1. A method for predicting an alarm condition, comprising:
monitoring data received from a plurality of environmental sensors, each of the plurality of environmental sensors providing data relating to a different environmental condition; and
detecting anomalous data received from a first of the plurality of environmental sensors; wherein:
when anomalous data is detected from the first of the plurality of environmental sensors triggering an alarm prediction step whereby an expected reading from a second of the plurality of environmental sensors is used to predict whether an alarm condition is likely to occur at a future time; and
when it is predicted that an alarm condition is likely to occur at a future time, providing a notification or alert message that an alarm condition is expected to occur at a future time.
