The Civil Defence Commission (CDC) has reported that floodwater in Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo) is receding while also urging persons to take precautions against further flooding since a tropical wave is expected to sweep across the country over the next five days.
The Hydrometeorological Office indicated that the tropical wave is forecast to hit the coastland, and Regions Seven (Cuyuni – Mazaruni) and 10 (Upper Demerara – Upper Berbice).
In an update, the Hydromet Office said that there has been a reduction in rainfall over the last 48 hours and a mass of dry air is currently suppressing rainfall activity with the current Tropical Wave. While rainfall is being suppressed, cloudy conditions may persist into today.
