Guyana stands a fifty percent chance of being hit by a tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean within the next 48 hours, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said last evening on its website.
Chief Hydromet Officer Bhaleka Seulall says that her office is monitoring a potent tropical wave, which has a thirty percent chance of turning into a cyclone. She said that most models are projecting that as the tropical wave moves towards Guyana it will weaken. Consequently, there may be thunder, lightning and periods of heavy rainfall during the next 36 to 48 hours, Seulall said.
