The main results of the analysis of large-scale atmospheric circulation in the Northern Hemisphere for the last winter of 2019/2020 are presented. The quality of consensus forecasts of air temperature and precipitation issued during the 17th session of NEACOF-17 are discussed, with the presentation of forecast skill scores calculated for the territory of Northern Eurasia and for enlarged regions. The main features of the thermal state of the ocean and large-scale atmospheric circulation for the coming summer of 2020 are analyzed. The forecast of surface air temperature and precipitation anomalies for the upcoming summer of 2020 is formulated in agreement with the experts who participated in NEACOF-18.

Keywords: consensus forecast, air temperature, precipitation, large-scale atmospheric circulation, hydrodynamic models, sea surface temperature
