DOCARCH

High of 16.1c confirmed at Finner for yesterday (08th).

WolfeEire

16.7c at Mace Head at 1pm.

edit
17.3c at 2pm

pauldry

17.6c Mace HD on Ogimet

M.T. Cranium

And confirmed as 17.6 on met.ie also … IMT was 8.7 C after nine days and (edit) 8.8 after Monday 10th, will of course drop quite fast next several days, will be interesting to see if we ever get back above 8 C later in the month.

Tae laidir

Dublin Airport equaled min of -1.3 yesterday.

Tae laidir

Dunsany -2.5 yesterday.

pauldry

Oh dear already -1c in Mt Dillon. -5c or below incoming. That's me screwed for MIN...again. Met Eireann are useless at guessing it too.

appledrop

Well it definitely got down to -4 in some places last night.

We will have to wait for confirmed figures.

pauldry

Ya Markree and Mt Dillon. Think -5.1c was coldest in NI so prob a tad above that.

M.T. Cranium

After two weeks …

IMT _ 7.7 C, second week average 7.3 (0.5 above normal)

MAX _ 17.6

MIN _ was -2.5, now around -4 (15th)

PRC _ 24% (second week dry, only 12%)

SUN _ 118% (second week 165%)

Max 17th Dub A _ entries posted in order a few days back.

appledrop

-4.6 confirmed for Mt Dillion.

M.T. Cranium

I have seen 8.0 C on meteociel as max for Dub(A) but for any value below 10.4 these would be our scores (except for any potential 1 or 2 point bonus for forecasts within 0.1 C) …

DOCARCH

Confirmed high of 8.0c at Dublin AP yesterday.

pauldry

19c in Kerry currently.

WolfeEire

18.5c was the max I think, but Met may got it to 19 in between the half hour periods.

pauldry

18.8c in Shannon is Ogimet.

appledrop

Yep 18.8 confirmed by Met Eireann.

M.T. Cranium

After three weeks …

IMT _ 7.7 C, third week average 7.7 (0.6 above normal)

MAX _ 18.8

MIN _ -4.6

PRC _ 29% (third week average, only 38%) (22nd est added 10% so now at 39%)

SUN _ 130% (second week 155%)

Max 17th Dub A _ 8.0 forecasts scored in order a few days back.

M.T. Cranium

After four weeks …

IMT _ 7.9 C, fourth week average 8.6 (1.1 above normal) _ likely final value 7.9 or 8.0

MAX _ 18.8 _ probably set

MIN _ -4.6 _ very likely set

PRC _ 48% (fourth week average 85%) (29th stays on 48%, probably back to 45% for final value)

SUN _ 126% (fourth week 112%) (est final 125%)

Max 17th Dub A _ 8.0 forecasts scored in order back on 17th.

_______

For PRC lowest forecasts were 75, 76 and 77 per cent. Min progression will definitely be applied to PRC scoring.

SUN highest forecasts 120%, will not need scoring boost.

MIN scoring will be boosted by 1 point for lower scores and some zero scores, Artane2002 and sryanbruen have a hammer, and progression of raw scores was not very far into boost territory anyway.

pauldry

Max 19c plus possible 31st so far.

WolfeEire

I think 18c at Shannon may have been max so far. Temps look to be dropping again.

DOCARCH

Mount Dillon definitely was reporting 19c earlier. Could be 18.5c to 19.5c (give or take a smidge!). Probably have to wait until tommorrow and see.

pauldry

Nearly sure Mt Dillon got 19c . Well see tomorrow.

Looks like it was 18.6c or thereabouts . Will be close.

DOCARCH

Mount Dillon 19.0c yesterday.

M.T. Cranium

The late warmth also pushed IMT to 8.2 C.

Will confirm all values and score contest tomorrow.
