By Belize Live News Staff: The umbrella gets one short shift today, Belize, and then the sunshine takes the schedule.
The National Meteorological Service reports conditions becoming relatively dry later today, with sunny skies and cloudy spells through the day and clouds at times tonight. The morning’s few extra showers belong to central and northern areas, isolated elsewhere, and by tonight the leftovers hand off to the south, as southern tradition demands.
The heat runs a notch below full August fury. Inland communities reach 93 degrees Fahrenheit (34 Celsius) before easing to 74 (23 Celsius) overnight. The coast tops out at 88 degrees Fahrenheit (31 Celsius) with a warm low of 83 (28 Celsius), while the hills hold the comfortable ground at 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 Celsius), cooling to 68 (20 Celsius). The water bottle stays on duty through the humid afternoon.
The sea keeps its choppy temper, easterly winds of 10 to 15 knots and waves of 3 to 5 feet, ordinary care applying for the smaller boats, especially near any lingering morning shower.
The tropics deliver the day’s quietest line: no cyclone formation is expected over the region in the next 48 hours, and the far Atlantic stays exactly where Belize likes it, far.
Wednesday brings the reward, mainly fair and warm with only isolated showers or thunderstorms developing, the settled pattern returning for the heart of the week.
As for the tides, today’s lows fall at 8:30 AM and 7:50 PM, with highs at 2:10 PM and 1:52 AM tomorrow. The sun rose at 5:36 AM and sets this evening at 6:16 PM. This forecast was prepared by forecaster Derrick Rudon.
