August 2016 Boards forecast contest

M.T. Cranium

1. Predict the IMT (Irish mean temperature, an average for five stations, Casement, Claremorris, Mullingar, Oak Park and Shannon). The 1981-2010 "normal" value is 15.1 C.

2. Predict the MAX, the highest daily maximum at any reporting station as confirmed at end of month in the Monthly Summary.

3. Predict the MIN, the lowest daily minimum at any reporting station as confirmed at end of month in the Monthly Summary.

4. Predict the PRC, the average rainfall expressed as percentage of normal at the eleven stations we normally use, which include the five mentioned for IMT and also Ballyhaise, Belmullet, Malin Head, Johnstown Castle, Cork and Valentia.

5. Predict the SUN, the total sunshine expressed as a percentage of normal at the six stations used (Belmullet, Casement, Dublin, Shannon, Cork, Valentia).

6. For a BONUS question, predict the heaviest calendar day rainfall (as reported in daily data and "yesterday's weather" on met.ie site) and the location. This should be in mm to one decimal place.


Enter by the deadline of 0300h on Monday 1st of August, or take the slight penalties that are assigned on first, increasing on second.

Good luck !!

pauldry

54mm in sherkin midnight to 6PM Unbeatable total on 1st August quite possible.

waterways

sherkin should get the points and we zero.

pauldry

I thought 48.2mm was a joke prediction and yet its bust

Please excuse the lateness, couldn't be helped

Was going to say 66.2mm sherkin on the 1st, but I'll skip that in the interests of fairness and go for something crazy instead

Hmmmm controversial.

Surely therel be 120mm at some place before 31st n it wont matter.

Actually Sherkin has already matched or nearly matched its rainfall for augusts of previous few years.
