WEEKLY WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR BELIZE
Valid: April 9 – April 16, 2012

A surface trough of low pressure extending from northern Belize north-westward across SW Yucatan and the central Gulf of Mexico, is under a favourable divergent pattern aloft, and will favour outbreaks of some thunderstorms over the next 24-48 hours. These features will gradually fade away on Wednesday, giving way to a more stable and warmer south-easterly airflow over the NW Caribbean and Belize.

Hence, we can expect seasonally fair and sunny weather to continue over all districts and coastal waters of Belize on Wednesday through the up-coming weekend. The best chance of a few showers and afternoon thunderstorms will be later on Monday and Tuesday.

Daily rainfall accumulations during will be in the range of 0.10-0.25 of-an-inch over north-western and western areas on Monday and Tuesday. Elsewhere, the daily rainfall totals will be 0.01- 0.10 of-an-inch during most of this working week and the weekend.
