The Hydrometeorological Services Department of the Ministry of Agriculture has been boosted with the addition of 21 Automatic Weather Stations (AWSs), according to the Ministry of the Presi-dency, which says that citizens are expected to receive more accurate and timely weather reports as a result.
The announcement came on Thursday amid concerns that citizens have not been provided with any information on recent bouts of violent weather that have caused damage and left residents traumatised in various parts of the country.
It also came on the same day that Stabroek News reported that the Doppler Radar system, which is meant to deliver weather reports and warnings about severe weather, is down.
