BUSAN, 25 January 2016 – Synthesis of the latest model forecasts for February to July 2016 (FMAMJJ) at the APEC Climate Center (APCC), located at Busan, Korea, indicates the decaying phase of El Niño. The forecasts for FMA 2016, the post-mature phase of El Niño, 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 Pacific tropics. The forecasts for MJJ 2016 suggest further weakening of the El Niño episode with weakening of the El Niño associated above-normal temperature and rainfall anomalies in the equatorial Pacific down to the neutral conditions to negative anomalies.
