Monthly Temperature Outlook: November 2024

Issued: 31 Oct 2024

For November 2024, above-normal temperature is predicted over much of the ASEAN region.

For November 2024, above-normal temperature is predicted over much of the ASEAN region based on the multi-model ensemble (Figure 4), with the exception for parts of eastern Mainland Southeast Asia with near-normal temperature predicted. All three models (NCEP, ECMWF, and the UK Met Office) agree with high confidence on above-normal temperature over the Maritime Continent (Figures 1 – 3). For Mainland Southeast Asia, the ECMWF and UK Met Office models predicts above-normal temperature for much of the region with higher likelihood over the northwestern region, while the NCEP model (Figure 1) predict above-normal temperature for the western region and a mix of below- to near-normal temperature for the rest of the region. The model skill is relatively good for predicting above-normal temperature over the southern ASEAN region and moderate to good over most of the northern ASEAN region.
