Marty OP	From Belmopan... The hurricane, top left red circle, is now down to just a depression, but still listed as TROPICAL STORM BUD but it is reducing. But there are three areas of intense ITCZ Monsoon band activity, orange circles. One listed as INVEST 91L which is listed as in the Gulf of Mexico as shown with a blue circle, there is only relatively small swellup activity there, but the Caribbean cloud is pushing across there from the SE. INVEST simply means a location for watching and investigation, not necessarily a developing storm. The three orange circles are far more active, showing in dark red on the second picture. These are not threatening Belize at present, but they do indicate a lot of significant ITCZ activity near and around Belize, which means one could, some day, be over Belize, we are well in the rainy season now. Looks as if today is going to be rather mixed, periods of sunshine, cloud and the chance of rain showers. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 24°C 76°F Yesterday max. 33°C 91°F Ambergris Caye: https://www.wunderground.com/q/locid:BHXX0104;loctype:1 Belmopan: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=MD1029#history Caye Caulker: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=IBELIZED2#history

Marty OP	The Cloud and Rain picture. There is a large area of ITCZ swellup causing a lot of rain just to the north of Belize, mainly out at sea. There are a few areas of rain further south, mainly in the Orange Walk district. There are small swellups in Guatamala and there could be some later in central Belize, causing some rain patches later.
