ASEANCOF
The Tenth Session of the ASEAN Climate Outlook Forum (Online Correspondence, May 2018)
The Tenth ASEANCOF (ASEANCOF-10) was organised by the Malaysian Meteorological Department in collaboration with the Meteorological Services Singapore as host of the ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre. Representatives from National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) of 10 ASEAN Member States created a consensus forecast for the summer monsoon 2018 in the ASEAN region. The consensus for June-July-August (JJA) 2018 outlooks was achieved through online correspondence. The consensus is made based on the completed questionnaires on current conditions and predictions for the Southeast Asia region. In particular, the forum took into account the significant influence of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) on the climate over Southeast Asia.
