August 2024: Daily Events Calendar on Ambergris Caye
This is a list of the many AUGUST 2024 events and activities around Ambergris Caye. But before I dive into the calendar, let’s start with the big picture. What is Belize like in August?
Also, businesses! If you would like to be included on this calendar, please email me [email protected]. Thank you!
Belize Weather in August
Here is how August usually goes:
August temperatures are quite warm – hot and humid- across Belize. Temperatures will generally be in the mid-80s but feel warmer due to the heavy tropical humidity. “Rainy season” is here but that does not mean rain every day.
Usually we get the heavier rains in the night/very early morning (like before 8am). There can be daytime rains as well but generally they are just passovers – and the sun will be out quickly. There can be rainy days but the sunny days waaaay outweigh the rainy.
June 1st is the official start of the Hurricane Season in the Caribbean. Generally, our part of the Caribbean (SW) seems more systems forming in the later season – August to October – so you are going to want to check the National Hurricane Center for updates. It is a time of year where travel insurance might be worth it.
If there is a tropical storm watch or warning issued, that can give you some additional options to get reimbursed or credited. (We can go years without an watches issued, but earlier this year with Beryl, we had a tropical storm watch issued for early July – the storm missed us, veering up towards Tulum and Playa Del Carmen)
Don’t worry – there will be PLENTY of sun. Pack LOTS of high SPF sunblock and a can or two of bug spray or lotion for the early mornings and evenings. (I recommend this brand because it’s not greasy, don’t stink and REALLY works) Here is my Amazon storefront (definitely a work in progress) with some of my favorite items to pack for a comfortable trip.
There are some interesting festivals in Belize (but not Ambergris Caye) during August – these ones are new to me…but if you attend, let me know! I’d love to hear more. Both look REALLY fun.
Belize Beef Fest and Rodeo
AND the same day, The 9th Annual Yellow Ginger (Turmeric) Festival in Punta Gorda. I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO THIS!
Also note: Some businesses (restaurants, hotels and bars) on Ambergris Caye will close during the slowest season of the year for a week or two…or more…to fix up their spot, to take vacations and to allow employees to go on vacation. This generally happens in September and/or October but I’ve seen an announcement or two for August. I’ll share as I see closure announcements here.
