Phoenix Resort in San Pedro
The Caribbean Sea
High pressure extends across the eastern and central Caribbean.
This is maintaining an ENE to ESE trade-wind pattern across the
entire basin. Fresh to strong trades with seas at 6 to 8 ft are
present at the S central basin, just N of Colombia. Light to
gentle trades and seas of 2 to 4 ft are noted over the NW basin.
Moderate to fresh trades and seas at 4 to 6 ft prevail for the
remainder of the Caribbean Sea. In the SW Caribbean, scattered
moderate convection is noted along a trough off the coasts of
Panama and Colombia, S of 11N between 75W and 82W.
For the forecast, fresh to strong NE to E trade winds will pulse
late night in the south- central Caribbean near the coast of
Colombia through early next week. A late- season cold front will
reach the Yucatan Channel this morning, then move through the NW
Caribbean today through Sat. Fresh to strong N to NE winds are
expected behind the front in the NW basin. The front will
dissipate by Sun, and winds will become moderate to fresh. High
pressure building in behind the front will increase NE to E winds
across the NW and central Caribbean from Sun night through at
least Tue night.
A sort of cold front crossed over Belize yesterday, causing a lot of rain in Mexico and Guatamala but little or none in Belize. That has now resulted in cool air clouds coming down from the north and heavy, higher clouds coming in from the west, still causing a lot of rain in Mexico, still not clear if any of that will get to Belize today.
Looks as if today will be mainly cloudy, getting even heavier cloud, but not sure about the rain.
Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last Night 27 °C 80 °F Yesterday max. 35 °C 95 °F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0 ") Over Night Rain 0 mm ( 0 " )
