time on my hands ,, not much , to each his own i guess ,,,i have been here 17 years and have found much better places to live than david for sure . is hot in david year round but this time of the year i find it intolerable. the wind comes from the north in almost a constant blow and the southern half of panama  does not benefit ,, look at google earth and is so aparamnt where the green line is right down the middle of the country ,, any place north of the green  line is 10 degrees cooler this time of the year ,, lake gatun area is a much better place to live ,, my two cents worth

You got here in the very hottest time of the year, and opinion is it’s been hotter than usual. The rains are finally coming back though!
We’ve lived in David 6 1/2 years, very happy. Where are you? We are in the north edge, about 2 miles north of El Rey supermarket. We also love living with these super nice people, and having everything we need close by. There are a lot of options in this small country, and it’s great to hear you are happy with your choice.

Does one need air conditioning to live in David? Can locals, or well adapted expats, face the hottest temperatures without suffering? If not, when (night/day) and where (living room or elsewhere) do you/they use air conditioning?

HI!
Terry Trumbull here in David also.  Been here 11 years now and can likely help you with items you may need or want.  My wife died in October so I'm on my own in a very large home in the neighborhood  of Doleguita.  You can email me at   ***

Air conditioning is not needed, though moving the air by fans can help a lot.  I use air in whatever room I am in.  To air condition everywhere is costly and wasteful.  I have sealed all window with plastic to keep the heat out and cooled air in.  Humidity is the problem for most of the year when frequently raining.
