The Cayo District has the same weather pattern as the rest of the country of Belize. I guess this is because Belize has a small geographic area. In the rainy season, we can get up to 8 inches of rain in a day. The wet season if usually from August to October and our dry season is from February to July. It doesn’t rain all day during the wet season. We get a downpour at random times of the day but we can also get sunshine on the same day. The meteorology center tries to predict...The Cayo District has the same weather pattern as the rest of the country of Belize. I guess this is because Belize has a small geographic area.

The meteorology center tries to predict the weather but the weather has its own agenda! So you couldn’t rely on the weather updates sometimes. How you would be affected by the rains depends on the type of activities that you are doing. There are lots of activities that you can do in San Ignacio but some places have remote roads or have dirt and muddy roads so if you are going to places that have these kind of roads, you wouldn’t want to go if it is raining because there is a possibility that you will get stuck. There are some places in San Ignacio that are perfectly fine to drive up to even if it’s raining. There are also places that are covered from the rain such as the cultural houses and other similar attractions.
