The APEC Climate Center (APCC) officially launched its 'Multi-Model Ensemble (MME) Global Subseasonal Prediction Service' on November 2 via its official website (www.apcc21.org). By bridging the gap between short-term weather forecasts and long-term seasonal outlooks, this new service supports proactive preparedness against extreme climate events.

To ensure high reliability, the system integrates subseasonal prediction data from 10 climate institutes across six countries, including South Korea, the United States, and European nations. Every Monday, APCC releases updated global climate prediction maps covering the next four weeks for three key variables: temperature, precipitation, and sea surface temperature. The forecasts are broken down into weekly outlooks (Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4) as well as 1–4 week and 3–4 week averages for targeted preparation. Furthermore, to meet diverse user needs, APCC provides both 'deterministic forecasts'—showing expected numerical deviations from normal conditions—and 'probabilistic forecasts'—indicating the percentage likelihood of above- or below-normal temperatures and rainfall.

Anyone can access the forecasts on the APCC website by navigating to Climate Prediction - Global Subseasonal Prediction - MME Prediction.
