On Ambergris Caye the morning's sky is gray. A 20 mph wind from the East is making sea conditions around our barrier reef rough. Today's expected high temperature is 88 f.

That storm over the Gulf is effecting our weather right now, it is bringing warm sticky air down from the north, pushing the Caribbean air back. Made worse by the swellup and rain over north Guatamala during the night, now resulting in high level cloud over most of Belize.

Looks as if today will be mainly cloudy and sticky, a chance of rain later.

Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )
Last night min. 25°C 79°F Yesterday max. 35°C 94°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm ( 0" )

The high clouds are thinning, allowing some sunshine in now. Presently no rain visible, but there is action in western Toledo. The heavy rain and lightning storm continues in the Gulf, part of a large weather system right up into the central and northern States, into Canada.

Clashing rain type clouds developing over western Cayo

National Meteorological Service of Belize currently issued advisories:

Residents, especially those residing in the interior of the country, are advised to remain hydrated and avoid outdoor activities as much as possible.

Thunderstorm activity tonight could be strong at times and accompanied by gusty winds, heavy rainfall and localized flooding, especially in the south.
