Weekly Hydro-meteorological Report, 06 December 2012


Highlights

Monitoring and Prediction
Monitoring: Heavy rains have persisted in Sri Lanka since the start of October – this as expected during a positive Indian Ocean Dipole mode phase (with warmer sea surfaces in the Arabian seas).

Warmer than normal temperatures persist due to the warm Arabian sea surface anomalies.
