The subject of this sentence is "forecasts" because "forecasts" is associated with the verb "are" (before "more likely"). You can find the subject of a sentence by finding what is associated with the verb or verbs in the sentence. "Forecasts" is not associated with the phrase "are we expecting a particularly hot summer or an unusually cold winter" because this phrase is an interjection, meaning it is not grammatically associated with the rest of the sentence.
