BUSAN, 24 July 2015 – Synthesis of the latest model forecasts for August 2015 to January 2016 (ASONDJ) at the APEC Climate Center (APCC), located at Busan, Korea, indicates persistent positive temperature anomaly across the tropical Pacific consistent with the developing El Niño. The forecasts for ASO 2015 show the positive temperature anomalies to prevail over the globe. Positive rainfall anomalies are expected in the equatorial Pacific, while strong negative anomalies prevailing over the maritime continent, South-East Asia and Central America. The forecasts for NDJ 2015/16 suggest further development of the El Niño episode with above-normal rainfall in the equatorial Pacific and persisted dry conditions over the maritime continent, South-East Asia and Central America.
