The climatic variations of Bocas del Toro, Los Santos and Panama were caused by changes in sunlight, average temperature, evaporation and relative humidity, causing alterations in the climate. Therefore, the general objective focused on analyzing the effect of sunshine on the levels of temperature, evaporation and relative humidity. The methodology included a type of analytical study, with a non-experimental, longitudinal design; and a quantitative approach. The population included the years from 1990 to 2015, and the sample, from 2002 to 2008. With a non-probabilistic, intentional sample. The subjects were sunshine, average temperature, relative humidity and evaporation. To collect data, the documentary review technique was used, with its instrument, the information matrix. To analyze the data, the normality test, simple correlation, time series, linear trend line, mean and range were used; and IBM SPSS software, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel were used. The results indicated that Bocas del Toro maintained a climate with a lot of humidity and precipitation; and Los Santos and Panama, with emphasis on the dry and rainy seasons. In the conclusions it was pointed out that Bocas del Toro showed an effect of sunlight on evaporation, and zero on relative humidity and average temperature; Los Santos and Panama, an effect of sunlight on relative humidity, evaporation and average temperature.
