). 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

, 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
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
