OP Marty	From Belmopan... There are changes happening, the SE Caribbean dry air is meeting something from the west, causing clouds to form over northern and all coastal regions early. Raised fog covered much of the Stan Creek and Cayo districts. Last nights temperatures were higher than previously, so the sort of fog lifted, but was then met by the SE Caribbean winds, and has already resulted in significant cloud over much of Belize, there is, as I mentioned, a hint of other air from the west, which has made the cloud develop more than yesterday. So looks if there will be significant cloud over central and northern Belize for much of the morning. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 18°C 64°F Yesterday max. 29°C 85°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0.00" ) 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

OP Marty	Tomorrows WEATHER for - Wed 20 Feb 2019 The fog this morning was no surprise, and its lifting, but then things got strange. The cloud free SE Caribbean winds, appeared to snag on that fog and rapidly turn into clouds, many clouds most of the day. The air looked as if it was high humidity or had dust in it, which is possible, because it looks as if there was something moving above the Caribbean winds, from Guatamala, where there may be fires. Ah.! yes, i see many fires in Guatamala and it did look as if there was air or cloud moving from that direction. Clouds need dust particles to form round. Still no sign of rain although there was some in Guatamala behind our mountains. Not clear how tomorrow Wednesday, will start out, probably clear skies in the south, fog in west central and some clouds in northern Belize, but probably no rain.
