American Samoa: American Samoa has entered its rainy season, and rainfall has been abundant
so far. Rainfall is expected to lessen in the next few months, especially if El Niño conditions force
the northwest monsoon and tropical-cyclone activity further eastward into the Cook Islands and
French Polynesia. For February and March there is still an above-normal risk for a tropical cyclone to occur
near American Samoa.

ENSO-Critical Period Climate Outlook (February through June 2010): Computer forecasts and consensus
outlooks from several regional meteorological centers indicate that rainfall in American Samoa is likely to
be slightly below normal for the next few months during the remainder of rainy season.
