By Belize Live News Staff: Belizeans awoke to another day of glorious sunshine and gentle breezes today, as a light and dry easterly airflow continued to dominate the country’s weather patterns. The National Meteorological Service of Belize has forecast that this delightful weather will persist into Tuesday, with only isolated showers expected to disrupt the sunshine.
While Belizeans soak up the sun, temperatures along the coast are expected to reach a pleasant 90°F (32°C), while inland areas will see slightly warmer temperatures, peaking at 96°F (36°C). Those seeking a cooler escape can head for the hills, where temperatures will reach a comfortable 82°F (28°C).
However, a note of caution lingers in the air as Hurricane Debby swirls in the Gulf of Mexico, posing a threat to neighboring Florida. As of 6:00 AM today, the hurricane was located 65 miles north-northwest of Cedar Key, Florida, moving north-northeast at 10 mph with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.
Belizeans are urged to keep a watchful eye on the storm’s progress and express solidarity with their Floridian neighbors as they prepare for the hurricane’s impact.
For those planning to enjoy Belize’s stunning marine environment, conditions remain favorable. Winds are blowing from the east-southeast at a gentle 5-15 knots, and the sea state is slight, with waves ranging from 1-3 feet.
Whether you’re hitting the beach, exploring the reef, or simply enjoying the sunshine, Belize’s weather forecast promises another beautiful day in paradise. However, as we soak up the sun, let’s not forget those who may be facing less favorable conditions and keep them in our thoughts.
