On Ambergris Caye a breeze from the East blowing at 9 mph, is calming the sea around our barrier reef. We have sunshine.
Today's expected high temperature is 89 f.

The easterly Caribbean winds are just starting to try to come back, but still very slow. There is a lot of high level cloud making in the Pacific to the south of us, and a little in the Caribbean. A few small rain showers in Toledo. TS ALEX is still around, near Bermuda and strengthened close to hurricane speed, but may be reducing now.

Looks as if we will have a fair bit of sunshine today, a little Caribbean easterly cloud, some high level cloud from the SW, there cold be some rain showers this afternoon.
