Weather forecasts, seasonal forecasts and climate projections can in principle help their users make good decisions, but using the information they provide in a optimal way is far from easy. Decisions that users may need to make include the question of whether to act now or wait for the next forecast, decide which of a series of lagged forecasts to use and more. I will present an extension of the cost-loss model applied to weather forecasts to help users "decide when they should decide", and will aslo explore a number of ways in which forecast change information can be presented, from changes in forecast values to changes in forecast skill. I conclude by suggesting that forecast providers might consider presenting forecast change information in order to help forecast users make better decisions.
