<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Portions
of West Africa received above-average rainfall. Rainfall was also above-average
across many places in the Central Africa countries, extending into South Sudan,
western Ethiopia and southern and eastern Sudan.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Week-1
outlooks call for an increased chance for above-average rainfall across Guinea,
Sierra Leone, Liberia, western Cote d’Ivoire, southern Mali, Burkina Faso,
parts of northern Ghana, southern Niger, northern Benin, northern Nigeria,
western Ethiopia and western Kenya. In contrast, there is an increased chance
for below-average rainfall over eastern Cote d’Ivoire, southern Ghana, southern

<p class="MsoNormal">For the past 90 days rainfall amounts are showing deficits
to various extents over large parts of central and western<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>India, and large deficits over southeast
Asian countries such as Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia, and the
Philippines.<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 central India, coastal
Western Ghats, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines islands and parts of
New Guinea. However, coastal eastern India, northeast India, Burma, and parts
of southeastern China and Indonesia had received more rainfall.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this past week, monsoon rainfall is generally deficient
across central India, eastern Asian countries, Indonesia, central eastern
China, and Japan. According to the India Met. Dept. (IMD), for the first
fifteen days of June, the monsoon rainfall over India has been deficient by 25
% across the country. In the next couple of weeks the NCEP GFS model is
predicting mostly below normal to normal over much of India and much below
normal over southeastern China in the first week, and a return to better
conditions in the second week.</p>
