<p class="MsoNormal">Another
week of heavy rainfall sustained moisture surpluses over portions of Guinea,
Sierra Leone, southern Nigeria, eastern Sudan and western Ethiopia.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Week-1
outlooks call for an increased chance for above-average rainfall over much of
Guinea, southern Mali, portions of Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire, parts of
Nigeria, northern Cameroon, southern Chad, eastern Sudan and western Ethiopia.
In contrast, there is an increased chance for below-average rainfall over
eastern Ethiopia.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For the past 90 days, weak below normal rainfall deficits
remain in general over parts of central and peninsular India, east central
China, Koreas, Japan, Papua New Guinea, and large parts 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
the past 30 days, overall, below normal
rainfall situation is noted over central and peninsular India, north central
China, parts of Japan and southeastern Australia. Elsewhere, the rainfall is
mostly above normal to normal.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this past week, the observed rainfall amounts has
been deficient over northern India and
across central and eastern China, Koreas, Japan, 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 2% above the long term mean across India as a
whole. As of this writing, 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 central and northern India especially in the second week particularly
during these peak period of monsoon rainfall, and near so slightly above normal
rainfall elsewhere in the region.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Above-average rainfall has been observed over much of
Arizona and northwestern Mexico during the past week.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rainfall accumulations over the past 30 days were
above-average for much of Arizona and northwestern Mexico and below-average for
southern New Mexico and along the west coast of Mexico. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NCEP/GFS Forecasts call for above-average precipitation for
southern Arizona and below-average rainfall for southern Mexico during 31 July
– 06 August 2017.<span></span></p>
