When to go to Belize
Belize’s dry season runs from January through to May and the rainy season lasts from June to early December. However as a tropical country it can rain here at any time and this usually comes in a short (very sharp) downpour interspersed with plenty of sunshine. The only time of year that we don’t recommend a visit is from September to October when the rain can be very heavy and persistent.

This is the beginning of the dry season so the rain will decrease as the month progresses. There should be lots of sunshine so this is a great time to visit. It is not too hot and there is usually a cooling breeze.
