<p class="MsoNormal">Weekly
total rainfall was above-average over many places in West and Central Africa.
Above-average rainfall was also observed over portions of Sudan and 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 parts of
Guinea, Southern Mali, Burkina Faso, northern Benin, parts of Nigeria, eastern
South Sudan and western Ethiopia. In contrast, there is an increased chance for
below-average rainfall over eastern Liberia, and portions of Cote d’Ivoire and
Ghana.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For the past 90 days, 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, and southern parts of Japan. 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
notably deficient over large area of west central India and interior east
central China, Koreas, and Japan. The India Met. Dept, (IMD) is reporting that
the monsoon, so far since the beginning of June, is about 3% below the long
term mean for India as a whole. As of this writing tropical storm Noru is about
to make a landfall in Japan, and bring a lot of rain there, where rainfall has
been deficient. In the next couple of
weeks the NCEP GFS model continues to predict below normal rainfall over most
of central and north central India.<span></span></p>
