How much rain is normal per year on A/C and how much have you gotten thus far for 2009?
Posted By: Loansum-Al K Re: RAIN - 12/16/09 07:25 PM
55 to 60 inches annually, with approximately 60% of it between July & November. I don't know how much they've had year to date.

AC has been and is always different than what the national weather people predict. Were off the coast and the tip of the Yucatan the predictions/forecast that are for the mainland of Belize and its coastal areas hardly get close to what happens here.
I don't know who measures rain on the island ,maybe Amanda but what The National Weather Service says is hardly pertainate.

Nothing I look at seems to show rainfall amounts in any form of totals. IE month week year

Look under precipitation. You can check daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or use the custom link to set the dates you want. 12/15/08 to 12/16/09 shows a total of 44.88"

100 inches is in the definition of a rainforest :-(

Thanks Simon, I see it now. Its only good for 2 years tho. Looks as if the rain fall on A/C is the same for 08 & 09

The station has only been up about that long. You can request data directly from the Belize Meteorological Service at http://www.hydromet.gov.bz/Data_Request.htm

Seems to me that we had close to 14" on June 1, 2008 when "Arthur" formed right off the coast of San Pedro. That was a lot of rain.
