[Wei Shi - NOAA Federal]

The weekly PowerPoint presentations summarizing the recent variability of
the global monsoon systems have been updated on the CPC Global Monsoons
website:
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/Global_Monsoons/Global-Monsoon.shtml

*HIGHLIGHTS:*



*African Monsoons:*



Rainfall surpluses exceeded 100mm over southeastern Nigeria. Above-average
rainfall was also observed over many places in the central Africa.



Week-1 outlooks call for an increased chance for above-average rainfall
over many parts of the Gulf of Guinea countries, parts of eastern DRC,
Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya, parts of Ethiopia, coastal
Tanzania, eastern Kenya, and southern Somalia. In contrast, there is an
increased chance for below-average rainfall over parts of southern Chad,
CAR, southern Sudan, and western South Sudan.



*Asian-Australian Monsoons:*



Not available for this week.





*South American Monsoons:*



Long-term rainfall deficits are present over the Amazon Basin, the
Brazilian Plateau and the extreme southern Brazil.



During the last 7 days, below-average precipitation was observed over
portions of northern and southern Brazil, southern Chile and southern
Colombia. Above-average precipitation was observed over portions of
northeastern Argentina, northern Peru and northern Colombia.



For Days 1-7 (14 - 20 May 2018), below-average precipitation is predicted
over much of northern Brazil, southern Venezuela, southern Chile, and
portions of eastern Argentina and southern Peru. Above-average
precipitation is predicted for portions of the extreme southern Brazil,
Paraguay, northern Peru and central Colombia.
