Belize Weather

For many visitors, the weather in Belize comes as a bit of a shock as the climate is much different than you'll find in Canada or the United States. Instead of four seasons, Belize has just two, and they're both warm with abundant sunshine and ample humidity. 

There is no winter in Belize, which is a prime attraction for many visitors, but there's also no true "summer" with scorching hot temperatures. Instead, Belize has a "dry" season that runs from late November to May and a "green" season that runs from June until early November. Regardless of the season, the daytime temperature in Belize is usually in the low to upper 80s Fahrenheit (28-33 Celsius) and humidity levels around 85%. 

Starting in late November, the skies become very sunny and little rain falls. Temperatures are warm (80F/27C), and breezes keep the air feeling cool and refreshing. By February, Belize experiences its driest period with only occasional, short rain showers, and it only rains one day in three in March. 

Beginning in May, the "green" season begins with frequent rain, although most showers occur overnight or during the hottest part of the afternoon. The wettest month is September, but even then, it only rains around half of the days in the month.
