Weather extremes

How extreme does Belize City's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Belize City has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 33 years of daily weather observations (1992–present), from the Philip S W Goldson Intl station 13 km away. Updated through August 2025 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.

The four kinds of extreme

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Belize City has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
102°F Feb 20, 2000

That is about 17°F hotter than a normal February afternoon in Belize City (typical high near 84°F).

How hot and cold it gets, month by month

The shaded band is the normal range of daily temperatures for each month. The dots show the most extreme it has ever been — so you can see how far beyond a normal day the records really sit.

Belize City's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — February's 102°F is about 17°F beyond a normal hot afternoon. Its record cold is just as far below a normal winter night — the dots mark how rare each extreme really is.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Belize City's warmest days reach the low 90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the high 60s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 102°F and as low as 40°F. A single day has delivered over 16 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
Methodology & sources

Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 26 years of daily observations at Philip S W Goldson Intl, a weather station, about 13 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
