Forecasting the number of extreme daily events on seasonal timescales
Description: The authors of this research article investigate the potential for skillfully predicting the number of daily temperature extremes over 3 month (seasonal) periods. They show that the skill in predicting the number of extreme days is largely a consequence of the relationship between the seasonal mean temperature and the number of extreme days. The skill in predicting the number of extreme days occurs primarily through a shift in the distribution of the daily data rather than a change of its shape.
