Document Description

Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Pacific Region for September–November 2023. Dated December 2023.

For the Sept-Nov (SON) period, precipitation was above normal across much of the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) including Palau, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Conversely, drier-than-normal conditions were observed across areas of the Republic of the Marshal Islands (RMI), American Samoa, and the Hawaiian Islands.

NOAA’s Regional Climate Services Program creates these Climate Outlooks to inform the public about recent climate impacts within their respective regions. Each regional report contains easy-to-understand language, and anyone can access them through the U.S. Drought Portal.
