Temperature <strong>and</strong> Precipitation Outlook: March – May 2010<br />

Figure 16: Temperature Outlook, March - May 2010<br />

Figure 17: Precipitation Outlook, March - May 2010<br />

Continued warm conditions are expected for Canada <strong>and</strong> through much of South America due to continued<br />

El Niño conditions, though the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phase is forecast to shift from El Niño<br />

conditions to more neutral conditions. Eastern South America is forecast to be drier than normal, as is southern<br />

Africa <strong>and</strong> into southeast Asia <strong>and</strong> extreme northern Australia. Above normal precipitation is forecast for the<br />

southern United States <strong>and</strong> northern Mexico as well as across central Asia. Much of central <strong>and</strong> southern<br />

Africa is forecast to be warmer than normal, while extreme western <strong>and</strong> extreme eastern portions of Asia are<br />

expected to be cooler than normal.<br />
