Not a great deal of change - the 'indications' of drier-than-average

IMO, chaos theory makes any weather prediction much more than a week
ahead, not worth the paper it's written on.

Chaos theory only applies to individual synoptic
systems. There are longer-term effects such as sea temperature
anomalies and the persistence or otherwise of snow cover. It must
surely be noticeable that in a dry fine spell when one High moves away
another develops in its place.
