March 2018 Boards weather forecast contest

    Here comes the March 2018 contest, good luck ...

    1. Predict the IMT (mean of five locations, 1981-2010 normal value was 6.8 C).

    2. Predict the MAX (highest value at met.ie regular reporting locations)

    3. Predict the MIN (lowest value at met.ie regular reporting locations)

    4. Predict the PRC (as a percentage of normal), average of eleven locations

    5. Predict the SUN (as a percentage of normal), average of six locations

    6. BONUS -- Predict the maximum temperature for the 17th at Claremorris.

    Deadline is 0300h on Thursday, 1st of March. Usual penalties will apply. On top of those, any MIN forecast submitted after the same value is recorded can only score a maximum of 15/20, if I feel that a close estimate that later verifies to score 16 to 19, that will also be reduced to 15.

    (e.g., there's an hourly report of -10 on 2nd of March, you enter after that with -10.2 guessing the decimal, and actual is -9.9, raw score of 17 goes to 15).

    This applies whether you actually consulted the data or not to protect the on time entrants (because we can't tell that).

    Note: Slightly late entries on 1st will have a sliding value capping the score, the reduced score cap will be 18 from 0305h to 0600h, 17 for 0601 to 1200h and 15 after 1201h. This will not apply to predictions on the night of 1st-2nd if the 2nd verifies, instead the partial 0305h to 0600h will be 17 and anything 0601h and later will have the 15 cap applied.

    NormaL is already basically screwed ... or else I am ...

    Think I have never before seen all 25 stations in the 22:00 ME's latest reports at -1 and lower. Stay warm and safe everywhere and think about your neighbours.

    Just for future reference, the above two will be -2 for late but no extra penalty applied to min temp score as there has not been a reading close to these predictions overnight.

    The following one, -3 for lateness but also no extra penalty for min score, prediction is beyond already recorded or obvious immediate values.

    Just have noticed that in rainfall

    Casement has 16.0mm but Dublin Airport has 132mm

    Is this a misprint?
