Until these seasonal forecasts can be shown to have significant
skill, they
should be clearly labelled "Experimental" or - like some machines in
the old
"penny arcades" - "For amusement only - no prizes". Of course it is
possible that the variability of our local climate and weather is
such that
reliable seasonal forecasts cannot be issued with technology likely
to be
available any time soon. If this is the case, let's hold our hands
up and
be honest about it.



.... for those of us who were around in the 1960s, all this is a bit
"Déjà vu" ! Good grief, that was half-a-century ago :-)
