The beginning of June marked the start of the rainy season and now, nearly three weeks into the month, the rains are finally here. Earlier today, the City Emergency Management Organization, released a notice informing the public to remain cautious as Belize is under strong thunderstorm watch. The notice warns Belizeans that six to eight inches of heavy rainfall is expected in some areas, while up to ten inches is anticipated in others. Consequently, low-lying and flood prone areas are predicted to flood. People living in those communities are advised to remain vigilant and stay updated with alerts from NEMO, CEMO and the National Meteorological Service.
