How to plan ahead using the BOM Long-Range Forecast | Weather | ABC Australia

We've all had an event in the months ahead that would benefit from knowing the weather forecast well ahead of time.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the atmosphere, it's impossible to predict the weather on a certain day months in advance.

At least, not with any accuracy.

But, with advanced modelling, climatologists can give you a sense of what the average conditions around that time are likely to be.

This detail is shown in the Bureau of Meteorology's (BOM) long-range outlook, updated every fortnight.

The outlook can be a great tool for assessing your odds of sunshine and rain down the track.

So what can it tell you? And how can you use that information to plan for your farm, wedding or footy grand final in the months to come?

Weather reporter Tyne Logan breaks down the “chance of extremes”, and how to see what specific rainfall totals and temperatures the Bureau of betting on.
