weather over the summer came in the form of heatwaves, when there may be particular focus on forecast accuracy. Of the maximum temperature observations that exceeded 30°C over the summer, over 90% of the forecasts were forecasting temperatures above 28°C at three days ahead, and over 70

Seasonal forecasts rely on aspects of the global weather and climate system that are predictable. These are known as climate drivers and include tropical sea-surface temperatures and pressure patterns over the North Atlantic. The predictable effects of climate drivers act alongside inherently

The development process is documented and a comparison to previous coupled climate models and atmosphere only climate models is made. The system (known as weather@home) by which the global model is coupled

The Meteorological Office was not involved in military forecasting from the outbreak of the First World War; its relationship with the British Army developed over the course of the campaign. Meteorological Office staff first entered the war zone after the Battle of Loos. They worked on the front

as not (48%). However, there is only a very small chance (10%) of the five-year mean exceeding this threshold.  The chance of at least one year in the next five years exceeding the current warmest year, 2016, is over 90%. The chance of the five-year mean for 2022-2026 being higher than the last five
