The APCC forecast indicates that the positive temperature anomalies will continue to prevail over much of the globe. Strongly enhanced probability for above normal temperature is predicted for eastern and central tropical Pacific, western and eastern North Pacific, extratropical North America, Central and tropical South Americas, the tropical North Atlantic, Africa and the Indian Ocean, southern Asia. A warm tendency is expected for Australia, most of Eurasia and the Arctic. Below normal temperature is highly probable over the central North Atlantic, Chukotka, southern North America and subtropical South America, the southern seas. Strongly enhanced probability for above normal precipitation is predicted for the central and eastern equatorial Pacific and the Caribbean Sea. Most likely category is above normal for precipitation over the northern Eurasia and western North Pacific, in the belt spanning extratropical eastern North Pacific through subtropical North America and North Atlantic, northern North America, extratropical South America, eastern Africa, most of the Indian and southern oceans. Strongly enhanced probability for below normal precipitation is predicted for the north-eastern part of maritime continent and adjacent seas, tropical North and South Pacific surrounding equatorial precipitation maximum, and Amazonia. Below normal precipitation is also probable over the North Atlantic and equatorial Atlantic, western coast of South America, southern Africa.
