Comparison of NOAA and JAMSTEC Temperature and Precipitation Outlooks for the U.S. June 19, 2023

June 19, 2023Posted inweatherNo Comments

Recently we have published the NOAA (find it here) and the JAMSTEC (find it here) temperature and precipitation Outlooks. I have been letting my readers compare them but tonight I decided to see if I could make it easier for readers to do that.

So that comparison is in the body of this article. Surprisingly they are fairly similar aided by the forecast of an El Nino. They are by no means identical.

NOAA is predicting a stronger El Nino than predicted by JAMSTEC. This may explain some of the differences.  Looking at two different forecasts can help the reader understand the range of possibilities that are possible. Hopefully, readers will find this interesting.

Two Multi-seasonal Weather Outlooks: NOAA and JAMSTEC April 22, 2023

Some additional light editing at 5:03 p.m  EDT Sunday April 23, 2023 to explain a difference in the way the two agencies present information.

Here we present two multi-season weather outlooks.
NOAA provides such an outlook for the U.S. every month and JAMSTEC does so for the World. Their world outlook of course includes the U.S.  I used to compare the two. The reader can do this themselves.

The JAMSTEC forecast is of interest partly because both Japan and the US.  have weather that is mostly based on the Pacific Ocean.
