Chance of rain and thunderstorms

The 10-day weather forecast for Belize shows a consistent pattern of thunderstorms and rain.

For the next 10 days, there is a daily chance of rain and thunderstorms, ranging from a 40% to a 100% chance of precipitation. The temperature will remain warm, with highs of 86°F to 90°F, and lows of 76°F to 80°F. The humidity will be high, averaging between 79% and 97%.

The winds will generally be light to moderate, ranging from 4 to 20 mph, and predominantly blowing from the east. However, there will be some variation, with winds coming from the northeast and southeast at times.

The combination of warm temperatures, high humidity, and the consistent chance of rain and thunderstorms suggests that this will be a very wet and humid period for Belize. The weather will be typical of a tropical climate, with the potential for heavy downpours and electrical storms.

While the forecast indicates a high likelihood of thunderstorms, it is worth noting that tropical weather can be unpredictable. It is always advisable to stay up to date with the latest weather warnings and advisories, especially in areas prone to tropical storms and hurricanes, such as Belize.

High and low temperatures

The next 10 days in Belize are expected to be warm, with temperatures reaching the high 80s °F. Humidity is predicted to be high, with an average of 88% and winds will be mild, rarely exceeding 10-20 mph.

Over the next few days, temperatures will remain consistent, with highs of 86°F and lows of 79°F. The highest temperature in the upcoming 10 days is expected to be 89°F, with the lowest being 76°F.

The following days will see a continuation of these warm temperatures, with highs of 87°F and 88°F. Lows will be slightly warmer than previously, with the temperature not expected to fall below 78°F.

The final few days of the 10-day forecast show a slight decrease in temperature, with highs of 86°F and lows of 79-80°F.

Overall, the weather in Belize over the next 10 days will be warm and humid, with consistent temperatures and a moderate chance of rain and thunderstorms.

Dew points and humidity

The dew point is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated with water vapour. In other words, it is the temperature that the air needs to be cooled to (at a constant pressure) to reach 100% relative humidity. The higher the dew point, the more moisture there is in the air, and the muggier it will feel. For example, a dew point of 65 degrees with a temperature of 80 degrees will feel much more humid than a dew point of 30 degrees with a temperature of 30 degrees, even though the relative humidity is lower in the former case.

Relative humidity, therefore, can be misleading. It is a measure of how much moisture is in the air relative to the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at that temperature. So, if the temperature is 80 degrees and the relative humidity is 50%, the dew point is 60 degrees. However, if the temperature is 30 degrees and the relative humidity is 100%, the dew point is also 30 degrees. This is why dew point is often considered a better indicator of how humid it will feel.

In general, dew points below 55 indicate dry and comfortable conditions, while dew points between 55 and 65 will start to feel sticky, with muggy evenings. Dew points of 65 and above mean there is a lot of moisture in the air, and it will feel increasingly oppressive.

For the next 10 days in Belize, the dew point is forecast to be around 78-79 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a high dew point, indicating that there will be a lot of moisture in the air. The average humidity is predicted to be between 79% and 97%, which is very high. This means that it will likely feel very muggy and uncomfortable, especially as the temperature is also expected to be high, ranging from 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit.

With such high humidity and dew points, it is important to stay hydrated and find ways to keep cool, as the human body relies on the evaporation of perspiration to cool down. In these conditions, perspiration may not evaporate effectively, leading to a build-up of sweat and increased discomfort.

Wind speed and direction

Over the next 10 days, wind speeds in Belize are predicted to vary between 4 and 20 mph. The wind will generally be coming from the east, with some sources stating that winds will be coming from the east northeast (ENE) and east southeast (ESE) at certain points over the next 10 days.

On the first day of the forecast, winds will be coming from the east at 10-15 mph. This will drop to 5-10 mph in the evening, still coming from the east. On the second day, winds will again be 10-15 mph from the east, and 10-20 mph from the east northeast. On the third day, winds will be 10-15 mph from the east northeast, and on the fourth day, they will be 10-20 mph from the north.

On the fifth day, winds will be 10-20 mph from the north northwest (NNW) and will shift to the west southwest (WSW). On the sixth day, winds will be 10-20 mph from the south southeast (SSE). On the seventh day, winds will be 10-15 mph from the east southeast. On the eighth day, winds will be 10-15 mph from the east. On the ninth day, winds will be 10-20 mph from the east southeast. On the tenth day, winds will be 10-20 mph from the east.

Overall, the wind speed and direction in Belize over the next 10 days are predicted to be fairly consistent, mostly coming from the east and ranging from moderate to strong speeds.

Cloud coverage

Today, skies will be partly cloudy with an 80% chance of storms. Tomorrow, clouds will be variable with thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon. The following day will be mostly cloudy with some showers after midnight.
