It really is amazing how easy it is, even for a non-meteorologist like me, to see cycles in weather patterns. And the usefulness of the ability to forecast weeks or months in advance, particularly major storm events, has all sorts of practical applications.

Living in Southern California, residents know forest fires are a likely possibility, but, as with any natural disaster, we tend to brush off the risk with nonchalance. My family did as well, until a close family friend experienced complete devastation of their home due to a forest fire. Thankfully, our friends and their family are safe and our family and home has never been at risk of a forest fire. But knowing that we have Weather2020 to refer to as a tool to prepare for disaster—and all weather—is beyond comforting. The peace of mind is priceless.

I started following the LRC forecasts several years ago and, after seeing their value for my farming operation, I have used them to time and adjust my decisions.

Weather2020 was vital in the planning of one of my client’s biggest events of the year. Originally scheduled for May 16, I started consulting Weather2020’s long-range forecasts eight weeks out. When I saw that Weather2020 was forecasting possible SNOW on this date, I immediately consulted my client and moved the event one week later. Lo and behold, snow fell in Chicago on May 16!

[The LRC] is a very good forecasting tool and has proven to be very successful over the years in predicting weather changes and patterns.
