Remember, the next week or day may suddenly be
A-winter
B-summer
C-spring
D-fall
Or
1-insanely hot or unbearably cold.
It is always
A-tornado season
B-hurricane season
C-flood season
D-any other recognizable condition
Basically, there are no rules. Right now and for the foreseeble future, all patterns are obsolete. It may be a loooooong time before the climate settles down.

(17,111 posts)Yes it always changes.
However, for a while, there have been decent forecasting models especially on the macro level. None of them were perfect, but they had some validity.
The changes now are so fast and large that much of it is not useful. In the life of Earth, this is probably not new. In the life of man and forecasting, it is different.
