OP Marty	From Belmopan... Rain, and more Rain. We are in a conveyor belt of low pressure clouds and rain, otherwise known as the Monsoon belt. This is sort of the seasonal normal, but more so this year than typical. Although so far this year we have been low on rain, June, July and September were all significantly lower than usual, January was high, very high, and now October is very high, but overall, for the year so far, we are only 3% above the typical rainfall. Right now, the rain is being made by a mid level air movement from the south. Looks like today will be yet another wet and cloudy day, few glimpses of the sun. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 24°C 76°F Yesterday max. 30°C 86°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
