Ambergris Caye in July
Not the best time
Peak wet season misery with crushing heat and daily storms. Only for budget travelers who can handle tropical punishment in exchange for rock-bottom prices.
Weather
July continues the hot and wet pattern with intense afternoon thunderstorms. Humidity stays uncomfortably high and the heat index often exceeds actual temperatures. Mornings can be deceptively pleasant before the afternoon sauna kicks in.

All Months
The dry season from November through April offers the most reliable weather. Temperatures hover in the low 80s with trade winds keeping things comfortable. This is peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds, especially around Christmas and Easter.
May through October brings more rain and humidity, but also better deals and fewer tourists. The rain usually comes in short afternoon bursts rather than all-day downpours. Hurricane season runs June through November, though direct hits are rare.
Diving conditions stay excellent year-round with water temperatures between 78-84°F. Visibility can actually improve during the wet season when fewer boats stir up the bottom.
Here's insider knowledge: January through March offers the best balance of weather, prices, and crowd levels. The Christmas rush has ended but the weather stays dry and pleasant.
