Where should you go in Panama in may when it comes to the weather?

Remember:
The climate in Panama in may ranges from tolerable to very bad depending on the region and city.

That month is not the best month to go to in Panama. The weather in Bocas Del Toro, El Porvenir, San Blas Islands and Panama City is quite correct. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain frequently. Nevertheless, if you don't plan a beach and sun travel but rather cultural visits or hiking, this climate may be good enough for you. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists this month.

It's even worse in Hicaco Island, Anton, Los Santos (Las Tablas), Gamboa, Taboga island, Boquete and Contadora island and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. It is not advisable to visit these areas this month.
