July 2024: Daily Events Calendar on Ambergris Caye

This is a list of the many JULY 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 July?

Also, businesses! If you would like to be included on this calendar, please email me [email protected]. Thank you!

Belize Weather in July

We just experienced a Tropical Storm Watch/Warning with Hurricane Beryl – which moved to our north and hit the Tulum, Mexico area about 150 miles to our north. This Hurricane broke records for reaching Cat 5 (out by Grenada) in the beginning of July. INCREDIBLY early for the Caribbean and particularly this portion of the Western Caribbean. If traveling to the Caribbean this time of year, consider travel insurance. But…

Here is how July usually goes:

July temperatures are quite warm – hot and humid- across Belize. Temperatures will generally be in the mid-80s but feel warmer due to the tropical humidity.

June 1st is the official start of the Hurricane Season in the Caribbean. Generally, our part of the Caribbean (SW) seems more systems forming the later season – August – October – but earlier storm systems are possible.

July brings some rain. We had our first real rains of 2024 in mid-June. (January thru May were dry…barely a drop) Generally, rain in July happens in the night or early morning, but you can see pass-over daytime showers in the Northern Cayes.

Crazy storm cloud
It looks menacing – and there was rain – but it was sunny 10 mins later

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)

Big Events Across the Country

There are a number of big parties in July – starting with July 1st…the opening of Lobster Season in Belize and…3 Lobster Festivals in Belize. I’ll be focused on the San Pedro Lobsterfest – but the others are FUN too.

San Pedro Lobsterfest 2024: July 1st to July 13th. The BIG event is the block party on the evening of the 13th.

Caye Caulker’s Lobster Festival takes place over a long weekend. First Mr Lobsterfest competition!

There is also a big Lobster Festival in southern Belize – in gorgeous Placencia village. Here’s where you can find information on that one 🙂

Placencia Lobsterfest July 19th-21st

Weather sites to check for a forecast: I use Windfinder.com for my weather forecasts but, honestly, during this time of year, you’ll see lots of predictions for clouds and rain…and more often than not, it’s sunny out. So for the big picture, keep an eye on the National Hurricane Center to see if there are storms in the area.

Because of Hurricane Beryl – she veered to our north – we are starting this calendar a week late!

    Hi Rebecca. First let me thank God that Belize was spared from Beryl’s destruction. I wrote you sometime back and I didn’t hear from you. I am planning on moving there before the end of the year. I’m planning on starting an import/export business.

    My previous question was. Are there any golf cart dealers there and is there room for additional golf cart rental businesses? I look forward to meeting you and Jeff and learning how to fly fish.

    All the best,

    Les Dooley

      I would say no. There are 50+…maybe 75…90 I’ve heard…companies on the island and they are mostly owned by the same group – same family. It’s a TOUGH business!

    I’m starting to believe that the Hurricane Gods must be holding our Sine Bite Peninsula in some in some sort of Deity Favor. One back in 2020 that skirted us. and now ole Beryl flat missed us. reminds me of another bread. Who could that be. Damn Right, sounds liker ole Sleepy Joe. No not that Slerepy Joe I’m refedrring tyo the pone that wakes up at 10 and is back in Bedby by for. Lives in Delaware some where.
