Belize is between a band of high cloud to the north and west and very dry air to the south east. There is a cold front that is currently moving off the coast of Texas and beginning to cross the Gulf of Mexico. The cold front is expected to be close to Belize by Wednesday night. Will follow the progress. The whole Caribbean is very dry.

There was no rain at all from the system mentioned in the last report. The system went north missing Belize completely. Late this afternoon some high cloud moved across Belize from the southwest. The Caribbean basin is very dry. According to the Caribbean Climate Change group (the CCCCC) the coming dry season may be very severe. There could be very little rainfall over the next 5 months. This is not good news. Here in Belize the 2014 rainfall is already well below normal. I may have to abandon plans for having any sort of productive garden.

Most of the moisture associated with the weak trough of low pressure east of Belize appears to be moving up to the northwest and bypassing Belize completely. The bottom end of the trough may sweep towards Belize in the morning producing some light rain but I expect no more than an few mm, not enough to bring relief from the very dry conditions.

The weather here in Belmopan has been sunny and cool since my last report. It has been very dry. Rainfall is well below normal. Plants in my garden are already suffering due to lack of rain. There is a weak trough creeping slowly westward towards Belize. It is surrounded by very dry air. Will see how this looks in the morning.

Light rain is falling right now as a low level weather system moves westward towards Belize. The problem is that this system is fighting a very strong upper level wind shear shooting across Belize from west to east. This could limit the amount of rainfall from this system. The red colour indicates that there is very little convection in this this system.
