Let It Rain! We Love itThe rainy season is going to be a long one this coming year (2012).
That is what was forecast during the Climate Forum held in Mexico recently.
The culprit: La Nina.
Usually, Novemeber is our rainiest month and then it tapers off until we enter the dry season sometime in February.
The folks at the Climate Forum predict that Panama, and all Central American countries, will experience both intense and moderate rains through December and January.
Even in February there will be intermiten rains.
Basically, the weather experts are asserting that La Nina will cause the dry season to come two months late.
We love the rainy season, so it is good news for us.
However, many areas of Panama have already expereinced too much rain. There have been landsides damaging home and causing harm and in some cases deaths.
We were driving down the Inter-Americana between David and Paso Canas the night the bridge went out.
At times driving down the road was like driving across a strong stream.
We think we went over the bridge only a half an hour before it went out.
Let's home there are no more causalities - structures or lives 0 from the anticipated long rainy season.
Of course, they could be wrong about this new forecast for our Panama weather.
