Belize Climate and Current Weather

There is a dry season and a rainy season each year in Belize. The dry season is when most tourists visit the country: from December through May. The rainy season lasts from June through November. Depending on the elevation the levels of annual rainfall can vary enormously from area to area.

For example, in the Corozal District in the northern part of Belize, the average rainfall is about 50 inches per year.  If you go south to Belize City, the average is up to 79 inches. If you go further south and a little east, to Punta Gorda, rain falls at the rate of177 inches a year. In all regions, though less so in the mountainous areas, humidity is high. Conditions are moist and tropical. Belize City is warm all year round, with average temperatures at a pleasant 72 degrees in the dry season and up to 88 degrees in the rainy season.
