Continuous moderate to heavy rain showers and thunderstorms are expected across Guyana from today until Tuesday, the Hydrometeorological Service has advised.
In a special bulletin issued on Saturday, the Service said the forecasted conditions will likely lead to flooding in low lying areas and possible landslides over hilly areas. As a result, it advised that the public, including drivers and road users, take the necessary precautions against the expected conditions.
The Service explained that the conditions are due to a combination of the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and a low to mid-level trough that is anticipated to develop over Guyana by late Saturday evening into early Sunday and likely to remain until Tuesday.
