August 2014 Boards forecast contest

Just catching up, the IMT is 14.6 C, rainfall has been 155% of normal although varies from about 50% to 300% at various locations, and sunshine appears to be about 90% of normal. The bonus question so far is only 3 days above 8.0 hrs and the sunniest day so far was 11.3 hours on the 11th. That may seem low to some as there were about half a dozen more days with more than 6 hours but less than 8. Also it does not count today if that qualifies.

Mercy rule in force, 1.5 C at Mountdillon on Sunday morning. 18 pts to Waterways and 16 to DOCARCH, etc. Seem to recall this happening end of August in 2010, is that right? Or some other recent year.

Annual scoring update through August 2014
