Climate predictions are of substantial benefit in many parts of the world in risk management and adaptation to the impacts of climate variability and change. General Circulation Models (GCM) can be formidable tools to predict the climate of a region. Pakistan Meteorological Department issues monthly and seasonal forecast product on first week of every month. These seasonal outputs are based upon the multimodal ensemble of climate forecast models includes, Climate Forecast System Version-2 (CFSV2) model, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seasonal forecast model, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) climate model, CANCM1 (CMC1) climate model and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) climate model respectively. These models are selected on the basis of their skill score for the region Pakistan. Numerical resolution is shifted to one degree horizontal resolution for all the models.
