Why is Guyana not affected by storms and hurricanes?
Guyana is affected by storms. It's position near the tropical waters of the Caribbean means that it often gets thunderstorms. However, it is note frequently affected by hurricanes because it is close to the equator. Hurricanes get their spin as a result of the Corilolis effect, a consequenace of Earth's spin. This effect weakens the closer you get to the equator. Because of this, hurricanes generally do not form within 5 degrees (about 350 miles) of the equator, and will tend to degenerate into disorganized clusters of thunderstorms if they get too close. Additionally, a huge semipermenent high pressure system, called the Bermuda High, generates a clockwise circulation of air. This causes many hurricanse in the western Atlantic to turn to northward, away from Guyana.
