The forecast above showing Saturday with a few periods of light rain?! Give me a break. This event feels like something that could earn a name. Can't believe my eyes, but have seen Coastal Express go by twice this morning. Eek.

From Diane on
Storm Caribe
Wet and wild
It's been a long time since I posted weather from Ambergris Caye. With a broken arm, a crashed computer and basically great weather this season, I have neglected reporting from beautiful Belize. Today is a bit different, and worth a brief post.
Big blob of weather came together over the sea east of us and turned into an event. Winds are strong from the southeast, seas are angry inside the reef. Rains are constant, but I can see out to the reef so it's not quite a whiteout at this moment.
The intrepid Coastal Express's 5:30 run just passed, a bit late but braving the weather for those souls who need to get to and from work up the island.
Would expect some sunken boats at docks this morning. Even a good auto-bilge might not keep up with this storm.
I also expect the saragassum was swept away elsewhere .... That could be nice.
Forecasters say this system will continue to move over land today and tomorrow and perhaps emerge in the Bay of Campeche where it could give birth to an official tropical storm.

From Belmopan...
Rain, rain, rain. This is not the weather for Thunderstorms, just rain due to a lot of wet air over us and low pressure, squeezing the moisture out of the clouds. The centre of rotation appears to be almost over Belmopan, so no wind with this sort of rain. However, most rain is now north of a line near Belmopan and Belize City. Just when you need it, the American weather sites screw up, NOAA can't be bothered to put the NCEP details on this morning and the Navy can't even be bothered to put anything on any web site. Southern Belize is now clear of rain.
I am expecting this rain area to move slowly northwards, so rain reducing during the day, from the south upwards, there may be a little sun occasionally, but mainly overcast.
Temperatures in Belmopan:
Today is probably going to be Similar, to yesterday :
Fri, max 28°C 82°F Last night min 24°C 75°F ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )
