The Caribbean Sea
The latest surface analysis depicts a rather weak pressure
gradient across the basin. Overnight ASCAT data highlighted
moderate to fresh trade winds over the central Caribbean and
fresh to strong southeast winds in the Gulf of Honduras. It
revealed moderate trade winds elsewhere across the basin. Mainly
fair weather conditions are in place across the basin, except for
isolated shower and thunderstorm activity that is occurring over
the far southwestern Caribbean along the coast of Panama. Wave
heights are in the 4-6 ft range across most of the basin, except
up to 7 ft in some locations in the south-central Caribbean.
For the forecast, fresh southeast winds will continue over the
northwestern Caribbean through the period, while fresh to strong
east to southeast winds continue in the Gulf of Honduras. Winds
will pulse to strong speeds over a small area near the coast of
Colombia during the afternoons and at night through Thu. Elsewhere,
generally moderate to fresh east winds will change little through
Fri night.
Windward Islands Ashfall Advisory: La Soufriere volcano on the
island of Saint Vincent near 13.3N 61.2W is currently undergoing
frequent eruptions. Volcanic ash may be reaching the ocean
surface and low level visibility may be reduced. Mariners
traveling within the area 18N39W to 08N40W to 10N50W to 15N62W
to 17N45W to 18N39W are urged to exercise caution, especially
west of 50W where the densest ash is being observed.
The Caribbean winds continue to be deflected up northwards, high level winds are patchy. There has been some sort of air movement down from the north over the whole of the Yucatan.
Looks as if today will be another hot near cloud free day, no rain expected, unless a swellup occurs.
Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last Night 25°C 77°F 36°C 96°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0")

Present Condition: Clear skies and hot. Bright, hot, and dry weather conditions prevail over the area. A small craft caution may go into effect later tonight for occasionally gusty winds and locally rough seas. A heat alert is in effect. Residents, especially those inland, are advised to stay hydrated and avoid outdoor activity as much as possible.
24hr Forecast: Mostly sunny today and clear to partly cloudy tonight. Daytime temperatures will continue to be hot across the country, while it continues to be warm at night. There is the chance of an isolated thunderstorm developing over the mountains this afternoon.
Outlook: For Tuesday afternoon through to midday on Wednesday is for similar seasonable hot and dry weather to continue.
The weather is changing. All these swellups in late afternoon in Guatamala and Honduras caused by the SW Pacific winds. But all that high level cloud will probably clear over night.
