With all of these different weather regimes/patterns/teleconnections/TCTs* how do you decide which ones to use to predict at different lead times?
Well we've had a go at finding you the answer!

Got back from holidays and starting to think about your EGU abstract that's due next week?
Well if you're working and/or researching in the world of physical climate risks for the finance sector then I might be able to save you some time hunting for a session to submit too.... pick this one!! :)
