Scattered to numerous strong rainshowers cover the coastal waters/coastal plains of from central sections of Honduras eastward, and in the Gulf of Honduras. Isolated moderate rainshowers cover the rest of the NW corner of the Caribbean Sea, from the Windward Passage westward and northwestward.

The monsoon trough is along 08N/09N between 75W in Colombia, beyond 84W in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Isolated moderate rainshowers are from 11N southward from 80W westward. Rainshowers are possible elsewhere from 12N southward from 77W westward.

Marty OP	There is a large ITCZ type swellup, just off shore, which will be bringing heavy rains in this morning, some leading small swellups are already causing some rain in many parts. This is not a storm, but such swellups can cause some very high winds near them. See the met office warning below. Looks like this morning will be cloudy, then heavy rains and high winds over much of the country, particularly central, will probably ease up a bit later this afternoon. There is the potential for localized flooding over low-lying and flood prone areas, especially near rivers and streams in southern Belize. Small craft caution in effect for gusty winds and locally rough seas near heavy showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 23°C 74°F Yesterday max. 32°C 90°F Yesterday Rain 6.5 mm (0.26" )

Marty OP	Present Condition: Cloudy with thunderstorms. I had expected the early large swellup to come on shore mid morning, but it has leapfrogged and crashed on those earlier small ones, causing very heavy flash-flood rain, about 1" across most of Belize earlier this morning. The worst is now over, but there will be lingering rain much of the day.
