The paper describes trends in climate change indices in the Republic of Panama by using long-term
meteorological data sets from the Panama Canal and MRI-AGCM. Simple precipitation intensity index
from eleven climate change indices shows the same trend, increasing at six meteorological stations
around the Panama Canal. Forward projection (from 2080 to 2099) was carried out by using
MRI-AGCM3.1S and 3.2S, which demonstrates an increase in simple precipitation intensity index in the
entire area of Panama. The increase in simple precipitation intensity index may suggest that stronger
precipitation will occur more frequently in the future in Panama.
