rainfall surpluses exceeded 100mm over western Guinea-Conakry and local areas
in Sierra Leone, whereas suppressed rainfall prevailed over southern Ghana,
Benin and Nigeria. </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 over much of
Guinea-Conakry, Sierra Leone, western Liberia, southwestern Mali, portions of
Nigeria and southern Niger, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, southern Chad, parts
of northern CAR, western Sudan and western Ethiopia. In contrast, there is an
increased chance for below-average rainfall over eastern Liberia, Cote
d’Ivoire, southern Ghana, southern Togo, southern Benin and southwestern
Nigeria.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For the past 90 days rainfall amounts are showing deficits
to various extents over large parts of central, northern 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 near
normal to above normal rainfall. For the past 30 days the rainfall situation
was deficient across central India, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines
islands, parts of New Guinea and sporadically across central and southeastern
China. Elsewhere, rainfall was at near normal or above normal levels. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this past week, monsoon rainfall is generally deficient
across<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>India except along the coastal
western Ghats and over much deficient over entire southeastern China.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>According to the India Met. Dept. (IMD), for
the first twenty two days of June, the monsoon rainfall has been deficient by
18 % across the country.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>In the next
couple of weeks the NCEP GFS model is predicting above normal rainfall across
parts of central and northern India and northern sections of southeastern
China, but below normal rainfall to the south of this region. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
