    February 2013 contest

    1. Predict the IMT, an average of five selected stations, which has averaged 5.3 C for the 30-yr period 1981-2010.

    2. Predict the highest daily maximum at any reporting (met.ie) station.

    3. Predict the lowest daily minimum at any reporting (met.ie) station.

    4. Predict the monthly precip as a percentage of normal (for 11 reporting stations in met.ie Monthly Summary)

    5. Predict the monthly sunshine as a percentage of normal (for 6 reporting stations in met.ie Monthly Summary)

    6. Bonus -- Predict the maximum number of hours of sunshine at any station in Ireland on Valentine's Day (14th Feb). Make your forecast to nearest tenths of an hour and note the max value of 10.0.

    To enter, look for the updated form in a later post (should have this available before weekend is over, don't enter in the January form) or if you still prefer, enter by template:

    TEMPLATE

    IMT ..... MAX ..... MIN .... PRC ..... SUN ..... Sun-14th

    Deadline for entries 0300h Saturday 2nd Feb so you have all day on Friday and most of the Friday night to work this out.

    Late forecast penalty structure has changed from previous years. Please take careful notice ... it is basically 5 pts per half day late starting 0300h on the 2nd. This converts to (for example) 20 pts penalty on entries 1501 3rd to 0300 4th.
