Cold front brings changes in the weather in Belize

By on January 30, 2014

There will be some changes in the good weather we have been experiencing the last couple of days. 

That is because the proximity of a cold front near to the Yucatan Peninsula is supporting a slight increase in moisture over Belize heading towards the weekend.

The general forecast for Belize and her coastal waters is for mostly cloudy skies with a few showers or periods of rain mostly over northern and inland areas of the country.

Winds over the open sea and along the coast will be westerly to northwesterly at 5 to 15 knots, producing light chop to choppy sea conditions.

Temperatures will fall tonight to around 68 degrees Fahrenheit at dawn along coastal areas; 64 degrees Fahrenheit inland and a cold 60 degrees Fahrenheit up in the hills. 

 High temperatures on Thursday will be around 82 degrees Fahrenheit along the coast; 86 degrees Fahrenheit inland and a comfortable 72 degrees Fahrenheit up at the exposed areas of the Mountain Pine Ridge and along the Maya Mountains in the south.

The tides: high tides will occur at 8:51 pm today and at 10:06 am on Thursday.  Low tides will occur at 4:45 am and 3:18 pm, also on Thursday.

The sun will rise at 6:25 am on Thursday. It will set at 5:47 pm on Thursday. 

 The extended forecast, valid through to Saturday is for variably cloudy skies with cool conditions and generally isolated shower activity.

That’s a brief look at the weather, with information provided by forecaster Michael Gentle at the Belize Weather Bureau.
