By Belize Live News Staff: Belizeans woke up to another beautiful day with sunshine blanketing the country. However, the idyllic weather is accompanied by a note of caution as Hurricane Milton has intensified into a major hurricane in the Caribbean Sea.
While Belize is currently bathed in sunshine and experiencing warm temperatures reaching 90°F (32°C) on the coast and a scorching 94°F (34°C) inland, all eyes are on Milton, which is packing winds of 145 mph as it churns near the Yucatan Peninsula.
This powerful Category 4 storm is moving east-northeast at 12 mph, and although Belize is not in its immediate path, the National Meteorological Service urges vigilance as hurricane trajectories can change quickly.
Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to enjoy the pleasant conditions, with clear skies and moderate winds creating a perfect day for outdoor activities. However, it is essential to stay informed and prepared.
The National Meteorological Service will continue to provide updates on Hurricane Milton, and Belize Live News will be your source for the latest developments.
Despite the potential threat in the region, today promises to be a delightful day in Belize.
Those in the hill regions can expect a slightly milder high of 81°F (27°C), while coastal areas will experience choppy seas with waves of 3-5 feet due to moderate west to southwest winds. This fair weather is expected to continue into Wednesday and Wednesday night. Nevertheless, stay tuned to Belize Live News for any changes in the forecast and the latest information on Hurricane Milton.
