A new empirical system based on multiple linear regression for producing probabilistic forecasts of seasonal surface air temperature and precipitation across the globe has been produced1 (see the original publication here). In particular, the global CO2-equivalent concentration is taken as the primary predictor.

Even though ENSO is known to be the main driver of skill at seasonal time-scales (Manzanas et al., 20141), other processes such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation, the Indian Ocean dipole, feedbacks between the ocean and the atmosphere
