Monthly forecasts
In 2003 Weather Informatics launched
site-specific monthly-mean temperature forecasts to meet the needs of
businesses involved in weather derivatives and energy trading. The
forecast package consists of:
Probablistic forecasts of the
average daily mean temperature over a calendar month
Forecasts
also given in Heating Degree Days (HDDs) or Cumulative Average
Temperature (CAT)
Forecasts at station locations:
London-Heathrow, Paris-Orly, Berlin-Tempelhof, Essen and Amsterdam-Schiphol
First forecast issued 10 days before the start of the forecast month
Updated forecasts issued daily until the end of the forecast month
A breakdown of the monthly-mean temperature into
daily values is available on request. We are also able to provide
monthly forecasts for other stations worldwide.

monthly forecast, here for Heathrow February 2003. The forecasts (red=forecast mean +/- 1 standard deviation)
