Traveller notes on Caye Caulker in March

Caye Caulker's forum calls March part of the driest, most reliable stretch of the year — regulars note forecasts often show rain that doesn't fully materialise, with actual showers usually brief rather than washing out the day. Wind stays moderate too, generally 10-12 mph, before picking up into stronger gusts from April onward.
