From Belmopan...

Well the Moon recovered from being eaten by the dragon last night and the West winds are still blowing over Belize from Mexico, Guatamala, presently little or no smoke. There are two high winds, the SSW to the west of Belize and the North high winds just off the coast, which has caused a large flare-up over the sea. There is also a line of cloud just off the northern coast line. Presently the Caribbean winds are far away, but blowing from the SSE, they might just recover and come to Belize later today or tonight. They have abandoned TS Ida , but suddenly picked on Tropical Depression Eleven up above the Bahamas. Tropical Storm Marty is still developing in the Pacific, I have added this to the map and sending cloud out towards us. But they still have not abandoned Invest 99L in the Gulf, just north of Yucatan.

Looks like another dry day with stable conditions over the area, mainly sun, but cloud building up from the west, probably no rain.

Temperatures in Belmopan:
Today is probably going to be Similar, to yesterday : Sun, max 33°C 91°F Last night min 26°C 78°F ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )

From Belmopan...

Very Heavy RAIN, Thunder and Lightning all around Belmopan yesterday evening...

Looks like much of central and north Belize got it too.

62.5mm ( 2½" ) of Heavy Rain in just one hour. Not quite a record. .... . But it now means we have more water in the Ground than we have so far ALL Year since before January.. ... .It means that September rainfall is right up to the Normal or Average for Septembers.

About 6pm, had a tremendous Thunder.Lightning strike, very close by. Took the power out for the second time. . . . . This Lightning, I could hear it crackling right over my head.. . .. . I hope it did not strike my roof, but that is what it sounded like. That must have been the nearest strike I have ever been near.
