By Belize Live News Staff: The National Meteorological Service of Belize reports that a moderate easterly airflow will dominate weather conditions today.
For the next 24 hours, skies will be mostly sunny across the country. Tonight, skies will become partly cloudy to cloudy, with showers expected to remain isolated except in the south where a few showers and isolated thunderstorms are forecast.
Marine conditions are expected to be choppy, with winds blowing from the east to southeast at 10 to 20 knots and waves ranging between 3 to 5 feet.
Temperatures across the country remain hot, with highs reaching 95°F (35°C) inland, 89°F (32°C) along the coast, and 84°F (29°C) in the hills. Overnight lows will fall to 74°F (23°C) inland, 83°F (28°C) along the coast, and 68°F (20°C) in the hills.
