Hurricane Season Continues; Cold Front Coming End of the Week

Meanwhile, the first cold front heading into the Christmas season will cross over Belize as early as this coming Friday, but Gordon warns us to not let down our guard in remaining alert for hurricanes at this time of year.

“Late October or sometimes early November, we typically see systems forming over the Western Caribbean Sea in particular, which is in our backyard,  so people should be on their alert. Typically also, what we see happen is that tropical systems can form from the tail end of these cold fronts. So because a front crosses us, it does not mean that the season is over. On the contrary, like I mentioned, you can have systems developing on the tail end of these fronts and given the pattern behind these fronts, the high pressure ridge would tend to steer more on a westward track. So, we’re not out of the woods yet.”

The hurricane season closes officially on November thirtieth.
