The Caribbean Sea
Upper level anticyclonic wind flow spans the entire area. A middle
level inverted trough extends from the NW corner of the Caribbean
Sea, just off the coast of the SE part of the Yucatan Peninsula,
to Panama.
The monsoon trough is along 07N/09N between 75W in Colombia and
beyond the waters that are along the southern part of Panama,
beyond 84W at the southernmost point of Costa Rica, and beyond into
the eastern Pacific Ocean. Scattered strong rainshowers are along
the coast of Colombia from 77W eastward, along the coast of Panama
between 78W and 79W. Isolated moderate to strong rainshowers are
elsewhere from 11N southward from 80W westward.
24-hour rainfall totals that are listed for the period that
ended at 20/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE
AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are 0.72 in
Guadeloupe, and 0.06 in Curacao.
Strong surface high pressure north of the region will continue to
support fresh to strong winds along the coast of Colombia and the
gulf of Venezuela through Tue morning. Winds will diminish
briefly, as a front passes to the north of the area. The winds
will return again on Tuesday night, and continue through Thursday
morning as a new ridge builds north of the area. Mixed NE and E
swell over the Atlantic will continue to impact the waters east of
the Lesser Antilles through Wednesday. Moderate to fresh winds
will dominate the central and eastern waters the remaining of the
forecast period.

From Belmopan...
There is still this lingering line of rain, right across central belize, with rain along the line, some below the line, and none above the line, which appears to be the boundary between the warm air from the south and the remaining cool air from the north. Chunky Caribbean cloud patches coming in from the ENE, high level cloud over central and south Belize from the WSW causing rain in the south.
Looks as if there will still be rain in central and some in the south this morning, none up north, presently fog in many parts, should clear to give sunshine in the north, but continuing patches of rain in the central and south.
Temperatures in Belmopan :
( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )
Last night min. 23°C 73°F Yesterday max. 28°C 83°F Yesterday Rain 51mm ( 2" )

On Ambergris Caye this morning we have a calm sea around our barrier reef and a breeze from the Northeast. The expected high temperature is in the low 80's.

The Cloud and Rain picture.
There is still some cool air pushing down from the north, appears to be effecting or causing a line between warmer air from the south, most rain along that line, yellow dashes.

As some of you may have noticed by now, there wass a very heavy line of rain, with thunder and lightning in it. Moving inland from the SE. This appears to be the front line of the warmer wetter air from the south, battling with the cool north air.
This afternoons Cloud and Rain picture.
The warm / cool air clash is now up in the Orange Walk district. The rain we had, 25mm 1" in just 45 minutes, was aggravated by the clash extending up into the high level cloud from the SW, causing thunder and lightning, and still is in the Belize district and eastern Cayo. Dryer air behind it. But rain developing in Orange Walk and into Corozal.
