outlooks call for an increased chance for above-average rainfall over southern
Senegal, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, southern and central Mali,
Burkina Faso, portions of northern Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana, southwestern Niger,
western Ethiopia and eastern South Sudan Republic. In contrast, there is an
increased chance for below-average rainfall over southern Cameroon, Gabon,
Equatorial Africa, Congo, western DRC, and eastern Ethiopia.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For the past 90 days rainfall pattern has been mixed, with
above normal rainfall over eastern India/Burma and eastern parts of China and
below normal elsewhere. For the past 30 days, rainfall was considerably below
normal everywhere except along northern and northeastern India, parts of Burma
and to a small extent along east coast of China. A clear disparity with above
normal rainfall in the north and below normal rainfall pattern in the south
India has emerged so far. According to the India Met. Dept. (IMD), the SW
summer monsoon rainfall over India as whole since the 1st of June, as of today,
is now 4 % below normal.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In this past week the southwest monsoon rainfall was
somewhat above normal along pasts of central western India, Burma and eastern
China.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Elsewhere it was below normal. In
the next couple of weeks, the NCEP GFS model is predicting above normal
rainfall over<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>parts of central and
northern India. Elsewhere below normal rainfall is predicted.</p>

southwest US while most of Mexico (except along the gulf coast) experienced
wetter-than-average condition during the past week. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Rainfall accumulations over the past 30 days were
above-average across the northwestern Mexico and southwestern US, and
below-average over southern and eastern Mexico.</p>
