What is Visiting Belize in its Rainy Season Actually Like?
For the most part, the rainy season in Belize is characterized by a dependable and short-lived afternoon shower. But what’s that really like while you’re on vacation? Well, the amount of rainfall varies considerably in Belize based on your location. In the south, there may be more than 150 inches of rain per year, while in the north, it rarely rains more than 50 inches per year. However, if you do come, you should be able to land some good bargains for summer savings which might be reason enough.
Are there really only 2 seasons in Belize?
Yes. In Belize, there are just two defined seasons: the rainy, and the dry. The dry season spans from December 1 to May 31, while the rainy season is June 1 to November 30. But, you’ve got to remember that you are in the tropics. It may rain during the dry season, and can be dry during the rainy season. That said, the highest risk for hurricanes and tropical storms in Belize is in September and October. After all, Belize’s rainy season coincides with the Atlantic Hurricane Season. Although, thankfully, Belize has lucked out to be hit less frequently than neighboring Caribbean islands and even Florida, thanks to its geographical position. However, no man controls nature. Although it is already recommended to do so during the pandemic, invest in travel insurance for protection against any possible trip disruptions.
What can I do during Belize’s (rainy) summer?
