Is the water temperature in Panama at end of February warmer on Caribbean or Pacific side?

The Pacific Ocean tends to be warmer compared to the Caribbean Sea on the Panama coast because of the different oceanographic factors. The Pacific coast of Panama is influenced by the warm waters of the equatorial countercurrents and the tropical climate, which contribute to higher sea surface temperatures. The Caribbean coast, on the other hand, is affected by cooler, nutrient-rich waters from the Caribbean current, resulting in slightly cooler temperatures. Additionally, the Caribbean coast experiences stronger winds and upwelling, which bring cooler water to the surface, further contributing to the difference in water temperatures between the two coasts.
