Here I am stepping into this thread one year later, just checking out the weather conditions for our upcoming cruise. We leave on the Mercury 2 weeks from this Friday. We are bringing shorts as we know that it's going to be warm (hot)!!
This link says to avoid the summer due to frieght traffic and the rainly season.
ALSO the months of January and February because of the extreme heat and humidity. I can vouch for that! The only times we have been through the Canal or to Colon have been in January/February and it was always almost too hot/humid to breath!
LuLu ... Visit SOUTH CAROLINA!

OVER 40 (started young) Princess, Celebrity, RCCL, HAL, NCL, Costa, Disney, Carnival, Sitmar (Princess bought), and (a very long time ago) SS Bahama Star
We have cruised the Canal at the end of January and at the end of April. For sure the weather was more comfortable in April. We had some afternoon rain, but it quickly cleared up. I would definitely go again in April.
eh gads, getting old. Can't remember when we went. Once I post this, it should show.
It was humid, but not unbearable.
