Experimental Climate Monitoring and Prediction for the Maldives – November 2019

HIGHLIGHTS

Monitored: During November, the whole country received rainfall slightly above than is normal for the season. During last year the Southern and Northern Islands have an excess of 450 mm and 200 mm of rainfall respectively compared to the average. The Central Islands are experiencing average rainfall. The sea surface temperature around the Maldives was 1 ⁰C above normal. This is extremely warm. 

Predictions: IMD GFS the model predicts up to 20 mm of daily rainfall in the northern islands; and up to 10 mm in central and southern islands on December 4^th and 5^th. On the 6^th and 7^th, daily rainfall up to 70 mm is expected in the northern and central islands; and up to 10 mm in southern islands.  Long Range Weather prediction models simulations anticipate total rainfall up to 100 mm for the northern and central parts next week.

Experimental Climate Monitoring and Prediction for Maldives – August 2019

HIGHLIGHTS

Monitored:  During August, northern and southern parts of the country received rainfall above than is normal for the season; and central islands received below normal rainfall. The Southern Islands have an excess of 400 mm of rainfall during last year compared to the average while the Northern Islands are having a deficit of 375 mm and Central islands a deficit of 200 mm. The sea surface temperature around the Maldives was 0.5 0C above normal. 

Predictions:  IMD GFS model predicts up to 10 mm of daily rainfall in the northern and central islands during September 3rd - 7th. On the 8th, rainfall up to 10 mm is expected in the entire country. Long Range Weather prediction models simulations anticipate total rainfall up to 25 mm for the entire country next week.

Experimental Climate Monitoring and Prediction for Maldives – July 2019

HIGHLIGHTS

Monitored: During July, southern parts of the country received rainfall below than is normal for the season by more than 50 mm; and central and southern islands received normal rainfall. The northern islands recorded the second-highest rainfall for the period in the past six years. The Southern Islands have an excess of 500 mm of rainfall during last year compared to the average while the Northern Islands are having a deficit of 400 mm and Central islands a deficit of 100 mm. The sea surface temperature around the Maldives was 1 ⁰C above normal. This is extremely warm.

Predictions: IMD GFS model predicts up to 10 mm of daily rainfall in the entire country during August 4^th - 6^th. On the 7^th and 8^th, rainfall up to 20 mm is expected in the northern islands and up to 10 mm in the rest of the country.  Long Range Weather prediction models simulations anticipate total rainfall up to 25 mm for the entire country next week.
