Solar elevation and azimuth over the course of November 2022. The black lines are lines of constant solar elevation (the angle of the sun above the horizon, in degrees). The background color fills indicate the azimuth (the compass bearing) of the sun. The lightly tinted areas at the boundaries of the cardinal compass points indicate the implied intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest).
Moon
The figure below presents a compact representation of key lunar data for November 2022. The horizontal axis is the day, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the colored areas indicate when the moon is above the horizon. The vertical gray bars (new Moons) and blue bars (full Moons) indicate key Moon phases. The label associated with each bar indicates the date and time that the phase is obtained, and the companion time labels indicate the rise and set times of the Moon for the nearest time interval in which the moon is above the horizon.
Humidity
We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
The chance that a given day will be muggy in Panama City is rapidly decreasing during November, falling from 26% to 15% over the course of the month.
For reference, on 21 July, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 99% of the time, while on 31 January, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 4% of the time.
Wind
This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 metres above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages.
The average hourly wind speed in Panama City is gradually increasing during November, increasing from 15.3 kilometres per hour to 16.3 kilometres per hour over the course of the month.
For reference, on 22 January, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 16.9 kilometres per hour, while on 9 August, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 10.9 kilometres per hour.
The wind direction in Panama City during November is predominantly out of the east from 1 November to 15 November and the north from 15 November to 30 November.

Water Temperature
Panama City is located near a large body of water (e.g., ocean, sea, or large lake). This section reports on the wide-area average surface temperature of that water.
The average surface water temperature in Panama City is decreasing during November, falling by 3°C, from 24°C to 21°C, over the course of the month.
Growing Season
Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 0°C) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from 1 July until 30 June in the Southern Hemisphere).
The growing season in Panama City typically lasts for 11 months (326 days), from around 3 February to around 27 December, rarely starting after 4 March, or ending before 6 December.
The month of November in Panama City is very likely fully within the growing season, with the chance that a given day is in the growing season gradually decreasing from 100% to 95% over the course of the month.
Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. In this report, we use a base of 10°C and a cap of 30°C.
The average accumulated growing degree days in Panama City are increasing during November, increasing by 208°C, from 3,606°C to 3,814°C, over the course of the month.

Data Sources
This report illustrates the typical weather in Panama City, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from 1 January 1980 to 31 December 2016.
Temperature and Dew Point
There are 2 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Panama City.
For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Panama City according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.
The estimated value at Panama City is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Panama City and a given station.
The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:
- Panama City-Bay County International Airport (historical) (KPFN, 74%, 6 km, north, -1 m elevation change)
- Tyndall Air Force Base (KPAM, 26%, 13 km, southeast, -2 m elevation change)
To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Panama City and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate. Please note that each source's contribution is adjusted for elevation and the relative change present in the MERRA-2 data.

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.
We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.
