Question

from cancun we are travelling thru belize and guatemala for 3 weeks in july.

is this a really bad idea?

anybody know what the weathers like? humid/rainy/boiling hot? is it possible to tan-nage.....?

Answer 1

As far as Cancun is concerened, this is considered hurricane season. However, major storms do not hit that much in July, they mostly strike in September and October. The daytime temps will be quite hot and humid, so as far as tanning is concerned, it really depends on how much you like the heat. What I will recommend is that you not worry too much about hurricanes, but just plan on drinking plenty of fluids during the day. I highly recommend an energy drink mix you can take with you known as Emergen 'C, very good to replenish electolytes (sp).

Have fun planning your vacation,

Sounds like a great trip and a great idea!

Number one bring some very good mosquito repellent with you (DEET). Because it never gets cold here we always have those pesky critters and while traveling through any jungle area you will need to keep yourself protected.

The weather...well Mother Nature always has her way but historically July is hot and humid. If it does rain it doesn't last for long...just long enough to keep the humidity high.

Because we are so close to the Equator if it isn't raining you can always tan.

Have a great vacation!

Belize will be in the high 80's and very warm and cloudy days, you will get some rain showers and thunderstorms. Here is a link to previous weather history, the last 10 +years for mid July for Belize

Cancun will be hot 90's but a bit dryer. Here is a link for past weather for Cancun

It's the tropics, hopefully some rain will cool things down.

Good Luck and have fun.)
