From Belmopan...

There is a lot of activity around Belize this morning. High-level cloud from the SW is very heavy at present, clashing with the lower Caribbean easterly clouds, mainly over southern Belize and causing some rain down there this morning, the rain is not moving in particular direction, just developing where it is.

The sort of ITCZ swell-ups yesterday afternoon were due to the clashing of high-level with the low, but the low was swelling up a bit, due to the heat on the Guatemalan land.

Looks like today will be largely cloudy, both normal Caribbean easterly wind and SW high-level. There could be some rain showers, if this clashing continues.

Temperatures in Belmopan :
( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 24°C 76°F Yesterday max. 32°C 90°F
