Population health is commonly defined as âthe health outcomes of a group of individuals including the distribution of outcomes within the group.â 1 Population health management looks to improve the over health of a given population.
The climate of Belize is characterized by two seasons: a rainy and a dry season. In Belize, most of the yearâs rainfall occurs during the period June to November, that is, the rainy season. It is noted from the graph below that the transition from dry to the rainy is very sharp. Mean annual rainfall across Belize ranges from 60 inches (1524mm) in the north to 160 inches (4064mm) in the south. Except for the southern regions, the rainfall is variable from year to year. Figure 1 shows the distribution of average monthly rainfall data for Belize.
One benefit of traveling to Belize during the low season is that it is less crowded. Historically, Belize's hurricanes have arrived in September and October. Belize is considered sub-tropical -- temperatures range from 50-95F degrees. November thru January are the coolest months, averaging about 75 degrees.
