Weather forecasts to 90 days are scientifically indefensible

The comments from the science community when Accuweather’s started making 45 day weather forecasts were to put it mildly- blistering, and now that they have extended them to 90 days it’s no different.

Forecasts of this type beyond 7-10 days (at the most) are simply not possible. If someone tells you otherwise, they’re wrong, because we are in the realm of palm reading and horoscopes here, not science.

I agree completely with Jason Samenow from the Capital Weather Gang at the Washington Post “[AccuWeather] is simply peddling a useless product to people who don’t know better”.

These forecasts are actually even worse than the Farmer’s Almanac, since they give rain chances and temperatures for exact points months into the future!
