For Friday night and Saturday is for some showers, a few thunderstorms and periods of rain occurring over most areas of the country.
Sargassum Forecast from June 9 to June 16:
Satellite imagery continue to suggests high sargassum concentration over the Northwest Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Honduras. Therefore, the risk of sargassum affecting local beaches continues to be high. San Pedro has a high probability and a moderate impact.

The Caribbean Sea
An area of scattered moderate convection is present offshore near
the border of Nicaragua and Honduras, from 13N-17.5N between
82W-85W. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are noted
between Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and Jamaica, likely due to some
weak upper level divergence. Scattered moderate convection is
noted over portions of western Colombia and Panama. Mainly
moderate winds prevail over the Caribbean. The exceptions are
fresh to locally strong winds in the Gulf of Honduras and from the
coast of Colombia to 13.5N, with light to gentle winds south of
11N. Seas are in the 2-4 ft range over the NW Caribbean, and 3-6
ft elsewhere in the basin.
For the forecast, fresh to strong winds will pulse in the south-
central Caribbean and Gulf of Honduras. Moderate to fresh trades
will prevail elsewhere, except light to gentle south of 11N. A
weak tropical wave in the eastern Caribbean is helping to induce
scattered showers and thunderstorms. The wave will reach the
western Caribbean Sun. The next tropical wave will move into the
eastern Caribbean Mon through Tue night. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected over the southwestern Caribbean through
today.
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
There are currently no organized tropical features in the Atlantic basin, and none are expected to develop through at least the next couple of days. These quieter conditions may not last much longer.
A broad area of rotation in the midlevels, sometimes called a gyre, is developing near Central America and the nearby waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean. This gyre is causing an increase in shower and thunderstorm activity across Central America into southern Mexico. As of now, the threat of development appears to be over the Eastern Pacific Ocean with the chances of development in the Caribbean r Gulf of Mexico remaining quite low through the weekend and early next week.
All interests in Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico should be prepared for flooding downpours and some gusty winds through the weekend, regardless of whether or not a tropical system forms.

Tropical wave arriving in Central America and another one over the Caribbean. Low pressures associated with the Central American Giro and vortex in height will favor strong storms.
On Ambergris Caye this morning we have a wind from the East at 15 mph creating rough sea conditions around our barrier reef. The rain in our forcast seems to be falling everywhere but here. Today's expected high temperature is set at 86 f.
The Monsoon areas keep developing a lot of high cloud and swellups into what they call ITCZ activity. Right now, that has been happening for several days over southern Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua, Guatamala, and last night over Belize, bringing a lot of rain to central areas and now moving up into northern areas. This pattern will continue again tonight, but not necessarily over Belize.
The north will be getting a lot of rain, central areas are now clearing but continue with thick clouds and there is some sunshine in parts of the south at present. The rain clearing by this afternoon, but there could still be some smaller showers around.
Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last Night 23°C 73°F Yesterday max. 32°C 89°F Yesterday Rain 4.3 mm ( 0.2") Over night Rain 45 mm ( 1.8" )
Present Condition: Cloudy throughout the country except in the deep south. More cloudy and rainy in the north. Cloudy, windy and rainy in San Pedro. Moist and relatively unstable conditions prevail over the area. Flood watch: There is the possibility for flooding in low-lying and flood prone areas, especially over the southern districts.
24hr Forecast: Sunny with cloudy spells this afternoon and cloudy at times tonight and tomorrow morning. A few showers and isolated thunderstorms will develop over the mainland this afternoon, increasing to have some showers, a few thunderstorms and periods of rain occurring over most areas tonight and tomorrow morning.
Outlook: For Saturday afternoon through to midday on Sunday is for a similar trend in weather conditions, where showers and rain decrease during the afternoon and then increases during the nighttime.
