You may assume that the high and low season of a tropical country like Belize only involves tourism. The low season may be “off-season” in your mind, but in Belize, there is another meaning to low season. This low season in Belize is considered the rainy season, while the high season is considered the dry season.

Weather in the Low Season

Though the low season is considered the rainy season to natives of Belize, there are minuscule differences in the weather. The low temperatures average at around 81 degrees during the low season, which is only about 10 points difference in the high season. The most rain that you will receive during the low season is on average around 1/4 of an inch as well! This means that the rainy, or low, season is not as depressing as you may think unless there is a chance of hurricanes or other tropical storms.

Timing of Low Season

If you are planning to take a vacation to Belize or are planning to move to Belize, you may want to know just when the rainy season is so you can prepare. Typically, the low season ranges during the summer and early fall months, from June to October. In most cases, if there is to be rain, it will occur during the nighttime hours or as a sporadic shower. The good thing is, however, the country seems much more chill during the low season than it does in the high season, as there are fewer tourists.

So, What Does More Chill Look Like?

As mentioned, during the low season, there are fewer tourists. Some businesses will also close during the low season so that they can take necessary breaks or so that they can make necessary repairs. You will find that you may have more space to yourself during this time, but you may see more construction during this time. There may be fewer options available to you for your shopping or food needs, but you have the opportunity to meet many more residents of the country during this season.

Preparations for Low Season

There is a chance that it will be more humid during the low season as rain is on the horizon. With this in mind, there may be a larger presence of bugs and insects around you, so be sure to use bug spray when possible. There will also be an increased amount of frogs, so do not be surprised if you see one hop in front of you. Overall, just prepare to enjoy the relaxation that comes with the low season when you visit Belize during the summer months!

Making Accommodations

If you are planning to take a vacation during the low season, do not let the chance of rain deter you away. As noted, the rain is not as bad as you may think and in many cases, your accommodations can be much more inexpensive during this season,. Many resorts and hotels offer discounts for what they call “local specials” across the country. You may run into more locals exploring other parts of their country during this time, but this is a great way for you to get to know the country and the culture that is offered.

Final Thoughts

Belize is a beautiful country to visit at any time of year, including during the low season. Be sure to take a chance and experience the relaxation that comes at this time of year in the country for yourself. You will fall in love with vacationing during these summer months of the rainy season in Belize.
