OP Marty	There is a lot of chunky Caribbean cloud over many parts of Belize this morning, causing a little rain in a number of places this morning. The main activity is still to the south of us. There has been a small swellup along the Sarstoon this morning. Looks as if most of the day will be fairly dry, sunny with significant cloud from time to time, could be some rain later this afternoon. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 24°C 75°F Yesterday max. 33°C 92°F Yesterday Rain 11 mm ( 0.43" )
