When I start to see friends' posts at the beginning of December talking about how cold they are and how much snow they've had, it makes me thankful for the weather here where we live.
We live in one of the highest towns in Panama, close to the base of the largest volcano, Baru. Since we are also near the equator, the weather is basically the same all year long. Our temperatures range from mid 50s in the morning to mid 70s in the heat of the day. Never any snow. Never any hail. Never a tornado. Never super hot weather. It's considered the Land of Eternal Spring, and it really is.
In the month of December, we will have rainbows pretty much daily. We get wind sometimes, and sometimes it's peacefully still. We get very little, if any, rain during December, but plenty of sunny skies.
The sun comes up and goes back down at basically the same time every day of the year. It typically drifts about 30 minutes later in the morning in the months of December and January, but then it goes back to normal for the rest of the year. We typically have sun from 6am to 6pm.
We love it here. If we need warmer temperatures, we go down the mountain, but usually this weather is perfect for us. We love the sunrises and sunsets during this season. Each one is unique and beautiful!
