The cold front has now come right over Belize and much further down, it is diverting the Caribbean winds down to Panama. At the same time, there is a lot of high level cloud from the WSW over the whole area, presently causing a lot of rain areas, mainly out at sea.

Looks as if most of Belize will be under heavy cloud for much of the day, perhaps the odd brighter period, and a chance of rain showers.

Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )
Last Night 20°C 68°F Yesterday max. 29°C 84°F Yesterday Rain 0.9mm ( 0.04") Over Night Rain 6.3mm ( 0.25" )

The Cold air is coming down from the NNE and diverting the Caribbean winds and rain out at sea from the NNE, but the clash between the low cold and high level clouds from the SW is resulting in bands of cloud appearing to be moving in over Belize from the NW.
