Tropical Weather Outlook:
A tropical wave over the eastern Caribbean Sea is producing disorganized thunderstorms and gusty winds. However, this system has a medium chance of becoming a tropical depression later this week when it moves over the Western Caribbean Sea. Although this system is over 1400 miles from our shores and poses no immediate threat to the country, the National Meteorological Service of Belize will continue to monitor its progress very closely.

There are a number of large swellups just off the coast, clearly causing a fair bit of rain, mainly out at sea, but some inland in the south coastal regions. There is no Caribbean wind at present, just a little mid-level from the SE, the high-level is from the NW, but there is a surface "Tiger" wind inland, from the SW. Looks as if another mixed day, presently sunshine in central and some north areas, some cloud will be building later, presently looks as if the rain will hold off or even move away from the coast line this morning, could be some rain this afternoon. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 25°C 76°F Yesterday max. 30°C 86°F Yesterday Rain 5.7 mm ( 0.2")
