In the very short amount of time that we have available to us here it is very hard to go into the science. It would be very interesting to really delve into the science. A friend of mine who is very interested in this area claims there is a concern that forecasting programmes or modelling, even with supercomputer systems, in the five to ten-day forecasting range find it really difficult to cope with the change in weather patterns caused by climate change. In other words, the system is changing so much at the moment that some modelling systems are unable to measure some of the five and ten-day weather forecasts that we would expect to be able to do.
