Guyana's Equatorial Climate: Rainfall Patterns and Weather Events
The equatorial climate in Guyana is characterized by seasonal rainfall, high humidity, and minimal temperature fluctuations. The region experiences two rainy seasons and two dry seasons throughout the year. In 2008, events like the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and La Niña led to intense rainfall and flooding in various areas of Guyana. The comparison of normals and total accumulated rainfall from selected stations shows the variability in rainfall distribution across the country. Specific data is provided for months like February and March 2008, highlighting the impact of these rainfalls on different regions like Berbice. Overall, the climate in Guyana exhibits equatorial characteristics with distinct wet and dry periods affecting the country's weather patterns and ecosystems.
