Atmospheric scientist James Renwick takes you under the bonnet of the climate system.

How do we make a seasonal climate forecast for a place like New Zealand? What's predictable and what's not? Is the weather getting more extreme and harder to predict?

About James Renwick

James Renwick has a background in prediction and predictability, combining years of experience weather forecasting at the Met Service with a PhD on the predictability of the atmospheric circulation. For the last 15 years, James has been researching Southern Hemisphere climate variability and climate prediction – over time periods ranging from a month to a century.
