Early in the morning, the Caribbean coast experienced sporadic showers moving from the sea towards the coasts, providing relief but also complicating the morning routines. And that's not all: in the afternoon, isolated showers with thunderstorms are expected, especially over Guna Yala, Colón, and the mountains in the West. At night, the pattern repeats: intermittent rains could fall in gusts in maritime and coastal areas. On the Pacific side, the morning also started with the occasional isolated shower between the Gulf of Panama, the East, and Darién. In the afternoon, the situation becomes more serious: rains of varying intensities could affect Chiriquí, the Ngäbe Buglé Comarca, Central Provinces, West Panama, Panama, and Darién. By night, these rains could move towards the Chiriquí Lowlands, Southern Veraguas, the East, and maritime areas. As for the heat, don't expect much of a break: highs will range between 30°C and 32°C on the Pacific, 28°C to 31°C on the Caribbean, and in the Central Cordillera, it will be a cool 22°C to 24°C. The wind will be variable, from the West and Southwest, at speeds of 10 to 25 km/h, so it won't be a completely calm day. Maritime conditions will see the Caribbean with waves of 0.8 to 1.2 meters, while the Pacific waves will be between 0.5 and 1.0 meters—somewhat calmer but still noteworthy. And be mindful of the sun when it appears: UV-B indices will be moderate to high (3 to 7), so sunscreen and common sense are essential. If you are out and about today, be alert, as the sky is in a changeable mood.
