Marine Conditions:
The Caribbean Sea
A surface trough is along 24N68W in the Atlantic Ocean, across
the eastern sections of the Dominican Republic, to 14N69W in the
Caribbean Sea. Broken to overcast multi-layered clouds, and
scattered showers, are north of 16N in the Caribbean Sea, between
67W and 72W.
The monsoon trough extends from northern Colombia near 11N73W,
across Panama, beyond southern Costa Rica, and into the eastern
Pacific Ocean. Isolated showers are south of 10N, west of 76W.
Isolated showers are noted elsewhere, in scattered to broken low-
level clouds that are moving through the area.
Strong trade winds in the central Caribbean Sea will pulse to
near gale-force early this morning near the coast of Colombia.
A strong cold front in the Gulf of Mexico will reach the Yucatan
Channel tonight, extend from central Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras
Friday morning, and from eastern Cuba to SE Nicaragua Saturday
morning, then stall and weaken on Sunday.
The easterly Caribbean winds are predominating, but are being turned up northwards near the north of the Yucatan, due to a cold front pushing down yet again, but it will not have much effect on our weather today. Too early to say if it will get to us tomorrow. Unlikely to be bringing any Snow though.
Looks like today will be mainly sunny, but with some clouds developing, probably no rain.
Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last night min. 22°C 71°F Yesterday 28°C 83°F Yesterday Rain .8 mm ( 0.1")
