<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Week-1
outlooks call for an increased chance for above-average rainfall throughout
portions of Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Cameroon,
CAR, and southern Chad. In contrast, there is an increased chance for
below-average rainfall over portions of northern DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For the past 90 days rainfall amounts are showing deficits
to various extents over large parts of Australia, southwestern southern
peninsular India, and southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Laos,
Vietnam, and Cambodia, the Philippines and eastern Papua New Guinea.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>However, northeastern India, Burma, coastal
southeastern China and many parts of Indonesia received<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>above normal rainfall. For the past 30 days
the rainfall situation was deficient over Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, the
Philippines islands and parts of New Guinea. However, coastal eastern India,
northeast India, Burma, and parts of<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>southeastern China and Indonesia had received more rainfall.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this past week,<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>rainfall is near normal across India, but deficient over northeastern
India, Cambodia, Laos and parts of Indonesia. There is confusion reg. the onset
forecast for the monsoon this year, between the official meteorological agency
IMD, and the major private weather forecasters the SkyMeT. Lastly, the IMD has
announced that favorable conditions now exist for monsoon onset over south
India in the next 2-3 days. In the next couple of weeks the NCEP GFS model is
predicting near to below normal rainfall in the next couple of weeks over
southern India, below normal rainfall over Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.</p>
