December – May 

Belize’s drier season is unsurprisingly also its most popular, and December to January in particular can be exceptionally busy, with many accommodations requiring early booking. The shoulder months of November and May/June can still experience some tropical rains, but they are also excellent times to visit as the areas are less busy. The coolest months are usually between December and February. 

June - November 

This period is the rainy season and, whilst by no means certain, there are also threats of hurricanes hitting the area during this time, so we would advise on travelling during the drier months. Rainfall can vary according to where you are located, and the north experiences up to three times less than the south. September and October are the months that usually have the heaviest rainfall. 

As many visitors to Belize will also be looking to explore the fascinating marine life of the world’s second largest barrier reef system, visitors may also want to bear in mind that visibility is generally better between April and June, towards the end of the dry season and the beginning of the rainy season, so planning a visit during these months is recommended for dive enthusiasts.
