BUSAN, 26 October 2015 – Synthesis of the latest model forecasts for November 2015 to April 2016 (NDJFMA) at the APEC Climate Center (APCC), located at Busan, Korea, indicates persistent positive temperature anomaly across the tropical Pacific consistent with the strengthening El Niño. The forecasts for NDJ 2015 show the positive temperature anomalies to prevail over the globe. Above normal rainfalls are highly probable in the equatorial Pacific, while below normal precipitation is expected over the eastern maritime continent and adjacent seas, Central and northern South Americas. The forecasts for FMA 2016 suggest persistence of the El Niño episode with a belt of above-normal rainfall in the equatorial Pacific surrounded by the areas of below normal precipitation.
Climate Information Service
APCC produces high-cost climate data and information by operating a real-time and highly-validated climate prediction system based on a multi-climate model ensemble (MME) technique. APCC also carries out research in order to enhance capacity in the monitoring and predication of weather and climate in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
