The Caribbean Sea
Strong high pressure is centered north of the area over the
western Atlantic. 1010 mb low pressure is centered over northeast
Colombia, and pressure is falling over the western Gulf of Mexico.
The pressure gradient over the Caribbean is tight enough with this
pattern to support strong to near gale force off Colombia, and
strong winds as well off Honduras. Seas in these areas are
reaching 8 to 10 ft. Seas are 4 to 6 ft in the eastern Caribbean,
and 6 to 8 ft elsewhere. Scattered thunderstorm were active off
the coast of western Panama and Costa Rica, but these have been
diminishing lately. Isolated showers embedded in the trade wind
flow are noted across the Leeward Islands, northern Windward Islands,
the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Smoke from agricultural fires
onshore may be limiting visibility off Honduras, Belize, and
Mexico.
The high pressure north of the area will maintain fresh to strong
winds off Honduras and Colombia through late Tue, pulsing to near
gale force off Colombia to again tonight. Winds and seas will
start to diminish by the middle of the week as the high pressure
weakens and shifts eastward.

A hot day yesterday and a hot night. I think due to this smoke haze. Which this morning is even larger area, over the coast of Honduras, Belize and the Yucatan. I just hope the mid-level north going air flow takes much of that smoke away from Belize. There is one area of ITCZ swell up and rain, over Salvador this morning. Looks as if it could be another hot, uncomfortable day, with smoke haze holding the heat in, no rain expected. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 24°C 76°F Yesterday max. 36°C 97°F Yesterday Rain 0.0 mm ( 0" )

On Ambergris Caye this morning the wind is blowing at 19 mph from the Southeast creating rough sea conditions around our barrier reef. The day is sunny with an expected high temperature of 87 f.

It is now over 101°F in Belmopan. There are a few clouds starting to develop near San Ignacio area. Could they develop in a few small rain areas. ? On looking, I don't think so. Not much obvious air movement, except the easterly Caribbean air movement. The entire Benque area is covered in smoke.

From a friend in Cayo.... Here on east bank of Macal, many fires around also. raging in Pilgrimage Valley - and hopefully not heading to us. Too close for comfort. Last year the Friday after Easter, my house nearly burned down. Lost thousands in fencing and many producing fruit trees. Meant to do control fires this year, but then the darned virus. =========== Current air quality conditions considered harmful to human health. While the current high levels are not unusual for the Belize dry season, this year seems to be worse than average and reminiscent of the disastrous 2011 season. Note: Everyone can access these live data by going to www.purpleair.comIN SAN IGNACIO 105 Degrees HEAT, BUT FEELING LIKE 110 Degrees. BLACK MAN EDDY some twelve miles East of San Ignacio its 106. ON THIS EASTER MONDAY 13th OF APRIL 2020, AT 2.00 PM, THE TEMPERATURE, AT THE FOOT HILLS OF THE MAYA MOUNTAIN RECORDED 108 Degrees Fahregnheit. THE YALBAC HILLS ON THE OPPOSITE , JUST SOME FIVE MILES ACROSS, IS COVERED WITH LIGHT BLUE HAZE. ========== San Pedro as the sun went down...
