Climate is different from weather. A climate prediction is based on long spatial scale, while weather can change within a few miles. So, it can rain in your house and not on 4 blocks away, and one cannot predict that.
IPCC is not telling how the weather is gonna be, but what is the temperature trend due to pollution/deforestation.
Also, inital conditions on numerical weather forecast models are crucial, and that's why some places have better forecasts (N hemisphere better than S hemisphere, 'cause SH is full of oceans and in loco data isn't available).
