1. Predict the IMT for October, the 1981-2010 average was 10.2 C (up from 10.1 in 1971-2000 and same as 10.2 in 1961-1990) -- figures thanks to Deep Easterly.

2. Predict the maximum temperature for October at any met.ie station as reported in the Monthly Summary.

3. Predict the minimum temperature for October at any met.ie station as reported in the Monthly Summary.

4. Predict the rainfall as percentage of normal values, as reported for eleven met-ie stations in the Monthly Summary.

5. Predict the sunshine as percentage of normal values, as reported for however many (seems to be holding at six) met-ie stations in the Monthly Summary.

6. Bonus question. What will be the heaviest daily rainfall at any station that reports on the met.ie website? Answer in mm to nearest tenth (e.g. 20.3).

TEMPLATE ...

IMT .... MAX .... MIN .... PRC .... SUN .... xx.x

Normal deadlines apply -- end of Monday 1st for on time entries, slight penalty on 2nd, more severe penalty on 3rd, effectively closed 0300h 4th.
