The Seasonal Forecasting Engine project just published their new forecast for four cities in Norway here. Summary: Mild weather in both months and in all the cities.
In the Seasonal Forecasting Engine research project, we combine historical data (ERA5) and trends with seasonal forecasts from multiple dynamical models into probabilistic forecasts. The dynamical model data is provided by the Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS). The method that we use to combine these data sources will be published soon. This is our temperature …
