Panama weather versus Your weather

Day 269 Wednesday (Miercoles) - Panama City

Welcome to Wednesday, the ole middle of the week. Here in Panama City the weather is picture perfect this morning although we have had a number of wonderful heart thumping thunderstorms the past few days, but heck it is rainy season so that is expected. Turn your attention to the USA and you see Debby tearing through the Gulf causing all sorts of weather issues. One thing about Panama, there is NO Tropical Depressions and NO hurricanes that have ever been recorded in the history of the Isthmus. One of the reason folks come here to live is for the year round warm weather and to not have to worry about those vicious nasty storms.

Now don't get me wrong we do get our fair share of rain falling from the sky to the tune of 70-80" a year, if not more, and that in and of itself can cause lots of flooding in areas, but we do NOT have to worry about our houses and building falling down - This is a rain forest country after all so rain is all part of the beauty, but to sit in fear of some winds blowing you away, well it just ain't gonna happen. The Caribbean side of the country will get the most rain as it sits closer to the Tropical Depression line, while the Pacific side, well not so much.

We talk about this because weather is a daily event in all of our lives, sometimes it dictates what we will or will not do. And earlier this week I had a friend looking to travel back to the USA and could not due to our friend Debby hitting the Florida coast so it seemed like a good time to blog about it again.

Remember to Come To Panama and Turn That Frown Upside Down
