Across the 17 million square miles that make up Asia, there is great variation from the freezing climes of its polar north to hot, dry deserts in its centre and a hot and tropical south.

Asia weather climate Asia is a vast continent covering almost 30% of the earth's land surface. Similarly to the Americas, Asia has great variances of climates from the wetter south eastern regions, warmer south west areas and the freezing temperatures of Siberia. Asia tourist information Asia

three months, large parts of southern Asia, Australasia, Central America, northern parts of South America, along with southern parts of the Caribbean are likely to be wetter than normal. Meanwhile, large swathes of Africa and the Middle East are likely to be drier than normal. Below Normal Near

northward shift of rains will see the onset of the South Asian Monsoon (SAM). Wetter than normal conditions for much of the Indian subcontinent, Sri Lanka, as well as parts of southeast Asia are likely over the next three months. This may reflect either an early onset of the SAM, or a more intense

The patterns for precipitation (rainfall, snowfall) are more localised, with an increased chance of higher rainfall in northwest Europe and lower rainfall in southern Europe

three months and especially prior to the dry season many parts of the Middle East recorded below normal rainfall. During the same period the Caribbean and British Overseas Territories have seen near-normal or below normal rainfall. Outlook: For much of the Middle East and North Africa the next three
