Climate

Climate affects sectors in society in a number of ways. These effects may be direct, as with heat stress, or indirect, as with infectious diseases such as malaria and meningitis.

This facility aims to explore and inform users about the climate-society relationship with an emphasis on the seasonal nature of that relationship, where appropriate.

Climate Analysis
The Maproom explores historical daily precipitation by calculating simple seasonal statistics.
The Maproom explores historical daily temperature by calculating simple seasonal statistics.
Rainfall and temperature time series reconstructed from station observations and remote sensing proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum, minimum and mean temperature dekadal climatologies and anomalies. The climatology is defined over the period nil - nil .
This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum, minimum and mean temperature monthly climatologies and anomalies.
This map shows the historical probability (given in percentile) of seasonal average monthly rainfall falling within the upper (wet), middle (normal), or bottom (dry) one-third ("tercile") of the 1981-2020 historical distribution in Guyana given the state of ENSO (El Niño, Neutral, La Niña) during that same season.
This map shows the historical probability (given in percentile) of seasonal average monthly minimum or maximum temperature falling within the upper (hot), middle (normal), or bottom (cold) one-third ("tercile") of the 1981-2020 historical distribution in Guyana given the state of ENSO (El Niño, Neutral, La Niña) during that same season.
Rainfall time series (1981-present) and temperature time series (1981-present) reconstructed from station observations, remote sensing and other proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum, minimum and mean temperature seasonal climatologies, anomalies and probability of exceedance.
Rainfall time series (1981-present) and temperature time series (1981-present) reconstructed from station observations, remote sensing and other proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum, minimum and mean temperature seasonal trends expressed per year, over the selected period or percent of the average over the selected period.
The Maproom facilitates the exploration of the history of extreme monthly and seasonal rainfall characteristics.

Climate Monitoring
This Analysis tool allows users to view different presentations of the the most recent dekad.
The Standardized Precipitation Index is an indicator of extreme rainfall events, whether they are drought or excess rainfall.
