Weather Forecast; cloudy night and sunny day
Our friends at BelCaribe won’t provide the usual weather report today, but according to the twenty-four hour forecast from the Belize Weather Bureau, there were cloudy spells this afternoon and we can expect partly cloudy skies tonight and on Thursday morning. The sunny weather continues on Thursday with cloudy periods throughout the day. A few thunderstorms will occur mainly in the south while other areas may experience isolated showers. In the three day forecast more isolated showers are being predicted for Thursday and Friday, with little or no rainfall expected on Saturday. Generally fair weather will prevail for the remainder of the week with highs of eighty-degrees Fahrenheit on the coast, ninety three degrees inland and seventy-eight degrees in the hills. Lows will be around seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit on the coast, seventy-two degrees inland and sixty-six degrees in the hills.
With the NEW DOPPLER RADAR……… YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL… EXACTLY WHERE… AND…. exactly WHEN….. IT WILL RAIN IN THE SOUTH, AND not just generalizations.
Earl…the weather forecast has not changed in 20 years…the met service does have brand new equipment but the forecast is always the same. It always says and i quote “SUNNY WITH A FEW CLOUDY SPELLS THIS AFTERNOON AND TOMORROW; PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT. ISOLATED SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR MAINLY OVER INLAND AREAS” The new technology is in but i guess they are afraid to make use of it.
Earl and Oscar, I suggest you do some research before posting nonsence. A weather radar does not tell you exaclty where or when its going to rain anywhere one to two days in advance. If you want that kind of forecast, go see a psychic. The radar can tell you if a severe thunderstorm is forming and where it is heading about 3-4 hrs in advance. For extended forecast like 2-3 days lead time, meteorologist use Numerical Weather Models. These are of couse only guidance and only give you an estimate. If meteorologist could forecast the way people would like them to, I think they would probably not be working as each and everyone of them would have retired after predicting what numbers would play in the lotto every day and becoming millionaires.
