By Belize Live News Staff: The National Meteorological Service of Belize has issued its latest weather update, indicating a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers for today, August 10th, 2024. While the morning is expected to bring predominantly sunny skies with occasional cloud cover, residents and visitors should be prepared for some showers and even thunderstorms, particularly along the coastal regions.
The coastal areas of Belize are likely to experience the brunt of the wet weather this morning. The Met Service forecasts a few showers and thunderstorms, which may impact outdoor activities and commutes in these areas. However, the good news is that this shower activity is expected to taper off by the afternoon, becoming more isolated.
In contrast, inland regions can anticipate mostly dry conditions throughout the day. While there might be some cloud cover at times, significant rainfall is not anticipated. This should allow for a pleasant day for residents and visitors in these areas to enjoy outdoor activities or simply soak up the sunshine.
As the day progresses into the evening and night, shower activity is expected to pick up again, primarily over the southern and coastal parts of the country. Those in these areas should be prepared for potential downpours and take necessary precautions, especially if venturing out at night.
On a positive note, the Met Service reports that there is no expectation of tropical cyclone formation in the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of Mexico within the next 48 hours. This provides some reassurance for those concerned about the potential impact of tropical weather systems.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to stay tuned to the latest weather updates from the National Meteorological Service of Belize. While the forecast indicates a generally pleasant day with some scattered showers, it’s always wise to be prepared for any changes in weather conditions.
