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

Where's the best place to see them nowadays? I used to use FMNOC, but
that hasn't been updated in 6 months.

and the persistence or otherwise of snow cover.

Chance would be a fine thing...

It must
surely be noticeable that in a dry fine spell when one High moves away
another develops in its place.

Does it make a difference whether it's an old or new High?

How does SST affect blocking patterns, anyway?
