There is no specific rainy season and dry season in Belize. However, we have what’s called the high season and the low season. During high season, it’s sunny and during low season, it’s cooler.
 
Low season is usually around November to April and high season is from May to October. There’s not much of a difference except that during the low season, it’s cooler and it rains a bit more. The weather is pretty much the same for the entire country.
