Opened in 1914, the Panama canal allows maritime traffic to travel between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans very rapidly through a system of locks (2 on the Pacific side, one in the Atlantic side), and the boats pass through an artificial lake crossing the whole country of Panama.

It takes just a few hours to cross from one side to the other, while it would take weeks to go down to the tip of South America and back up.

In 2016, the canal opened new locks, that can receive larger boats.

In general, the highest relative humidity is observed ___________ and the lowest relative humidity is observed _____________

nikdorinn [45]

In general, the highest relative humidity is observed NEAR SUNRISE and the lowest relative humidity is observed during MID-AFTERNOON.

Relative humidity is inversely proportional to temperature. The colder the climate, the higher the relative humidity. The hotter the temperatures outside, the lower the relative humidity.

Relative humidity increases as the air temperature falls at night and peaks at dawn.

Temperature peaks during mid-afternoon, thus relative humidity is at its lowest.
