On Ambergris Caye this morning the sea is calming with the wind dying. It's down to 8 mph. from the ESE. Our expected high is 88 f.
It's shaping up to be a nice day.

From Belmopan...

Not much activity in our part of the world at present, but there is significant cloud around and that has been causing some scattered rain showers in some parts of Belize. The Caribbean easterly wind is high humidity and does have some clouds, but when that comes in over the cooler land, it forms into more cloud, particularly where it clashes with the thing high level wind from the west. The ITCZ activity has been way over in Mexico, and south over Panama.

Looks like today will be fairly sunny, but with significant clouds, a small chance of the odd rain shower.

Temperatures in Belmopan :
( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Thu max. 31°C 88°F Last night min. 25°C 76°F
