<p class="MsoNormal">Rainfall
was below-average across portions of central and southern Africa, whereas many
places in eastern Africa received above-average rainfall.<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 southern
Gabon, Congo-Brazzaville, western DRC, parts of northern Angola, portions of
Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and parts of Madagascar. In contrast, there is an
increased chance for below-average rainfall over southern Angola, portions of
Namibia and Botswana, eastern DRC, Burundi, northeastern Zambia and portions of
Tanzania.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For the past 90 days, below normal rainfall deficits remain
in general over parts of northern & central India, South Korea, coastal
southeastern China, Papua New Guinea, and parts of south eastern Australia.
Elsewhere the monsoon rainfall is at
normal to above normal levels. For the past 30 days, below normal rainfall deficits are visibly
noted over southern peninsular India, parts of eastern China, Malaysia and
Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Papua New Guinea.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this past week, the observed rainfall amounts have
generally been a mixed pattern, with below normal rainfall amounts along coastal
southeast peninsular India. According to the India Met. Dept.(IMD), the 2017
winter northeast monsoon over southern India (Oct-Dec) rainfall is at -4% level
from the 1st of October till date. In
the upcoming two weeks, the NCEP GFS model predicts below normal rainfall over
southern peninsular India, but more rainfall over coastal east central India
and southeastern China. <span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Long-term rainfall deficits are present over the Amazon
Basin and Brazilian Plateau.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the last 7 days, below-average precipitation was
observed over portions of northwestern Brazil, western Colombia and eastern
Argentina. Above-average precipitation
was observed over portions of central South America and central Argentina. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For Days 1-7 (13-19 Nov 2017), below-average precipitation
is predicted over portions of northern South America, southeastern Brazil and
northern Argentina. Above-average precipitation
is predicted for much of central South America and the extreme southern Brazil.<span></span></p>
