The best time to visit Belize is from late November to mid-April, during the country’s dry season.  Although this peak season draws thousands of tourists, dealing with crowds is an easy sacrifice to make for warm temperatures, clear skies and easy access to the country’s top attractions.

Temperatures in Belize range from 50°F to 95°F with an annual mean of 79°F.  November to January are traditionally the coolest months with a 75°F average and May to September are the warmest at about a 81°F average.

The rainy season runs from June to November when annual Belize rainfall is highest. The early months of May and June when rainfall is just getting underway, are a good time to travel to Belize as you can you can escape the tourist rush and hotel rates tend to be lower.

Belize does have a hurricane season, and while statistically Belize does not attract many major direct hits, it does get its share of severe tropical weather with high winds and rain.  Belize does have in place a proven and effective evacuation procedure.
