BELIZE SEASONS…
Belize weather is characterized by two seasons: a Rainy and a Dry season.
Belize Annual Rainfall…
Most of the year's rainfall occurs during the period June to November, which is referred to as the
Rainy Season. It should be noted that the transition from dry to the rainy is very sharp.
Belize annual rainfall ranges from 60 inches (1524mm) in the north to 160 inches (4064mm) in the south. Except
for the southern regions, the rainfall is variable from year to year.
The begining of the Rainy Season starts in early May in Toledo, (where the Belize annual rainfall is
highest) progressing north to the Stann Creek, Belize, Cayo and Orange Walk District in late May, followed by Corozal District
in early June. The mean temperature varies from 81°F/ 27°C along the coast to 69°F/21°C in the hills. The coldest month
is January.
The highest temperatures in Belize are experienced during the month of May. One should also consider
the Hurricane Season when making a decision as to when to travel to Belize.
