The climate of David (Panama)
David is located in the western part of Panama in the province of
Chiriquí. The border with Costa Rica is about an hour away by car.
David has been built on a large empty plain with little high
vegetation. Because of this there is a lot of agriculture in the
vicinity. Coffee and tobacco are the main commodities here. Large
numbers of livestock are also kept in this region. The popular
vacation destination Boquete is in the vicinity. David has a tropical
climate. The year can be divided into two periods: a rainy and a
relatively dry period. During the rainy period during the entire
summer precipitation figures are very high. Combined with the heat
this causes humidity figures to be high as well. Temperatures below 20
degrees Celsius are uncommon all year round. Because the UV-index is
high all year round we advise you to apply sunscreen.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
