    Well done to Force Eleven and also to JFK Ireland, assuming there is no change over the next few hours!


    ( I scored them as I won't be online again for at least a day).

    Think the Table needs to be updated , :)unless I have the scoring wrong .

    km79 Should have 9
    John Mac Should have 7
    irish1967 Should have 6


    ( unless we get a gust of 79 in Malin overnight :D)

    Don;t think so. Base is 66 knots, so every knot of error loses 1 point from 15. Therefore your prediction of 79 gives you 2 points as you were 13 knots off, i.e. 15-13 = 2.

    No John, you're right ... the five points for the correct guess of Malin Head were not added to the points for wind speed for the three contestants you mentioned.

    It may get rather windy again at Malin Head tomorrow but I doubt that it will exceed 66 knots.

    Nobody thought of adding Castlederg to the Contest list did they, it wasn't far behind Malin in top gust speeds.

    Oddly, the highest gust at Malin Head is down as just 62 Kts on yesterday's reports:

    Either that is a mistake or yesterday's reading of 66kts was.

    Thanks for organizing that contest, Tonynator (the), send me a PM and explain where you found that table, me likee (it sortee).

    I think Malin Head came in about as expected by many of us, but Belmullet fell a bit short perhaps because the peak wind there was before the diurnal max at mid-day, which is why Dublin almost equalled it later. My Casement squall went AWOL which was about a 99% certainty to start with. I don't think it showed up anywhere else from reports here and radar watching.

    There may have been a stronger gust at Arranmore in Donegal (I am going by a report on IWO for this) which is not met-ie official, namely 135 km/hr which is about 73 knots.

    trick with the Tonyators neat table is to save the value in spreadsheet and output with | values not commas OR output as , and use notepad to replace every , with a |

    The 'head' of the table looks like.

    Name|Station|Station Points|Max Gust|Gust Points|Total Points
    JFKIRELAND|Malin|5|64 Knots|13|18

    and then paste in the ss values like that one for jfk.

    finish the ss values with a [ / table ] tag and no spaces in it.
