Band of thunder showers moving across central Belize including Belmopan area. Last night the Belmopan area received almost 40 mm of rain and the rain right now is going to add to this. Will report again later today.

The western Caribbean is very low in water vapour at the moment. Belize is dry. Rainfall for July was well below normal at only 182 mm and so far in August only 10 mm. There is a tropical wave forming in the far eastern Caribbean which I will be following over the next few days.
