It's a common misconception, climatology doesn't predict weather, but climate. And predicting average of weather is easier than predicting specific weather. It's the same as in a casino. They cannot tell what will be the next throw of dice (weather). But they can calculate (predict) that you will, in the long-term average, lose (climate).
