With summer drawing to a close, it’s time to start thinking about the holidays. And for Belizeans living away from the Jewel, that brings back thoughts of family, old friends, the old places and all the things we used to do during the holidays.

High on the list of Belize’s many charms is a very comfortable tropical climate with an average yearly temperature of 84° F (29°C). Costal sea breezes and Belize’s large tracts of jungle and rainforests provide cooling relief even in the hottest summer months while winters can be cool but never very cold. In short, the climate is pretty much near perfect.
