Its been way way hot dry season from particularly from March - May here in Belize, even the older folk say hottest they remember in a while. Many areas suffering drought, with farmers in cayo and corazol losing livestock due to lack of water and grass for them. Also we've had lots of fires mostly pine ridge and Belize river valley areas, fires worse for all the debris from Hurr Richard still around in the unppopulated areas burning. One morning I woke to smoke everywhere couldn't get a fix on where fire was as smoke out on sea as well as North, South of us was told it wasn't even Belize generated, was from fires in Guatemala. Belize needs rain badly but not heavy storm, ground so dry water would just run off surface causing flooding. And the Kendal bridge is still no closer to completion so if heavy rains the Kendal river will flood and the South will be cut of from the North, not very reasuring for us in the South, as higher ground is inland in the North as a rule. So praying hard that this year no major storms come our way. But I will still prepare as every year packing my house down for the season, I used to do this in July ready for Sept/Oct but after last couple of years with storms coming so early inside Caribbean and close to Belize, now I start in June, so in event of heavy storm I don't have so much stuff to pack and store. Keep safe everyone this season
Welcome back to our thread. Let's see how this new hurricane season will be for you over there.
