Abstract:
Synthesis of the latest model forecasts for April to September 2016 (AMJJAS) at the APEC Climate Center (APCC), located at Busan, Korea, indicates the decaying phase of El Nino. The forecasts for AMJ 2016 shows positive temperature anomalies to prevail over the globe, with above normal rainfalls being highly probable in the equatorial Pacific surrounded by the negative precipitation anomalies in the subtropical Pacific. The forecasts for JAS 2016 suggest persistence of prevailing of positive temperature anomalies over the globe and a neutral ENSO phase with slightly negative temperature and rainfall anomalies in the equatorial Pacific.
