With the release of June 2020 real-time forecast (at 12UTC on the 13th June) some changes have been introduced to the geographical regions available at C3S seasonal forecast graphical products ([https://climate.copernicus.eu/charts/c3s\_seasonal](https://climate.copernicus.eu/charts/c3s_seasonal)).

All these changes have been introduced starting from June 2020, and previously produced plots haven't been affected by them.

Specifically:

- A new area called "Pacific Islands" has been added to cover in detail that region of the world

- The area called "South America" has been amended, so it accurately covers the whole South American sub-continent.

- The area called "Tropics" has been amended to be centred over the International Date Line (meridian 180º)
