May falls within Belize’s dry season, typically characterized by warmer temperatures and lower humidity. This period offers sunshine and comfortable conditions, creating a favorable climate for outdoor activities. While rainfall is less frequent than in the wet season, occasional showers can still occur.
The predictable weather patterns of May make it an advantageous time to visit Belize. The reduced rainfall allows for greater accessibility to rainforests, Mayan ruins, and cave systems. The calmer seas provide ideal conditions for snorkeling, diving, and exploring the Belize Barrier Reef. Historically, this period has been popular for tourism due to the favorable weather and its position before the onset of the Atlantic hurricane season.
