Tropical Storm watch for Belize's Coast!

It is raining! A lot. After a couple months of dry dusty and hot weather, San Pedranos are now gearing up for some cool rainy days. A Tropical Storm watch for the entire coast of Belize was announced today, Saturday May 31st, 2008. June 1st is the official start of Hurricane Season, so both Tropical Storms Alma and Arthur were a bit early!

Everything is wet and gray. Dive shops are closed.
It is definitely time to break out the ponchos and umbrellas.
TS Arthur is currently (4:45pm) dumping quite a bit of rain - a constant drizzle, with occasional bursts of hard showers, and sudden gusts of wind.
The predicted forecast is for more rain through the night.
Some children decided that playing under the rain and in the sea was much more fun than staying indoors!
