Monthly Temperature Outlook: November 2019

Issued: 30 Oct 2019

For November 2019, above-normal temperature is favoured over most parts of Southeast Asia except for the southern Maritime Continent where below- or near-normal temperature is predicted over the ocean and coastal regions.

For November 2019, all three models – NCEP CFSv2, ECMWF, and UK Met Office (Figures 1-3) – consistently predict above-normal temperature conditions over most parts of the equatorial and northern Southeast Asia with stronger probabilities over regions between 0-10°N. For the southern parts of the Maritime Continent, in particular over the ocean and coastal regions, all three models predict below- or near-normal temperature conditions.

The models’ skill scores for predicting both above- and below-normal temperature terciles are generally good over equatorial parts of Southeast Asia except for the southern Maritime Continent.
