you can look at the internet for a forecast but as the competition closes 6 days before the forecast date it wont be great. There might be clues published through the course of the competition so keep an eye on this thead.

The best advice i can give to you is to keep a record of the observed weather conditions and look at patterns and trends, then look at long range forecasts and maps from online weather agencies in order to make your forecast. Also try looking for the June weather averages for the location.

This round is alot harder than the first round as it was very easy and everyone gained points.

If you are really stuck or need help on reading weather maps and charts then u2u me.

Please note i will not help you to produce your forecast just simply aid you getting information in order for you to produce your forecast.
