  • The extended forecasts are produced twice a week (Monday and Thursday). The forecast resolution is ~36 km (15 - 46 days). The extended forecasts start from Day 14 of the ENS. 
  • Forecasts are produced for the coming 46 days with focus on week to week changes in the weather.
  • Forecasts are generally presented for the first 32 days in terms of anomalies relative to the climate
  • The long forecast ranges are best used if presented as multi-days means (maximize the possibility to capture predictable signals)
  • Overall, on extended range web charts, the confidence one can have in the forecast is "over-stated". The true chances of the event occurring are in general lower. 
  • Small scale features on anomaly maps should not be over interpreted. Focus on the large scale
  • Other products are of value: potential tropical cyclone activity, MJO indices, potential Sudden Stratospheric Warming activity.
  • For early forecast ranges check anomalies. Then monitor evolution and trends.  Make a forecast accordingly.
