"Mukul" will arrive soon, a more intense cold front.

The cold air is still pushing way down over us and down as far as Nicaragua, but the mountains of Honduras and Guatamala result in a lot of cloud, caused by the cool having to go up into the earlier Caribbean air above it, there is still some clashing out at sea of Toledo causing areas of rain.

Looks as if most of Belize will be sunny today, but still cloud over parts of southern Belize, probably no rain.

Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )
Last Night 20°C 68°F Yesterday max. 27°C 81°F Yesterday Rain 3.8mm ( 0.2") Over Night Rain 1.1mm ( 0.04" )
