Assistant director of the PNG National Weather Service (PNGNWS) Jimmy Gomoga told Loop PNG that the strong winds and rain will continue due to the bouncing off effect of the trade winds.
Gomoga explained that as the trades winds come in they actually bounce off the Owen Stanley Range which results in rain during the dry season for the Southern Region.
He said despite the dry season expected from May to October, Southern region and some parts of the country had been experiencing rain due to this neutral weather conditions.
