Caye Caulker climate
Warmth and marine weather are part of every season
The marine reserve plan describes average temperatures near 28°C, roughly 1,500 millimeters of annual rainfall, dry-season conditions around February or March through May or June, and hurricane season from June through November.
The warm climate may be appealing, but the home must carry heat, humidity, ventilation, rain, corrosion, storms, and power interruptions. Outdoor plans need flexible timing and a safe indoor alternative.
