). Belize is facing frequent and intense weather events, including hurricanes, flooding and droughts 2 (CCKP, 2021). The impacts of these already place significant economic and social pressures on the nation, a trend that can be expected to continue in the future. Therefore, effective meteorological

Douglas (08E) 20-29 July 954 mb, 115 knots Track forecast errors were very low for this hurricane, particularly at shorter lead times. For example, 3- and 4-day errors were less than half of the 5-year running mean

, primarily as a result of ocean warming and melting of land-based ice. Even this relatively modest rise has been linked to substantial increases in coastal flood risk. For example, one study looking at the severe flooding in New York caused by Hurricane Sandy found that recent sea level rise had made
weather pattern with easterly winds from the continent warming the sea surface. What impacts will stem from elevated Atlantic sea-surface temperatures? The eastern tropical Atlantic is the principal spawning ground for North Atlantic hurricanes. Meteorological records show that during periods influenced
