Monsoons impact the economy, agriculture, and health of two-thirds of the world's population, making accurate precipitation predictions crucial. We assess the skill of the climate models from the sixth Climate Model Intercomparison Project using hindcasts from the Decadal Climate Prediction Project (Component A). The multi-model ensemble-mean shows predictive skill for summer monsoon precipitation 1 to 9 years ahead, varying by model, region, and lead-time. Skill is highest in northern Africa but low over East and South Asia, where model performance varies widely. We assess the sources of prediction skill and show that improved predictions in these regions depend on better simulation of externally forced responses and Pacific Ocean temperatures.
