The development of seasonal forecast systems for southern Africa is presented, followed by the justification why certain model configurations have been selected in order to optimise seasonal forecast performance. The skill of the HadGEM3 coupled model of the UK Met Office as seasonal forecast system for SADC and for the global oceans is also presented, as well as examples of application forecasts of crop yield and streamflow.
