remain in general over parts of central and peninsular India, east central
China, Koreas, Japan, Papa New Guinea, and much of Australia. During same
period, rainfall excess remain over central western and northeastern India, Bangladesh, Burma, and
many southeast Asian countries bordering South China Sea area including large
parts of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. For

<p class="MsoNormal">In this past week, the observed rainfall amounts has
been deficient over northern Indian and
across central and eastern China, Koreas, Japan, Malaysia and over the larger
Indonesian islands. The India Met. Dept, (IMD) is reporting that the monsoon,
so far since the beginning of June, is
about 4% above the long term mean across India as a whole. As of this
writing, many tropical storms are active in the western and eastern tropical
Pacific. In the next couple of weeks the NCEP GFS model is predicting below
normal rainfall over much of the region, except along central India and parts
of Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos.<span></span></p>
