June is the first month of the hurricane season in  the Caribbean. In Belize it also marks the beginning of the rainy season.

During the first ten day period, a fresh southeasterly  air flow kept conditions pretty much dry. On the ninth, however, several stations experienced shower activity, with a few in the south recording over an inch of rainfall. Pomona recorded 0.9 of an inch; Melinda, 0.97; Savannah, 1.4 inches; Big Falls, 1.02 inches; and Punta Gorda Agricultural Station (PGA) 2.9 inches. This was merely a result of sea breeze convergence.

Two tropical waves affected the country during the second ten day period. The first wave arrived on the tail of an upper level trough in the Gulf of Mexico. The latter supported showers over the north of the country where, on the twelfth day Libertad recorded 3.3 inches of rainfall. The tropical wave crossed the country on the thirteenth producing rainfall that ranged from 0.03 of an inch at Pomona to 3.1 inches at Chaa creek. The second tropical wave crossed the country on the sixteenth, but, only produced rainfall that ranged from 0.03 of an inch at Big Falls to 0.07of an inch at Middle Sex. Most stations received no rainfall at all.

The third ten day period was the most significant of the three.  A strong tropical wave deteriorated to a depression on the twenty-fifth, about three hundred and nineteen miles southeast of Belize City and reached tropical storm conditions the following morning. The storm made land fall on the twenty-sixth, just after 6:00 pm, just northeast of Belize City, with highest gusts recorded at the airport being thirty knots . 

As a strong tropical wave and pushing moisture ahead of it, the country experienced showers on the twenty-fourth, with amounts ranging from 0.09 of an inch at the airport, to 0.85 of an inch at the PGA. As a depression on the twenty-fifth, it produced rainfall amounts ranging from 0.3 of an inch at Libertad to 2.8 inches at Melinda. As a tropical storm on the twenty-sixth, rainfall amounts ranged from 0.7 of an inch at Libertad to 7.3 inches at Barton Creek. All stations experienced shower activity. Rainfall decreased significantly on the twenty-seventh as Tropical Storm Alex moved over Yucatan.

After analyzing the weather patterns of June 2010, it is clear that they did not produced rainfall amounts normal for June. Except for Rio Bravo, Central Farm, Barton Creek and Chaa Creek, all above the norm,  a result of Alex, all other stations were below. Temperatures were within the expected ranges.
