Guyana to experience above-normal temperatures until November

The Hydrometeorological Service yesterday warned that Guyana would be experiencing above-normal temperatures from September to November this year.

It said the forecast indicates an increased likelihood of higher-than-average temperatures, which could have widespread effects on public health, agriculture, and livestock.

It further noted that during the next four months, heat-related illnesses such as dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke become significant risks, especially for vulnerable groups like the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing health conditions.
