By Horace Palacio: Belize is set to close out 2024 under a light northeasterly airflow, with largely sunny skies and isolated showers during the day, according to the Belize Meteorological Service. However, an increase in showers, isolated thunderstorms, and periods of rain are anticipated late tonight and into New Year’s Day.

Today’s conditions will remain calm, with sunny skies interspersed with occasional cloudy spells. By evening, skies will become partly cloudy to cloudy, with rainfall activity increasing significantly overnight and spreading across most regions by morning.

The marine forecast indicates favorable conditions for coastal activities, with light east-northeast winds at 5-10 knots and slight seas. Wave heights are expected to remain between 1 to 3 feet.

Temperatures will vary across the country. Coastal areas will see daytime highs of 84°F (29°C) and lows of 75°F (24°C). Inland regions are forecasted to peak at 87°F (31°C) during the day, dropping to 72°F (22°C) overnight. The hilly regions will be cooler, with highs of 78°F (26°C) and lows dipping to 66°F (17°C).

Looking ahead to New Year’s Day, cloudy skies are forecast, with outbreaks of showers, periods of rain, and isolated thunderstorms affecting most areas. Rainfall is expected to persist throughout the day and into the night.

Tidal data for today includes a high tide at 11:05 AM and a low tide at 3:47 PM, with another high tide at 10:04 PM. Tomorrow’s early low tide is scheduled for 5:34 AM. Sunrise occurred at 6:22 AM, with sunset set for 5:29 PM. The moon rose at 7:08 AM and will set at 6:20 PM.

Forecaster Catherine Cumberbatch advised residents and visitors to prepare for increased rainfall later tonight and on New Year’s Day, which could impact outdoor celebrations and activities. Monitoring updates is recommended as conditions evolve.
