Flood warnings in effect in flood-prone areas

FLOOD warnings were issued yesterday by the National Weather Watch Centre as the current spring tides are expected to be heightened by developing weather patterns near Guyana’s coastal belt. 

Based on recent observations, the weather centre reported some amount of activity in the atmosphere where warm and cold air masses meet. The developing system is expected to move north westwards to westwards which will affect Guyana’s coastal belt.
Similarly, the probability of strong gusts of wind remains high along with heavy downbursts of rainfall as cloud cover increases with a likelihood of frequent showers and scattered thunderstorms.
The weather watch urges an expected spring tide above normal at 2.79 meters, with rainfall that may exceed 60.0 millimetres in Regions 1 (Barima-Waini) and 2 (Pomeroon-Supenaam), and over other coastal areas at 10.0mm to 45.0mm.
This weather advisory is for the next 12 hours, beginning at 2:30pm yesterday.
