Tropical Cyclone to Produce Rainfall Over Belize

The National Meteorological Service issued a small craft warning in the wake of the passage of Hurricane Beryl across the Yucatan Peninsula. Chief Meteorologist Ronald Gordon also spoke about a tropical cyclone that will likely produce rainfall over the country this weekend.

“We do maintain a small craft caution because winds will become gusty especially after persons operate small vessels, we advise them to be very cautious. We are open, it is all clear, but certainly we need to take heed and to ensure we take precautions against anything out there. In terms of the weather conditions, we expect continued showers as I said before. There is another tropical wave coming in behind Beryl that we were monitoring previously. That system no longer has a chance of becoming a tropical cyclone, but certainly it will produce some more rains over the weekend. We are not out of the rainy season so expect more rains and we will keep monitoring and operating. And of course, as you all know we forecasted and expect a very busy Atlantic basin season so certainly it is possible that we may see another threat before the season is over. We take lessons learnt from this system to ensure we are better prepared in every way possible.”
