Wetter conditions are predicted over much of the equatorial region and southwestern Maritime Continent in the next fortnight (15 – 28 September).

Drier conditions are predicted over central and northeastern Mainland Southeast Asia in Week 1 (15 – 21 September).

Cooler than usual temperatures are predicted in Week 1 (15 – 21 September) over the southwestern Maritime Continent and parts of the central equatorial region.

No coherent Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) signal was present at the start of September.
Most models predict no significant MJO activity during the forecast period.

The outlook is assessed for the region in general, where conditions are relative to the average conditions for the corresponding time of year. For specific updates on the national scale, the relevant ASEAN National Meteorological and Hydrological Services should be consulted.

Wetter conditions are predicted over much of the equatorial region in Week 2 (8 – 14 September).

No significant regional temperature anomalies are predicted in the next fortnight (1 – 14 September).

A Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) signal propagated from the Indian Ocean (Phases 2 and 3) towards the Maritime Continent (Phase 4) in the second half of August. Most models predict this signal to decay by the start of September, with no significant MJO activity predicted during the forecast period.

Figure 2: Temperature Outlook

Drier conditions are predicted over parts of the western Maritime Continent in Week 1 (18 – 24 August). Warmer than usual temperatures are predicted over the same area in the next fortnight (18 – 31 August).

In Week 1 (18 – 24 August), wetter conditions and cooler than usual temperatures are predicted over parts of the southern and eastern Maritime Continent.

A weak Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) signal propagated from the Western Hemisphere and Africa (Phases 8 and 1) towards the Indian Ocean in the first week of August. Most models predict this signal to continue propagating over the Indian Ocean (Phases 2 and 3), then weaken and become indiscernible in Week 1. Models disagree if the MJO signal will reach the Maritime Continent (Phase 4) before decaying.

The outlook is assessed for the region in general, where conditions are relative to the average conditions for the corresponding time of year. For specific updates on the national scale, the relevant ASEAN National Meteorological and Hydrological Services should be consulted.

Drier conditions are predicted over central and eastern Mainland Southeast Asia in Week 1 (4 – 10 August). Wetter conditions are predicted over much of the mentioned area in Week 2 (11 – 17 August), with the highest likelihood over southern Mainland Southeast Asia.

Wetter conditions are predicted over much of the Maritime Continent during the next fortnight (4 – 17 August).

Warmer than usual temperatures are predicted over much of Mainland Southeast Asia in Week 1 (4 – 10 August), in line with the predicted drier conditions.

A Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) signal was present over the Western Pacific (Phase 7) during the last week of July. Most models predict this signal to weaken by the start of August. Most models predict an MJO signal to emerge in Phase 1 (Western Hemisphere) during Week 1, with some models predicting the signal to continue propagating eastwards to the Indian Ocean (Phase 2) during Week 2.

The outlook is assessed for the region in general, where conditions are relative to the average conditions for the corresponding time of year. For specific updates on the national scale, the relevant ASEAN National Meteorological and Hydrological Services should be consulted.

Drier conditions are predicted over much of the Maritime Continent and parts of southeastern Mainland Southeast Asia in the next fortnight (21 July – 3 August).

Wetter conditions are predicted over much of the rest of Mainland Southeast Asia and the very northeastern part of the Maritime Continent in Week 1 (21 – 27 July).

Warmer than usual temperatures are predicted over most of the Maritime Continent and parts of southeastern Mainland Southeast Asia in the next fortnight (21 July – 3 August), in line with the predicted drier conditions.

A Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) signal emerged over the Maritime Continent (Phase 4) during the second week of July. Most models predict this signal to propagate eastwards reaching the Western Pacific (Phases 6 and 7) by the end of Week 1. In Week 2, most models predict the MJO signal to weaken.

The outlook is assessed for the region in general, where conditions are relative to the average conditions for the corresponding time of year. For specific updates on the national scale, the relevant ASEAN National Meteorological and Hydrological Services should be consulted.
