The climate of Belize City (Belize)
Belize City is located on the mouth of the river Belize on the
Caribbean coast. The city saw considerable expansion in the 17th
century when British lumber jacks came to live here. The small Maya
village grew into an important port for the export of tropical
hardwood. Because of its situation on the coast the city was severely
damaged by a hurricane twice. The last time this occurred the city was
almost completely destroyed and had to be rebuilt. Belize City has a
tropical monsoon climate. This type of climate is characterized by
long periods of rain. The rainy season is from June till December.
Most of the rain falls in September, October and November.
Temperatures in Belize City are constant all year round. During the
warm summer months temperatures are moderated by the wind which makes
it feel less muggy.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
