While the rest of the country endured frequent downpours during the month of July rainfall in the Panama Canal watershed was 13.7% below the historical average.
According to the, monitoring rainfall in the basin, so far this year, June was the only month when it reached 20% above average rainfall.
In the rest of the months of the year, there has been a deficit in expected precipitation.
Because rainfall has been below average, the reservoirs are still in the process of recovery, after a very dry 2019.

Panama should build more dams on the rivers that feed the lake and build a bigger reservoir reserve, while also the ability to produce clean hydro-electric power. I have always wondered why they have been so slow to do this.
