The Climate Prediction Center (CPC) is a branch of NOAA that provides expert forecasts and analysis of climate patterns. It monitors and predicts weather trends over weeks, months, and seasons, helping communities, farmers, and policymakers plan for upcoming conditions like droughts or heavy rains. By analyzing data and climate signals, CPC offers outlooks that inform decision-making related to agriculture, water resources, and disaster preparedness, contributing to better resilience and planning on a regional to national level.
