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).

In short, the climate is pretty much near perfect.

Even in winter the temperature in Belize rarely falls below 60°F (16°C), while throughout summer the mercury sits at around 86°F (30°C). Humidity is also fairly consistent at around 85 percent.
