In December 2021, the DWD’s climate predictions website has been updated and includes now in addition to the seasonal climate predictions for Germany, Europe and the world, basic seasonal climate predictions for 17 german cities.

The goal is to present a user-friendly and tailored website that offers a consistent selection of available climate predictions and corresponding prediction skills for different timescales (weeks, seasons, years) and varying spatial scales (German cities and regions, Germany, Europe, World).

A good part of these products is already implemented and can be accessed in a basic and an expert version in German and English.

The last update contains seasonal predictions for December 2021 to May 2022, including high-resolution statistical downscaling for Germany and German cities.
