Belize lives up to its reputation as a tropical paradise. Known for its ancient Maya ruins, its coral reef, and its white sandy beaches, the small Central American country deserves a slot on any traveler’s bucket list, but the destination is far more than just a hot spot for tourists. It also offers a world of opportunities for retirees and investors. Besides, the weather is warm all year long, and the local love newcomers.

Weather

Belize has only two seasons – wet and dry. Wet season runs June through December, but the months of June and July see the most rain. Rain falls mostly in the mornings and evenings, leaving the mid-day for outdoor activities. The dry season, falling between February and May usually sees only mild showers. Temperatures are usually colder from November to January but still average around 75°F (24°C). It’s also a little cooler in the mountains than the coastal areas, but the mean temperature is still around 72°F (22°C), making Belize a year-round paradise.
