Hydromet office predicts wetter than usual November to January

There will be more rain than usual over the next three months. The Hydrometeorological Service of the Ministry of Agriculture put out a release yesterday forecasting wetter than usual conditions across all regions of Guyana for the months of November 2022 to January 2023.

It explained that the usual secondary rainfall season will be augmented by “persistent” La Nina conditions during the season with rainfall expected to increase considerably from mid-November and continue at least to January, 2023.

The Hydromet Office cautioned that during the upcoming rainy season, water levels in conservancies, reservoirs, and inland rivers across regions One to Eight and Ten are likely to increase with a high risk of flooding. On the other hand, it stated that Region Nine would continue to be dry, but could expect more than the usual amount of rain days.
