Notes -- I added a decimal zero to any rounded forecast temps, and standardized the place names a bit.

Con Sensus is determined by median values of temp and dates (one or two were not given), and the place is Oak Park because that had the most mentions, followed by Casement, Shannon, Dublin and Claremorris.

Entries are now closed, and we'll post maximum values as they come along.

M.T. Cranium

Just for fun, I have regrouped the forecasts by date. One entry had no date or even a range of dates, so that one is at the end of this table. Two had no date in August so they are with Con Sensus. The contest is still to be decided mainly on temperature, but this will be a contest within a contest.

Warmest day ahead -- by date

Phoenix Park reported 24.3 C on Monday 23rd. This will need to be confirmed as the high for July in the Monthly Summary to stand (whatever is reported in that publication is the basis for all our contests when it comes to maximum or minimum temperatures). I think there is some chance of having this value beaten tomorrow or Thursday in any case. So pretty much the whole field are still "alive" in this contest as far as temperature goes, same goes for the date now that I think about the implications of yesterday being "it. " (because my first reaction was, I'm out of that section, but not if yesterday wins)
