    1. Predict the IMT, mean temperature at five locations in Ireland (Claremorris, Casement, Mullingar, Oak Park, Shannon) for September, 2019. The 1981-2010 "normal" value is 13.1 deg C.

    2. Predict the MAX temperature at any regularly reporting Met-E station as reported in the Monthly Summary (and daily in the "yesterday's weather" section of their website), during September.

    3. Predict the MIN temperature during September (see 2 above for overview).

    4. Predict the PRC (rainfall at this time of year) as a percentage of normal values (1981-2010) at eleven locations, namely Ballyhaise, Cork, Malin Head, Belmullet, Cork, Johnstown Castle, and the five locations for the IMT (section 1 above), during September.

    5. Predict the SUN (sunshine) as a percentage of normal values (1981-2010) at six locations, Belmullet, Casement, Dublin, Shannon, Cork and Valentia, during September.

    6. BONUS -- Predict the maximum wind gust (in knots) at any of the 25 locations that report daily as per reports on yesterday's weather on the met.ie website. No date or location (my brain needs recovery time after those summer bonus questions, thanks again to JPmarn for helping out).

    The deadline for on-time entries will be 0300h Sunday 1st of September. The late penalties will be 1 point per four hour (or portion) late entry for the first 36 hours (to 1500h 2nd) then 1 point per two hours (or portion) to 0300h 3rd and one point per hour after that.

    Good luck, or bonne chance if you prefer.

    I am starting a wind gust watch this month for a bonus question. There will not be a post every day only when there is a significant high gust been reported as from the yesterday's weather page on met.ie. There seem to be some deep depressions in guidance for our direction in the next 16 days or so including a risk on some runs on the remnants of the now Cat 5 Hurricane Dorian coming our way. And if even the centre of the storm should head towards Iceland it would generate some high gusts especially in the north.

    So just for a start.
    35kt/65kmh at Finner Camp on the 1st.

    Max Gust now 41kts 76 kmh recorded at Malin Head on the 2nd.

    There were no other gusts quoted on yesterday's weather page on met.ie for that day as quoted gusts must be gale force or higher 34kt 62 kmh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,473 ✭✭✭Jpmarn


    Max gust is now 50kts 93kmh recorded at Malin Head on the 4th.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,279 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    After one week, IMT was 13.5 which is 0.6 deg below normal.

    MAX and MIN probably yet to come.

    PRC was 54% of normal, quite dry in the southeast to near normal in the north.

    SUN averaged 92% of normal (552/600).

    Max gust to date (thanks JPmarn) is 50 kts with contenders appearing mid-week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,473 ✭✭✭Jpmarn


    Min recorded on the 8th is 4.4°C recorded in Moorepark Co. Cork. There is potential for Max to be recorded next weekend or into next week. Potential for the warmest weather ever for the ploughing in Co. Carlow next week.
