Is it safe to travel to Belize?
No state advises against travel to Belize, and no alert is open right now. Little was recorded over the last 12 months: eight events in all, three of them severe. That is a thin record, so read it as such. Storms and flooding are the hazards that follow a season here — two thunderstorm episodes, both severe, and one severe flood. Four conflict-type records also appear. They are rare in the count, but they carry the highest stakes for people, so they rank above the weather. One travel advisory record was logged. August held the most events of any month, three, all hazards combined, then March with two. Homicides sit at 28.1 per 100,000 people, against a world median of 2.1. That number covers homicides only and says nothing about theft or scams. The data does not say where any of this happened, so nothing here points to one part of the country.
What it changes for a nomad
For a stay of several weeks, the season is the part you can plan around. Storms and flooding are the two hazards with a real cycle here, and a wet stretch is what shapes your days: power cuts, water on the roads, a lost afternoon of work. August held the most events of any month over the last 12 months, three across all hazards, which is worth knowing before you book a long stay — though eight events in a year is a thin basis for any pattern. The rest of the record is too sparse to plan on. On day-to-day security you have one hard number, 28.1 homicides per 100,000 against a world median of 2.1, and no official advisory to set beside it. So the part you control is your own routine: where you walk after dark, how you carry a laptop, how you get home. Keep a backup connection and some cash for storm days.

August 21, 2026
Belize records conflict-related events as the main concern, with a homicide rate of 28.1 per 100k against a world median of 2.1. Over the last 12 months, four conflict events were recorded, though none were classified as severe. Thunderstorms and flooding are seasonal natural hazards that both occurred with severity during the window. August saw the most activity overall, while quieter months include January, February, and April. No official travel advisories are in effect.
To watch as a rule
- Storms and flooding, the two hazards that really have a season here.
- Roads cut or under water after heavy rain, and the power going with them.
- Day-to-day personal security, with homicides at 28.1 per 100,000 against a world median of 2.1.
- The thinness of the record itself: eight events over the last 12 months means gaps, not proof of calm.
Good reflexes
- Check the forecast the night before any trip between towns, and move the trip if storms are due.
- Keep a power bank charged, water at home and offline maps on your phone during heavy rain.
- Carry your laptop in a plain bag and keep it out of sight on the street.
- Send a short check-in message to someone when you go out at night and when you get back.
- Save your address and a local taxi number offline, so you never have to ask a stranger.
