MONTHLY SEASONAL FACTORS
15(3)f
Preceding (e) values
multiplied by the
Multiplier (average is
outside range)
15(3)g
We can see from the previous
values that the average of the
SF x Multiplier is above the
range 1 – 1.5 as set out in the
TAR NC. To bring them within
range the correction factor is
applied, which is calculated by
dividing 1.5 by the initial sea-
sonal factor

DAILY/WITHIN DAY SEASONAL FACTORS
15(3)f
Preceding (e) values
multiplied by the
Multiplier (average is
outside the range)
15(3)g
We can see from the previous
values that the average of the
SF x Multiplier is above the
range 1 – 3 as set out in the
TAR NC. To bring them within
range the correction factor is
applied, which is calculated
by dividing 3 by the initial
seasonal factor

These calculations derive the monthly and daily/within-day Seasonal Factors. The
figure below represents the forecasted flows and the calculated seasonal factors for
the monthly seasonal factors.
