About this episode
It looks like most of Australia is in for a warmer-than-usual summer this year.
That's according to the Bureau of Meteorology's long-range forecast, which was released in October.
So — without a crystal ball — how do meteorologists make weather predictions so far out, how accurate are they, and how is climate change affecting them?
