Belize Weather - Belize has a sub-tropical climate. Average humidity is 85% and most of it is on the coastlines and rainforests. The temperature in Belize  ranges from 60 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and the average is 79 degrees Fahrenheit. The western and interior regions in Belize are typically warmer than the eastern coastline because they do not get the ocean breees.

Belize is susceptible to two types of extreme weather conditions: northers and hurricanes. Northers is a name given to cold air masses that come from the northeast between June to November bring heavy rains along with cooler temperatures. The onset of the rainy season starts in the early May from the Southern regions which includes the regions of Toledo, Punta Gorda, Melinda progressing to the Northern regions such as Consejo and Tower Hill. Northers are a minor disturbance to the natives of Belize. Fishing and diving operations are temporarily disrupted but that is about the extent of it. Backpackers like the cooler and moist conditions brought on by the northers for hiking through the rainforests. The other more serious extreme weather conditions here are hurricanes which have been known to be quite devastating in Belize. The official hurricane season starts on June 1 each year.
