The Caribbean Sea
High pressure prevails north of the area. The pressure gradient
between this area of high pressure and climatological low
pressure over Colombia is supporting fresh to locally strong
winds over the south central Caribbean. Gentle to moderate winds
are over the NW Caribbean. Moderate to fresh winds prevail
elsewhere. Seas are in the 5-7 ft range over the south central
Caribbean, 1-3 ft over the NW Caribbean, and 3-5 ft elsewhere.
Winds will pulse to fresh to strong over the south central
Caribbean tonight and Thu night. Otherwise, a high pressure ridge
north of the area will support moderate to fresh tradewinds across
much of the Caribbean through Sun.
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
There are currently no organized tropical features in the Atlantic basin at this time. The combination of dry air and moderate to strong wind shear will likely prevent tropical development from occurring through at least this weekend and likely into early next week.
Long-range guidance suggests an easing of the wind shear across the Gulf of Mexico next week. At the same time, the long-range guidance suggests a surge of deep, tropical moisture will be spreading across the Caribbean Sea and into the Gulf of Mexico. Combining these two factors may provide the next opportunity for tropical development to occur across the basin.

The NOAA Climate Prediction Center forecasts possible cyclone development within the South-West Caribbean for the next few days. The inhabitants of that Caribbean and Gulf area should keep watch.
On Ambergris Caye this morning we have a breeze from the East at 11 mph creating calm sea conditions around our barrier reef. The expected high temperature is set at 89f. It's going to be a hot day.
The easterly Caribbean winds have cloud patches in it, now cloud developing over land, one or two areas chunkier clouds, some giving a few small rain showers. But high level clashing over the PG and Honduras area causing more rain, presently mainly out at sea.
Looks as if today will be mainly sunny, but with clouds developing more and the risk of the odd rain shower, more so around PG.
Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last Night 24°C 76°F Yesterday max. 32°C 90°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0")
