The cool air from the NW is slowly moving down, and diverting the Caribbean easterly winds now, but its progress is slow and unlikely to reach Belize today. But it will probably mean little or light winds over Belize today, possibly making it hotter than yesterday, after the fog has lifted. No indication of any rain.

Looks like today will be hot and sunny after fog cleared, hopefully some clouds will develop during the morning, little or no rain expected this morning.

As expected, the cool air coming down is stopping the Caribbean winds, and preventing the typical clouds from forming, so it looks like it will be a hot day. I do not believe there is any rain around, but the Radar is still stuck on yesterday evening.

93°F today. So much for a cold front. ! The hottest day of the year. . . The only rain was from me working outside, sweat dropping everywhere, and on the pipes I was trying to glue in the ground. The Radar now working and showing rain coming down over Guatamala.
