Belize

The ThinkHazard database classifies Belize's extreme heat hazard as high, meaning prolonged exposure to dangerous temperatures is expected at least once in the next five years. Heat affects a variety of sectors—including health, energy, transport and agriculture—and disproportionately impacts urban populations and outdoor workers. In 2024 temperatures above 100 °F triggered forest fires, prompting the Belize Red Cross to provide hygiene kits and cash assistance.
