Year Ahead Forecasting

WeatherOrWhich

A company called Weather Trends http://www.weathertrends360.com/ claim to be able to forecast the weather (temp) to a high degree degree of accuracy (>84% for Ireland) and claim that forecasting rain a year ahead is 'more difficult' but still claim a >70% rate of accuracy.

Anybody heard of this company? Are they reputable?

They claim their methods are different to the usual GFS/ECMWF type models and specialize in year ahead forecasts aimed at businesses but at time the same time time claim ">1 degree" improvement over the UK Met Office for > 4 day time horizon.

I'm cynial to say the least but interested to hear views of more experienced weather people ...

Boring Boring Boring

pauldry

if you forecast 13 to 14c and showery for Sligo for the next 12 months that is near 84% accurate!

barring a major Winter freeze or Summer heatwave it is the case and even heatwaves in Sligo only last 3 or 4 days at best.

Jeez its windy out there now

I went as far as 24th August, really depressing... They grade everything in "Mid", "High", or "Low", so it gives them a pretty big bracket : "Mid 00s degrees celsius", "Mid 10s degrees C", "Low 00s", "Mid 00s", ....well obviously :rolleyes:
Booring allright.
