By Belize Live News Staff: Belizeans across the country can expect a wet and stormy weekend as a powerful tropical wave moves through the region, according to the National Meteorological Service.
Today, we’ll see a mix of cloudy skies and sunny breaks, but don’t be fooled – scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop throughout the day. The wet weather will continue into tonight, with some areas, especially in the north, experiencing heavier rainfall.
