 Polaris But, there was even more yellow snow than there is today. . . I remember it well! 

PS: I was in Bletchley.

 minus10  Well, I'll welcome AI in weather forecasting; it might do away with all those blizzards on Day 10! 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

 al78 Indeed, and we don't know what many of those forcings are. So, how anyone pretends to be able to forecast our weather, for six months' time, is beyond me. @Tamara's posts are about diagnostics and not A+B=C predictions. . .

 lassie23 Sod it! I've always thought it presaged snow in July! Smarch is the month?

 cheshire snow What. . . in a Day 10 forecast?! Heavens, no!

[Predictions for 2024]

I'll only make one prediction for 2024: we'll not see a heatwave that surpasses 1976's 16 consecutive days with 90F maxima.

How will a BAU scenario (as advertised very loudly by Trump & Co) cope with rising sea levels? I mean, the bulk of human civilisation is in low-lying areas. We can't all relocate to Denver, Colorado, can we?

 raz.org.rain  raz.org.rain  And I think it's the recent acceleration in warming that's played havoc with the modern use of analogues, dating back to the 19th century. . . Whatever any single analogue (or teleconnection) might have led to, in 1876, it surely has much less significance now than it did then. 

IMO, it's not the analogues/teleconnections that have gone astray -- it's the weather!
