Winter forecast for Southeastern Asia expects the next severe storms, floods, and landslides, but mostly in more southern regions such as continental parts of Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar /https://mkweather.com/winter-2021-2022-forecast-for-asia-early-extreme-arctic-and-siberian-blasts-and-blizzards-late-dry-and-warm-conditions//.
In northern parts of a peninsula, winter cold blasts, with snow in the mountains even, should surprise already around December 2021, when a persisting cold pattern is forecasted.
Meanwhile, wet MJO and negative IOD above Southeastern Asia – Indian Ocean parts, will bring severe floods.
Drier MJO and positive IOD, with a strong cyclone season in Africa, is expected only in the second half of Winter 2021/2022 according to the last estimates /https://mkweather.com/winter-and-summer-2021-2022-forecast-for-africa/; https://mkweather.com/summer-2021-2022-forecast-for-australia-and-oceania-stormy-colder-la-nina-pattern-above-the-continent//.
