WMO Lead Centre for Annual-to-Decadal Climate Prediction

The Met Office is a designated Lead Centre for Annual-to-Decadal Climate Prediction (LC-ADCP). The LC-ADCP collects and provides hindcasts, forecasts and verification data from a number contributing centres worldwide.

The contributing prediction systems are from a number of different prediction centres worldwide. The prediction from each institute is shown below as an anomaly from 1971-2000, alongside the average of all the models. Verifying observations for the period of the forecast are also shown. Please use the drop-down menus below to explore the predictions.

The data will be made available shortly.
