Belize City weather in April

April is dry on Caye Caulker - our row's 39.2mm across 8.8 days is the tail of the dry season, with the wet season not starting until June and even then falling mostly overnight - and it is the end of the busy January-to-April stretch. Two things regulars want you to know. April, May and June are the months most likely to bring gusts over 20 mph, against an average nearer 10 to 12. And sargassum, which starts arriving in small irregular amounts in late February, peaks from April through June; how much lands depends almost entirely on the strength and direction of the wind, which is why a north wind in winter blows it back out to sea and the spring pattern does not. The record: 30.3C days that feel like 36C, 25.4C nights, 11.6 hours of sun and a 28C sea.

Forum posters cite typical August daily highs around 31C (88-90F) with overnight lows near 24C, and describe rain this time of year as most often falling overnight, leaving days sunny and clear more often than not - it seldom rains every day or all day unless a tropical low pressure system moves through. Posters specifically flag mid-August as home to Belize's well-known 'little dry season,' roughly a two-week stretch of notably reduced rainfall within the broader wet season. Posters are consistent that hurricane risk in August itself is low, citing historical records showing only a handful of hurricanes have affected Belize before September in the past century. Posters generally rate August as hot, humid and typically sunny by day for Belize City, with rain concentrated overnight and hurricane risk still modest this early in the season.

Forum posters describe February as more dry than wet, with rain, when it happens, typically falling overnight and leaving fine, sunny days behind - a daily maximum around 28C and overnight lows near 20C are typical, with most days seeing clear, sunny skies. Posters describe humidity as still noticeable, especially right after arrival, but consider February's lower temperatures the key factor that makes that humidity feel bearable rather than oppressive. Posters flag real week-to-week variability from passing cold fronts, which can drop temperatures by a few degrees, though rainfall stays consistently lower than January and isn't something to plan around. Posters generally name February through April as Belize's driest stretch of the year, with February specifically rated as an excellent time to visit.
