<p class="MsoNormal">Rainfall
was below-average over many places in the Equatorial Africa.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Above-average
rainfall was observed over portions of southern Africa including Madagascar.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Week-1
outlooks call for an increased chance for below-average rainfall over
Equatorial-Guinea, Gabon, Congo-Brazzaville, northwestern Angola, western DRC,
southeastern Angola, eastern Namibia, Botswana, southwestern Zambia, western
Zimbabwe, and portions of northern South Africa. In contrast, there is an
increased chance for above-average rainfall over southern DRC, eastern Zambia,
southern Tanzania, Malawi, northern Mozambique, and much of Madagascar.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For the past 90 days, below normal rainfall deficits remain
in general over east central India, South Koreas, portions of southeast central
China, Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, Malaysia, and parts of central and 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 southeastern peninsular India, parts
of interior eastern China,, Papua New Guinea, and parts of eastern Australia. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this past week, the observed rainfall amounts have been below normal rainfall over deep southern
peninsular India, Malaysia, and part of Indonesia and the Philippines. The 2017
winter northeast monsoon over southern India (Oct-Dec) rainfall, according to
the India Meteorological Dept. (IMD), is at about -10% level below long term mean. In the
upcoming two weeks, the NCEP GFS model predicts above normal rainfall along the
east coasts of southern India and southeastern Australia in the first week, and
sporadic rainfall across the region during the second week.<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 much of northern and central Brazil, eastern Bolivia and northern
Argentina. Above-average precipitation
was observed over portions of southern Brazil and central Colombia. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For Days 1-7 (27 Nov – 03 Dec 2017), below-average
precipitation is predicted over much of northern, central and the extreme
southern Brazil as well as northeastern Argentina and southern Chile. Above-average precipitation is predicted for
portions of central Colombia and central Peru, northwestern Bolivia, northern
Paraguay, central Argentina and southern Brazil.<span></span></p>
