Climate Watch

Climate Watch is a special monthly feature on Weather World. Our forecasters look into the future and try to make a prediction on the upcoming weather events for the next 30 days. Other than just making an extended forecast, we also take a look back at last month's Climate Watch and examine what actually happened.
