_____________________________________________________________

Con Sensus remains same with 24 forecasts now ... there were enough similar
forecasts that the additional one didn't really shift the values.

... our group seems to favour a warm, dry and sunny May, let's hope this proves accurate.

The max for Sunday was 23.0 at PP (22.0 on Saturday) and that's going to lock in the bonus scoring even if a warmer temperature shows up in the next few days which seems unlikely.

Our warmest forecasts of 22.5 (200motels, Dasa29) as well as 22.3 from BLIZZARD7 will get ten (not three MTC) points.

Nine points for waterways (22.1), Rikand and JPmarn (22.0).

Scoring in pairs below that unless ties create different outcomes, so that means ...

8 pts _ Lumi and M.T. Cranium (21.8)

7 pts _ Rameire and MrSkinner (21.5)

6 pts _ DOCARCH 21.1, Pauldry and JCXBXC at 21.0, also Con and NormaL 21.0

5 pts _ Dacogawa 20.9

4 pts _ Tae laidir and John mac 20.8

3 pts _ sryanbruen, Artane2002, Kindredspirit and sunflower3 all 20.5

1 pts _ Bsal (20.1), Joe Public (19.9), mickger844posts (19.8)

0 pts _ sdanseo (17.8)

=================================================

In terms of 23.0 being the monthly MAX, that would suit two very well (kindredspirit and sdanseo) and it is already above the MAX predictions of four others. I will be back tomorrow with the first week stats.
