The area of moisture that has been surrounding Belize since the beginning of the month is finally dissipating. The total rainfall for the month so far is 6.7 inches. This is more rain than all of November and December combined. The tropical wave responsible for the rain is moving away and we are now in a fresh SE air flow behind the wave.
