The Most Gorgeous Weather After BIG Rains But Is the Rain Really Over?

Just about 10 days ago, I wrote a post about the rain…about how I might need to build an ark on Ambergris Caye…or at the very least a small bridge to get from our yard, flooded with knee deep water to the street (the street which was only slightly less flooded).

I am VERY happy to report that since then we’ve seen week long stretch of the most gorgeous November weather. Our yard has just dried up this morning…leaving a nice patch of mud. The weather is slightly cooler, the air, slightly crisper* and sun sun sun. (* Crisp air in Belize means humidity below 85%)

This is the “rainy season” – weather is generally hot, low wind, low sargassum and beautiful until…for a few days in a row (maybe even 4 or 5), it is NOT.

I’ve been a bit down this past week, and MAN…this weather has met the occasion. There’s nothing like a beach walk with your dogs and watching them swim to make anyone feel better. Here are some of my pictures from last week.

One note: There is another weather system on our maps…

From NHC this morning. (And yes, you would be justified if you exclaimed “Are you f-ing kidding me!” I certainly did)

You can watch the forecast models (pick REGION: Western Atlantic) – looks like we are going to get some rain again. But it is still quite a few days away.

For now, I revel in this gorgeous weather. (Here’s the weather forecasting site I use…good, generally, for 2-3 days out)

Absolutely gorgeous skies…

And then I headed north later in the week…

And heading north some more…

Pretty cotton candy seaweed onshore near Robles Point.

Sailors’ eyeballs – huge single cell algae – that rolled up on the beach (from marble size to golf cart size – filled with water)

And just so you know it’s not all sunshine and glistening water, here are the boots I had to wear to get in and out of our flooded yard.

Trust me when I tell you that black rubber is not very comfortable in 80+ degree heat

And BOTH of our golf carts broke down this week. One with a broken axle and…oy. The other with broken bearings and…oy. These roads!

Enjoy the great weather and keep an eye on the weather maps. Have a fantastic week.
