Pannawa has a tropical rainforest climate under the Köppen climate classification.[2] The village's climate is tropical and hot throughout the year.

The only major change in Pannawa's weather occurs during the monsoons from May to August and October to January. This is the time of year during which heavy rains can be expected.
