BUSAN, 24 December 2015 – Synthesis of the latest model forecasts for January to June 2016 (JFMAMJ) at the APEC Climate Center (APCC), located at Busan, Korea, indicates the positive temperature anomaly across the tropical Pacific associated with the mature phase of El Niño to gradually weaken. The forecasts for JFM 2016 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 north-eastern maritime continent and adjacent seas. The forecasts for AMJ 2016 suggest further weakening of the El Niño episode with weakening of the associated above- normal rainfall anomalies in the equatorial Pacific.
