January temperature outlook
Let’s start 2023 with the forecast for the “temperature anomaly” for the month of January. The temperature anomaly is the “difference from normal temperatures” for the entire month.
The forecasts are categorized as follows:
- blue indicates the probability that temperatures will be below normal;
- grey to purple indicates the probability that temperatures will be near normal;
- yellow to red indicates the probability that temperatures will be above normal; and
- white indicates that there is not enough information to determine if the temperature will be above or below average.
*All categories are compared to the average of the 30 months of January between 1991 and 2020.
This is a prediction of the anomaly of the mean daily temperature at two metres (standard forecast height). It is not a forecast of the maximum nor of the minimum daily temperature.
