The current North Atlantic SSTA profile and sharp warm-cool-warm […]
Long range forecasting is often seen to be impossible and laughed at. However it’s predictable if you know what your looking for.

Although I think the remainder of this month stays with the unsettled theme, the good news is models are hinting at warmer air […]
