The Australia month 1-3 ahead wind speed forecast is presented using two methodologies: 1.) Climate Impact Company constructed analog for zonal and meridional wind directions and 2.) ECMWF probabilistic outlook. ECMWF is generally indicating lighter than normal wind speeds for the 3-month period except above normal wind speeds for the Southeast Coast during JUN/JUL (agreeable to the CIC-CA outlook).

The Climate Impact Company constructed analog climate forecast for summer 2026 across India is issued. The forecast is confidently based on an emerging strong El Nino, which has a drying effect on India and a less confident evolution of positive phase Indian Ocean dipole, normally a wet influence on India climate. The JUN/JUL/AUG 2026 precipitation forecast across India is mostly dry according to CIC although with some locally patchy wet month-to-month areas.

Is there a relationship between summer climate and large areas of wet soil regions during spring? Yes! And the relationship can be profound and demonstrates a residual effect on mid-level troposphere pressure systems elsewhere. Currently, the Great Lakes region is in a historically wet soil moisture regime which continues to intensify. This region will enter the 2026 summer season with soaking wet soil conditions.

The warm season (MAY-SEP) 2026 cooling degree days outlook for selected cities across the PJM Service Area indicates a split (climate) pattern. PJM-West is susceptible to El Nino-fueled cloudiness and wet weather likely to suppress warm season cooling demand.
