    2.6c at Mullingar

    That seems very low for August

    Is it?

    Mullingar's lowest August temps since 2000 (also some historical hot Summers):

    Year|Minimum temperature
    2017|4.3
    2016|5.8
    2015|4.0
    2014|3.7
    2013|6.6
    2012|6.2
    2011|3.7
    2010|3.9
    2009|6.3
    2008|7.1
    2007|7.8
    2006|4.5
    2005|6.3
    2004|4.3
    2003|5.5
    2002|7.0
    2001|4.2
    2000|4.7
    1995|6.5
    1989|3.0
    1983|4.7
    1976|4.3
    1975|2.6


    Extremely unusual to be that low and it's near early August too, closest comparison in the above was 1975 which had the exact same minimum. Looking at Mullingar's monthly record low minimum temperatures, the record low for August was 2.1c on 31st August 1986. So quite an unusually cold temperature for the station for August.

    And yes -2.7c is the record low for August in Ireland which occurred on 30th August 1964 at Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow.

    Coldest August nights since 2014 I believe.

    Data comes from Met Éireann.

    Next years bonus question for August could be along the lines of "How much cloud cover for the Perseid meteor shower" or something along those lines.

    That's one of the hardest things to get any sort of grasp on, even the high resolution charts are not in agreement a few hours out...

    Back to some internet time as we visit family on the last leg of our trip ... so getting ready for the possible rainfall totals from Ernesto (looks to be somewhat compromised by midnight being in the rainfall timing period), highest value I found in a very brief search of promising days was

    22.9 mm Markree on 1st

    (close second there was Knock)

    anyone aware of anything higher than that on a later date?

    will be checking more carefully before month is over in any case.

    Saw a few 20mm readings MT but August 1st was wettest day. And 22mm in Markree is the highest I see too

    Newport had a lot yesterday so see what that is.

    Thanks, that 37.0 at Newport goes into first place for now, with those other two as second and third. Ernesto has a chance maybe for Finner or Malin Head if all the rain falls before midnight.

    IMT now on 15.7. I will update the PRC and SUN tomorrow using the ag report to blend with the values I gave for the 11th (12-18 in that report). But from today's ag report and obs, would estimate that PRC is now around 80% and SUN as low as 70%. The warmth is fading slower than the drought or sunshine apparently in the summer of 2018. However, it remains dry in a few parts of the south.

    sryanbruen may be putting a big hurt on us with his 70% sun forecast, only rameire at 85% went much below average and tae laidir with MrSkinner at 95% the only other supporters of cloudiness.

    A reminder -- anyone who gets a natural 9 or 10 in a 10-point category needing minimum progression scoring assistance reduces the boost by half, so let's say sryanbruen scores 9 or 10, then the next score should be 8 or 9 but would be cut to whatever half that boost was, perhaps not a big cut there for 85% but the cuts at 95% look like being 2 points in that scenario and most of the others around that also. (4 to 8 would reduce to 6, for example, for 100% vs actual of 70%). We rarely see this rule applied, although I can recall one case where min progression was needed even though most extreme forecast was more extreme than tha actual, just wasn't close enough to score enough points.

    Not as sure that we'll need any scoring assistance on PRC as it would be a long way to go to the higher end of those forecasts (again sryanbruen at 140%).

    IMT up to 15.9 after a warm 18th, new MAX of 26.6 at Oak Park (AFAIK).

    PRC after 18 days is about 72% of normal. No 24h (calendar day at least) rainfall amounts quite matched the current top three with Claremorris at 20.2 mm tops for 18th and Ernesto.

    SUN is now at around 73% of normal.

    We have one more day of travelling left to complete our journey and should be back to more regular contest duties by Tuesday.

    That low turned out to be 2.2 C and did not budge the previous extreme MIN we noted, 1.2 C.

    Probably one more chance to push the MIN down around Thursday. MAX probably set now, 26.6 as far as we know.

    Is the third going to be a bank holiday there, I am really relying on the MS this month and it would not appear until 5th if so.

    The IMT is now on 15.8 C. Expect a finish near 15.5 C.

    PRC appears to be close to 95 to 100% with the north generally 120% and the south generally closer to 50%. Yesterday moved it up at least 10%. I don't expect it to change much after this week with small amounts to be added, would expect an outcome near 90%.

    SUN likely around 75% of normal. This week may help it somewhat.



    Yesterday's rainfalls entered into play in the monthly contest, this is the revised list:


    RANK __ AMOUNT __ LOCATION ___ DATE __ rank of station for contest

    _ 1 _____ 37.0 _____ Newport ___ 17th _____1

    Provisional scoring for August 2018

    It could be a few days into September before everything is verified. This is the approximate state of affairs using projections from the values calculated yesterday. Note if you read that yesterday, I changed the numbers for PRC after doing a more careful check of the data, so far if it didn't rain again to end of the month, we have a guaranteed 82% while 26 days should reach just about that value if they have normal amounts. So with a less rainy pattern ahead, I will now go with 90%.

    About one third of the field scored zero for MAX. I decided against minimum progression when it appeared that quite a few forecasts were
    quite close to the actual value and it seemed unfair to boost some scores when there was no room to boost the higher ones.

    The situation for MIN was a bit different, all scores were in need of a boost so I applied the standard minimum progression there.

    Location points for max rainfall ... if this holds, only one guess for closest location (Newport) and no guesses for either Moore Park or Markree in 2nd and 3rd so shifted the two points to any of 4th to 6th Belmullet, Knock, Oak Park, and one point to any of the remaining top ten including ties, which then included Malin Head, Johnstown Castle, Finner, Mountdillon, Mace Head or Valentia.

    An updated version of this scoring table will appear when all data are confirmed. It could be as late as 4-5 September.

    Then we can get around to the summer portion of the four seasons contest, and the annual update.

    Yes, can't guarantee it will end up just like that, but I think most of us just thought the warmth would continue a little more than it did, with the resulting dry and sunny conditions along for the ride, but it wasn't quite like that, without totally becoming a cool or overly wet month.

    Anyway, well done if that is the result or close to it.

    You typically wouldn't win a monthly by sticking to normal figures. That is how August 2018 was, you would win by sticking to the given figures averaged out over several years. NormaL usually don't do that well in a typical month in Ireland.

    Final value for IMT is 15.2, all scores lower by 3 (NormaL up 3).

    Final value for PRC is 88%, slight changes to most scores.

    SUN probably will end up near 80% as final seven days average 87.5%, previously had been running a bit lower than 80%.

    Will confirm all contest numbers from MS on 4th or 5th, summer seasonal scoring and annual updates to follow then.

    Location points for max rainfall ... if this holds, only one guess for closest location (Newport) and no guesses for either Moore Park or Markree in 2nd and 3rd so shifted the two points to any of 4th to 6th Belmullet, Knock, Oak Park, and one point to any of the remaining top ten including ties, which then included Malin Head, Johnstown Castle, Finner, Mountdillon, Mace Head or Valentia.

    Congrats to JCX BXC, John mac and Adam240610 for leading the pack in August.

    Annual updates and four seasons report will follow.

    Note: The column headed "Jul rank" shows previous month's position in total score. The July table had the same column header but it should have read June rank then. I was on holiday etc etc. The order of this table will switch over to best 7 of 9 in September and from then on will be best 8 of 10 in Oct, 9 of 11 in Nov and 10 of 12 in Dec. ... Ranks for your best 6 of 8 scores appear after those totals (last entry).

    Congrats to Pauldry who remains ahead of Con Sensus in the total score and best 6 of 8, and to waterways and sryanbruen who are ahead or keeping pace with Con in the best 6 of 8 portion. Dacogawa and Rikand are also close in the total score.

    Next and last report will be four seasons summer portion of contest update ...
