Since my last report there has been an increase in the level of moisture affecting Belize. For the past 9 days there has been frequent but mostly brief rain showers. However today the shower activity has been more intense. A series of thunder showers moved in from the Gulf of Honduras with Belmopan being on the northern edge of this band of showers. Rainfall for today was 12 mm or 1/2 inch. Since July 13, the total rainfall has been almost 70 mm. The ground is now pretty much saturated.
