Severe to exceptional deficits along the southern coast of Australia will dissipate, though some will continue in Victoria and New Zealand. Severe to exceptional surpluses will continue in Queensland.
Surpluses of varying intensity will spread further throughout regions of the Sahel, and in southern Africa. Exceptional deficits will remain in northern Africa and central Africa, as well as along the Gulf of Guinea.
Widespread exceptional deficits will diminish in portions of Brazil, the Southern Cone, and Bolivarian Nations, though some regions of northern, central, eastern, and southern Brazil will observe continued anomalies. Surpluses are expected to arise in portions of the Bolivarian Nations and the Amazon Rainforest.
