From Belmopan...

Looks as if the weather people are very confused, NOAA have recognised what I said, that a Cold front crossed Belize yesterday. But the Belize Met appear to be giving Saturdays weather, the cold front, a strong cold front crossed yesterday, giving some rain and strong SW winds, not nw winds. So the SW surface cool air continues today.

Looks like today will be largely overcast for much of the day with cool air from the SW probably no rain.


Light Blue arrows are the Surface winds, White are the lower Clouds, Yellow mid level Clouds and Orange the high level Winds.

Temperatures in Belmopan :
Today is probably going to be Cooler, to yesterday : Sun, max 28°C 82°F Last night min 23°C 73°F ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )

Or fleece vests, shoes and socks. It may read 77 on the thermometer but the wind chill brings it down. Don't laugh, it DOES!
Signed - chilly but happy in paradise.

The drizzle was so light you could not see it in the air and it evaporated as soon as it lit. My yard man said it was BELIZE SNOW. It felt very good on the skkkin.
