THE Weather Watch Center of the Ministry of Agriculture has predicted continuous rain for the next four days as an upper level trough and the sub-tropical jet affects Guyana.

Weather conditions are likely to deteriorate as the Jet entrance migrates over Guyana from time to time. A special bulletin from the Ministry noted that as the Hydrometeorological Service has been forecasting for the last 4 days, all Regions are likely to experience cloudy to overcast skies.

Regions 1 to 6 can expect these conditions to be accompanied by predominantly light to

moderate continuous rain and showers; however downpours may become heavy at times. Precipitation is expected to be less intense over all other locations. Twenty-four hours accumulated rainfall amounts are expected to be between 40 mm and 80 mm on Wednesday and Friday and in excess of 100 mm is likely on Thursday. The highest rainfall is expected to occur over Regions 2 to 5.

Possible effects of Weather: recent and forecasted weather conditions coupled with the high tides, may cause water accumulation/flooding in poorly drained, low lying and riverine areas.
