Belize’s comfortable, tropical climate is a result of its costal sea breezes and large areas of jungles and rainforests. Due to its consistent year round temperatures, Belize only has two seasons — wet and dry seasons. Both seasons have its pros and cons but given the overall mild nature of Belize’s climate, explorers can enjoy the country year round.
Internet service is widely available throughout Belize.
