As the rainy season draws in not only is there an increase in rain, there is also a significant rise in the temperature. Well, as many people helpfully point out, it is not really the that the temperature has rise hugely, it is more that the humidity is more noticeable - in fact, it feels as if it has gone through the roof.
At certain times of the day, particularly just before it rains, it almost feels like you can't breathe - it litrally takes your breath away. If it weren't for air conditioning I don't think I would sleep at all.
This isn't just something that bothers the visitor to Panama, the locals suffer from it too, although not to the same degree.
This morning we had mass in smaller groups than usual. The group that I was with had the option of a large and spacious room with air conditioning, or a small room with no air conditioning, and, you've guessed it, they went for the smaller room. I thought mass would never end and, even though it was only 6.45am, I felt like I should be heading back to bed.
The only solution is to keep hydrated, to use a body moisturiser, and to realise that nobody is really interested in your complaints.
