On Ambergris Caye this morning it's calm and the sea is very inviting with an expected high of 90f.

From Belmopan... 09:00 BZT

There has been rain down near PG in the early hours this morning and a few elsewhere.. .. .There are a few, very few showers coming from the Caribbean, but most is or has dyed out by now.. . .. . That rain from Mexico died out last night, without coming near Belize.

So today will probably be mainly sunny, with some cloud building up later.

That NE Caribbean weather is still not rotating, but it has stalled and is moving slowly south. . . I suspect rain to those islands.
