Southeast Asia & the Pacific: Gradual transition from water surplus to deficit

Southeast Asia & the Pacific: Gradual transition from water surplus to deficit

The forecast indicates a transition away from widespread water surpluses and towards the gradual emergence of deficits. Exceptional deficits in western Cambodia are expected to persist through February or longer, but should diminish in extent after November. From September through November moderate deficits will begin to emerge in Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, southern Sumatra, and Java, and thereafter in Borneo and Sulawesi.
