Outline Overview Recent Evolution and Current Conditions Madden-Julian Oscillation Forecast Summary

Overview The MJO has weakened during the past week with the enhanced phase centered across the Maritime continent. Enhanced convection continued across sections of the Arabian Sea, India and sections of Indochina and the western Pacific Ocean. Dry conditions were observed across parts of the eastern Pacific Ocean, Central America, and Africa. Based on the latest monitoring and forecast tools, weak MJO activity is expected to continue during the upcoming 1-2 week period.

850-hPa Vector Wind Anomalies (m s -1 ) Note that shading denotes the magnitude of the anomalous wind vectors Easterly anomalies in the west-central Pacific Ocean have shifted eastward and strengthened. Westerly anomalies are now evident across the Maritime Continent. The Somali Jet remains enhanced.

850-hPa Zonal Wind Anomalies (m s -1 ) Longitude Time Westerly anomalies (orange/red shading) represent anomalous west-to- east flow. Easterly anomalies (blue shading) represent anomalous east-to-west flow. The persistent westerly anomalies across the eastern Pacific from mid-May to mid June have diminished and winds are near average in the far eastern Pacific Ocean. Westerly anomalies developed over the Maritime Continent during the past week while easterly anomalies in the Pacific Ocean have shifted eastward. These changes are associated with the current MJO.

Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) Anomalies (7.5°S-7.5°N) Drier-than-normal conditions, positive OLR anomalies (yellow/orange shading) Wetter-than-normal conditions, negative OLR anomalies (blue shading) Longitude Time Enhanced convection, associated with the MJO in January, shifted eastward from the Indian Ocean across the Maritime continent and western Pacific. Convection has shifted eastward into the Maritime Continent and western Pacific during the past week. Intermittent periods of enhanced convection were evident in the western Pacific Ocean from late March into May.

OLR Anomalies: Last 30 days During late May and early June, enhanced rainfall continued over sections of the eastern Pacific Ocean to the western Atlantic. During early-mid June, dry conditions were evident across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Philippines while the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, and sections of Africa were wet. The development of the MJO continued enhanced convection in these areas with an extension to the east to include the rest of the Indian Ocean and the western Maritime continent. Drier-than-normal conditions, positive OLR anomalies (/red shading) Wetter-than-normal conditions, negative OLR anomalies (blue shading)

200-hPa Velocity Potential Anomalies (5°S-5°N) Negative anomalies (green shading) indicate favorable conditions for precipitation. Longitude Time Weak to moderate MJO activity was observed during late February and early March as velocity potential anomalies shifted eastward. The MJO strengthened in mid-late May as velocity potential anomalies increased and shifted eastward. Positive anomalies (brown shading) indicate unfavorable conditions for precipitation. The MJO was weak or incoherent from mid-March to mid-May.

200-hPa Vector Wind Anomalies (m s -1 ) Note that shading denotes the magnitude of the anomalous wind vectors Widespread westerly anomalies are evident along the equator from the Maritime continent across much of the Pacific Ocean.

Weekly Heat Content Evolution in the Equatorial Pacific Longitude Time Since January, negative heat content anomalies are evident across the eastern equatorial Pacific and since late March larger positive anomalies are evident in the far western Pacific Ocean. During this period eastward- propagating Kelvin waves (warm phases indicated by dashed lines) have caused considerable month- to-month variability in the upper- ocean heat content. Most recently, negative heat content anomalies have decreased in the east Pacific Ocean while anomalies have become positive as far east as 130° W.

MJO Index The current state of the MJO as determined by an index based on Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis using combined fields of near-equatorially-averaged 850-hPa and 200-hPa zonal wind and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) (Wheeler and Hendon, 2004). The axes represent the time series of the two leading modes of variability and are used to measure the amplitude while the triangular areas indicate the phase or location of the enhanced phase of the MJO. The farther away from the center of the circle the stronger the MJO. Different color lines indicate different months. The MJO index amplitude has decreased during the past few days with little eastward propagation.

MJO OLR Forecast The statistical method forecasts weak wet conditions stretching from the Bay of Bengal into the western Pacific Ocean over the next five days. Weak dry conditions are expected to develop across the tropical Indian Ocean by the end of week 2.

200–850 hPa Vertical Wind Shear All plots: Shading denotes magnitude of vectors Plots (a),(c),(d): low shear (red), high shear (yellow/white) Plot (b): Shear greater than average (blue) Shear less than average (yellow/red) (a) (b) (c) (d) Weaker than normal shear has been observed during the past week across the Bay of Bengal and South China Sea. The GFS forecast indicates some areas of weak-moderate shear across parts of the western Pacific Ocean.

The slides depicting potential benefits and hazards normally located here will no longer be placed within the MJO weekly update.
