Main approach
:
Raise awareness on the topic climate change
Advocate for climate change adaptation and disaster
risk reduction (within and outside the RC/RC
Movement)
Analyze relevant forecast information on all
timescales
Integrate knowledge of climate risks into RC/RC
strategies, plans and activities

Global Forecast
Total Rain and Snow
September to November 2014
Produced by the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and
The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI)
Issued Aug 2014
IRI’s next forecast:
18 September 2014
For September to November, there is an increased chance of unusually dry conditions over parts of Asia, particularly Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines. Australia and several Pacific islands are also forecasted to be unusually dry.
Unusually wet conditions are more likely in the majority of the Pacific islands, parts of the Horn of Africa, parts of Southern Peru, a portion of mid USA and the Azores Islands.
Forecasts show a 70% chance that an El Niño will develop by December/January/February, but it will probably be relatively weak. Typical impacts of El Niños can be found here:
iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/maproom/IFRC/FIC/elninorain.html. Every El Niño is different and we suggest continual
monitoring of forecasts to see what rainfall effects an El Niño could have in your region in the coming months.
