February 2024 Boards weather forecast contest

M.T. Cranium

After first week ...

IMT _ 8.2 C (3.0 above normal)

MAX _ 14.7

MIN _ -1.0

PRC _ 83% of normal

SUN _ 39.3% of normal

Max 14th Newport __ GFS shows 10 C for this

pauldry

Rain gone above normal after today I'd imagine. Sun has taken a holiday since January. In Sligo I'd say wev only had 7 or 8 hours since January and a full 0 today on day 8.

M.T. Cranium

I may be holding a big hammer for PRC but so far projections fall between the wide goalposts of my forecast (184%) and second highest 110% (dasa29). The midpoint of that large gap is 147%. If that were the outcome, raw scores would all be 3 or less. I may need to ask around how to score this if we end up in that zone, probably some kind of cap on top progression level of 10/15 would be fair to everyone. The hammer only falls between 177 and 191, otherwise it's just the standard boost.

Tae laidir

Looks like we could all be in trouble for IMT and MIN as well.

pauldry

14c on the 14th is not out of the question. A low scoring month looks likely for most.

It's a leap year so the agony will be dragged out longer 😀

pauldry

Aha! That's why MT went for 184percent rain. There's a flood coming Feb 29th!!

appledrop

I think most of us did OK last month, so this month will be pay back with nil points😁

WolfeEire

Me looking at MTC's precip forecast on February 1st and then seeing the precip accumulation charts for the next two weeks today

Tae laidir

Moore Park -2.2 yesterday.

Tae laidir

Newport hovering around 11.

Another high score for MT.

pauldry

11.3c I think was max from WOW or 11.4c

M.T. Cranium

Scoring for Bonus Max 14th Newport (11.4 C)

and f.y.i., scoring for MIN if result is -3.2 or above (-3.5 is our high forecast; full minimum progression would apply at an outcome of -3.2 or higher as top raw score will be less than 18. If result is 3.3 to 3.7, we get a hammer from Tazio (reduced boosts), but it won't be severe because of the spread of forecasts vs min progression. If we see a reading below -3.7 this discussion is irrelevant, scoring will probably go closer to raw scores.

I have left in the other categories but no scoring suggestions yet. At the rate things are going, could require minimum progression on PRC and once again a hammer situation would only apply if outcome is 177-191 (to get a raw score of 13-15).

Only two forecasts were above the outcome, and not by very much. Back later with a week two update.

DOCARCH

11.4c max. confirmed for Newport yesterday.

M.T. Cranium

After two weeks ...

IMT _ 7.3 C (2.0 above normal) second week average 6.4 C (1.0 above).

MAX _ 14.7

MIN _ -2.2

PRC _ 142% of normal, second week wet (201%).

SUN _ 66.5% of normal, second week near average (93.7%).

Max 14th Newport __ 11.4 C __ scored in a separate post above

Quite a variety on current guidance, IMT will probably rise to 8 or above before dropping back; PRC does look fairly solid but I suspect it will end up in a big gap between 110 and 184. SUN is bound to improve but will be struggling to get past 80%.

In scoring post for bonus, I also ran minimum progression on MIN but we may not need it, if it drops below -4.5 we probably won't.

M.T. Cranium

After three weeks ...

IMT _ 8.2 C (2.8 above normal) third week average a very high 10.1 C (4.5 above).

MAX _ 14.7

MIN _ -2.2

PRC _ 140% of normal, third week 138%.

SUN _ 75% of normal, third week est 90% (Cork data not available, but est 100%).

Max 14th Newport __ 11.4 C __ scored in a separate post earlier

Colder on current guidance, IMT will probably drop to around 7.2 by end of Feb, PRC still looks like it will end up in a big gap between forecasts of 110 and 184 per cent, it could fall back a bit after today keeps it close to 140%. SUN is bound to improve and will eventually get past 80%.

In scoring post for bonus, I also ran minimum progression on MIN but we may not need it, if it drops below -4.5 we probably won't. Not likely to do so but Tuesday 27 Feb was looking frosty on guidance; MAX is surprisingly low considering the current IMT, but we're probably done now.

Over in Britain the CET was last reported at 8.7 C and the record is 7.9 (way back in 1779), also the past week's average of 10.7 there is an all-time high value for February.

I suppose with it being a leap year I can post a fourth week report a day before it's all done.

M.T. Cranium

Counting today's reported rainfalls the PRC will end up just about in the centre of the large gap in forecasts (centre being 147%), possibly a bit lower (I have it at 132% now). I don't see any chance of it getting close to 184% but in any case, will score from minimum progression using 13/15 as top score as a slight nod to our generally inaccurate group performance. The IMT will also need to be scored from minimum progression as it will be 7.6 or thereabouts (it was 7.66 after 27 days, would likely be 7.70 after 28 and could drop a bit after 29th). In that case I will start from 24/25 and to be fair to all I will just score the forecasts as if 7.2 was the outcome, that will eliminate any odd effects of the rank ordering. A fourth week report will happen tomorrow and I may also post preliminary scoring then because we won't get a monthly summary until 4th (assuming it's not a bank holiday on 4th).

M.T. Cranium

After four weeks ...

IMT _ 7.7 C (2.5 above normal) fourth week average 6.0 C (0.1 above). Likely 7.6 finish.

MAX _ 14.7

MIN _ -2.2

PRC _ 142% of normal, fourth week 126%. (after today likely 140%)

SUN _ 85% of normal, fourth week 113%

Max 14th Newport __ 11.4 C __ scored in a separate post earlier

M.T. Cranium

IMT 7.6 and PRC 142% calculated, SUN in 85-90 range, will see MS on 4 Mar to verify actuals.

Early unofficial scoring later today if I can get to it.

Tae laidir

Remarkably poor forecasting this month.

IMT. 0 above, 25 below actual.

MAX. 25 above, 0 below actual.

MIN. 0 above, 25 below actual.

PRC. 1 (MTC) above, 24 below.

SUN. (85-90), say 88, 25 above, 0 below.

minimum progression:

IMT _ scored from 7.2 to maintain differentials (everyone got 4 extra points, except Cornerstonelad with raw score -2)

MAX _ classic hammer situation, mr stonewall (14.9) 18 goes to 20, rest of progression get mid-point of progression value and raw score

MIN _ classic minimum progression by rank order (nobody close to hammer)

PRC _ scored from 116 to give best forecasts (110) 13 of 15, mtc score at same error value (184-142=42, 142-42= 100).

SUN _ scoring does not need boost but scored from 90 no matter what outcome is (unless 91+ would then need revisions)

BONUS _ always scored from rank order anyway.

Scores will be placed in rank order when final values are established on 4th ... also annual scoring and four seasons updates will follow.

I will do a fairness check to see if raw scores to adjusted scores contain any irregular jogs. Everyone has added 20-30 to their raw scores at least.

M.T. Cranium

All the rain that fell on 1st would have been good for my 184% forecast (I worked out it would have taken PRC to 165%). ... Anyway, following you will find updated Feb scoring and annual scoring, since it's only two months, I combined the usual annual update with category scoring.

Four seasons report is also available (it will add on DEC scores) ...

... posting before confirming scores below, will report in this space if any changes were made after about 1200 today.

... after review of data in MS, all data are as estimated, no edits required ...

We will go with a slightly different format this year, seasonal winners will get 12 points, second to tenth will get 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 points, 11-20 will also get 2 points as will any forecaster with a total score of 150+ ... and all who participate (2/3 or 3/3) will get one point if not otherwise qualified. Con Sensus and NormaL will receive points but those will not affect contest points.

February 24 was a very tricky month to forecast. Despite long term forecasts of exceptional cold and widespread snow it has turned out much milder than normal. It was in contrast to January when the mean temperature was somewhat below normal. No extreme Max or Min. Much wetter and duller than expected.
