When to go
When Belize is driest (April) and when it is not
Rain is the first filter. At San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize, the driest months are April at 1.4 in, March at 1.6 in, February at 2.0 in; the wettest are October (9.4 in) and June (8.7 in). The year totals about 62.2 inches.
Highs stay between 80 and 88°F all year, so temperature rarely decides it. The months that pair a 72–90°F high with under 3 inches of rain are February, March and April.
Hurricane season runs June through November here; Belize's wettest peak-season month is October at 9.4 in. Season dates and how Ann handles them: /how-we-source-data.
