Heavy Rains and Cold Front Approach Belize

Moist and unstable conditions continue to affect Belize as a strong cold front approaches the region, bringing cloudy skies, thunderstorms, and periods of heavy rainfall across much of the country.

According to the National Meteorological Service, the next 24 hours will see mostly cloudy to overcast skies, with showers and thunderstorms expected to intensify later today and into tonight, particularly over southern, coastal, and offshore areas.

An excessive rainfall warning is in effect over southern districts and offshore areas, with 2 to 4 inches of additional rain expected around the country. Residents, especially those in flood-prone areas, are urged to monitor the weather closely and stay tuned to official updates. 

Despite the wet conditions, the tropical weather outlook remains calm. No cyclone formation is expected in the region over the next few days, and Belize’s coastal waters are not under threat.

Looking ahead to Tuesday, forecasters predict cool and windy conditions following the cold front’s passage, with light rain or isolated showers continuing.
