HIGHLIGHTS
Below average rainfall was observed in January 2015 in Maldives and a continuation of this dry condition
was observed in February and early March 2015 as well. Significant amount of rainfall is not predicted in
the next few days by NOAA/ CFS models. The rainfall deficit in Maldives has increased to about 22- 33%
of what is typical during the past 365 days. IRI predicts an El Nino by mid-2015.
