Jan 30, 2012 News

 

 

The Hydrometeorological Service as at 08:00hrs on January 29, 2012 received reports from a number of its rainfall stations across the country. These reports gave the total accumulated rainfall between 8:00 hrs Saturday January 28 and 8:00 hrs Sunday January 29 2012.  Data collected so far indicated that many stations along the coast and near Inland locations exceeded 100mm in 24 hours. The highest recorded rainfall was 172.6 mm which was reported at New Amsterdam in Region 6. Other values exceeding the 100 mm are as follows: 152.3 mm was reported at Friendship Buxton, 125.4 mm at Enterprise, both in Region 4; 138.4 mm at Pine Ground, 116.2 mm at Wash Clothes, 100.0 mm at Bara Bara, 152 mm at Bush Lot and 106.0 at Foulis  and 136.6mm at D’ Edward Village, all in Region 5.
The Eastern regions in Guyana are the ones that have received the highest rainfall during the last 24 hrs.
Note as well in Jan 2012  a number of locations already recorded above the long term average for Jan 2012.
OUTLOOK
During the next 48 hrs current conditions will be sustained with light to moderate intermittent rainfall. Occasional heavy downpours are likely during the period as well. Rainfall quantities are likely to exceed 60 millimeters in 48 hours.
The La Nina phenomenon still persists and is expected to do so until the end of the first quarter of 2012. Therefore, downpours may occur from time to time during Feb and March 2012  as this mild La Nina continues to influence our weather pattern.
Residents in low lying and flood prone areas are asked to take the necessary precautions against possible flooding.
