So, during this season, especially the later months (August thru October) it is generally hot. HOT. And there is less of a breeze. It can be rainy but your chances of sun are just as good. The town is almost void of most tourists…so if you are thinking of visiting…DO! You get great deals, you get to know the locals, some businesses are closed but most are not and I can promise you, it will be warm.
Hurricane season –> Hot and muggy (or did I mean buggy?) with a chance of rain. Be prepared to sweat.
Winter: A nice dry breeze tends to blow day and night. The humidity is lower and the sun shines just about every single day (99/100). And it will be in the mid 70s to mid 80s all day long. In the evening, you will want a light jacket or long sleeved shirt. The weather is just about perfect.
It can get VERY CHILLY a few nights in December or January when a serious cold front gets all the way down here (think BOMB CYCLONES). Low 60s doesn’t sound cold to you…but with a chilly sea breeze and sitting on a fast moving golf cart, it can feel WICKED.
Belizeans take it even more seriously…you’ll see MANY wool hats, sweat shirts, gloves and even fur hooded parka.
It’s not just those born and raised here. Jason, who is opening a new business here on the island soon called Camo Cantina posted this photo yesterday. It was probably about 70 degrees but in the shade? BRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Cold front aside, this is also the “busy season”. And the town is hopping. It’s a great time to visit. IDEAL weather wise.
Winter: Sparkly crispy perfection.
Easter weekend is also a very busy time here. It’s a giant party weekend for Belizeans and the island is packed.
Summer: This season brings the real heat. June, July and August tend to be HOT (high 80s to low 90s) but still, there is a breeze most days. It’s also much more humid. Curly haired girls, get ready to be frustrated.
It also starts to rain a bit, but generally it is passing or at night. And the dark clouds that can roll in, dump rain and then roll right out can be some of the most beautiful weather you’ve ever seen.
I especially enjoyed the picture of your friend Kevin. haha
Ridiculous. But I was also wearing a coat. I shouldn’t poke fun…
This year it was so hot here in the summer (Texas) that I told my husband I was going to start spending the summer in Belize too, and not just the winter! Seriously, it was 100+ for 60 days with the exception of 3 days during that time.
Catdance, I think even the east coast saw weather MUCH hotter than we ever see down here. But 60 days over 100? UGH! Misery. And I like the heat.
