1.5° rise from pre industrial levels is threshold which scientists mentioned as something that should be avoided because it is a point which can lead to escalation in warming.
The current assessment is one of upcoming years will reach that threshold and 50% chance that ALL upcoming years will be in this region. More info - click on the pic
Seasonal models show January-March like-average rainfall with warmer than average days, meaning not much rainy days. These kind of forecast has to be taken with caution. Looking into long-range runs of a month ahead we see temps above average with like average rain.
What kind of Winter is expected?
Seasonal models shows above-average rainfall with warmer than average days, meaning not much rainy days. These kind of forecast has to be taken with caution. Looking into long-range runs of a month ahead we see temps above average with no indication of rain.
The stage of pre-summer is delicate. It could bring 40 degrees heatwave and also 23 degrees cool days. Either way, the systems of summer are not well established in a way they prevent extreme conditions, so in conjunction with jet stream it can give us rain and thunder.
After mid June the systems of summer are strong enough, so Summery like weather is the main output from there.
In the picture are the history events of rain in June.
Copernicus service of EU has warned it could be the worst drought in 500 years. Snow has melted before its time. Farmers across Hungary have reported "historic" drought damage. The lack of water has reduced or suspended hydroelectric and thermo electric power. Rivers are drying out.

Seasonal forecast are not something which is trustworthy, but we will say what there is.
We are in situation of "La-Ninia" (cold ocean water near Peru). Connection to the middle east is weak, but in the past, in average, the rain seasons were weaker.
We are after 2 very good winters. There have been some occasions with 3 in a row, but that is not common.
Bottom line is, more chance of below average of rain and warmer than average temperature.
From the data in the site: If we compare to the same time in a year, only on 15/12/1878 we had the same amount of snow.
If compare to entire season only on 05/02/1950 we had the same (more or less) amount.
This hurricanes season is very quite. Till (almost) mid September no hurricane developed in the Atlantic. Why?
A luck in humidity and high vertical wind shear causing the tropical storms to stay small and not become hurricane.
