Belize:

Belize has a hot humid climate. The coastal areas are usually the hottest, and during the rainy season, the humidity can be quite unbearable. The mountain portions are cool at night, and pleasant during the days. Out on the cayes, the days are hot, but the sea breezes help to temper the heat. At night those breezes make for comfortable temperatures. The best time to visit is during the months of Dec.-April. This is the 'dry' season, and there is less chance of bad weather.
