-and-whiskers plots of predicted precipitation and the observed 4-day box average of 37 mm as a dashed line. This value is much smaller than the maximum values discussed in section 3 due to area averaging during the gridding process of the ENSEMBLES data (see details in Haylock et al. 2008 ) and large spatial inhomogeneities. Global models cannot be expected to capture this mesoscale spatial variability. Therefore, the forecasts are more useful as indicators of a potentially significant rain event than for
