February 2011 Boards forecast contest

M.T. Cranium

As always, the usual five questions plus a bonus question ...

(1) IMT (deg C) -- the 1961-90 "normal" is 4.7 C.

(2) highest temperature at met.ie stations

(3) lowest temperature at met.ie stations

(4) percentage of normal precip (for about 14 met.ie stations)

(5) percentage of normal sunshine (for about 6 met.ie stations)

(6) Bonus -- what will be the max temp on Valentines' Day (14th) at Cork?

It helps me if you use this template:

(1) ..... (2) ..... (3) ..... (4) ..... (5) ..... (6)

Just replace the (x) with your answers, everything you add I have to remove or if you prefer to obliterate letters:

IMT ..... MAX ..... MIN ..... PRC ..... SUN ..... CORK14

---

Just as an example, when you add deg C, I have to remove it, when you add the % sign, I have to remove it, not that I mind, but it seems that people want to be helpful so this is the most helpful. Thanks -- MTC.

It's a sweet deal, you have to pretty much win the month to get a penalty.

Anyway, open for business until 2359h ... then cometh the dreaded table.

January results are posted, and winter forecast contest is updated.
