July 2023 Boards weather forecast contest

M.T. Cranium

1. Predict the IMT (average mean temp for five locations, Claremorris, Mullingar, Casement, Oak Park and Shannon) for July 2023. The 1981-2010 average is 15.5.
2. Predict the MAX temp at any of the 25 official locations listed daily on the met-ie website.
3. Predict the MIN (details same as above)
4. Predict the PRC (percentage of normal rainfall at eleven locations including the five in part one above and also Malin, Belmullet, Ballyhaise, Johnstown, Cork and Valentia.)
5. Predict the SUN (percentage of normal at six locations around Ireland).
6. BONUS _ Predict the highest daily minimum at any of the 25 locations reporting daily.

NOTE: I received an early forecast from Artane2002 which was provided because of an expected absence from the internet now, and I let them know what bonus question I would use. Meanwhile my forecast and NormaL are as follows:

M.T. Cranium _________15.6 _ 26.0 _ 5.5 _ 120 _ 085 __ 17.0

NormaL _____________ 15.5 _ 27.5 _ 4.5 _ 100 _ 100 __ 17.8

(will add Artane2002 to the table of forecasts, from what I recall the forecast is a bit warmer than mine but was made two weeks ago -- it may get revised in the thread anyway).

____________________________________

General consensus seems to be a warm July, moist and cloudy; a small faction are looking for an episode of extreme warm temps.

pauldry

Temperature in Pheonix Park 17 to 19c since midnight. Could be a max min contender.

appledrop

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120816564#Comment_120816564

Really surprised by that, such a bad start to July, we have been lucky to get 17 -19 as max value every day never mind max min!

pauldry

In the end Pheonix Park cooled down around 10pm so didn't set the High

Think it's Moore Park at 16.6c

Valentia was 19c at 1am but cold front meany it was 13c by 6am today

M.T. Cranium

After first week of July ...

IMT on 14.6, 0.3 below normal for the interval.

MAX 24.1, and MIN not tracked yet.

PRC 170% of normal.

SUN 84% of normal.

The high minimum so far is 16.6 C at Moorepark on 7th.

(keep in mind that the 24h day for max and min runs from 0100 to 0100 as it is 00z to 00z)

M.T. Cranium

The MIN appears to be 6.9 at Mullingar on 5th (Dublin came close on Sunday with 7.3 so I checked back).

Our highest MIN forecasts are 5.5 (from Sunflower3 and MTC) with tae laidir at 5.4.

The least extreme MAX forecasts were 25.2 from Gonzo and 26.0 from MTC and 27.5 from Rameire and Adam240610.

Tae laidir

And whilst we're on extremes, Dacogawa has the highest PRC @ 155.

M.T. Cranium

After two leaks, sorry weeks ...

IMT a stunning 15.1 C, the past week average was 15.6 near average (+0.1) although colder at some western locations. Models do not show much change in that trend and it will probably be a finish near our coldest forecasts or below perhaps in the mid to high 15 range.

MAX 24.1, MIN 6.9 _ the max could stand based on current models although a slight increase could occur on any reasonably warm day later in the month. Min is difficult to project in a cool but cloudy regime. Sooner or later a clear night could come along and drop that value considerably. Daily record lows in July are generally in the 2-4 C range.

PRC after 14th was at 230% of normal with the past week 290%. Adding on the rainfall today (grid average around 15 mm), the month is at 250% of normal and the guaranteed outcome (amount already fallen vs end of month normals) is 120%. Each further 8-10 mm will add 10% to that (approximately). Given the forecasts it seems very likely that the end result will be well above our highest forecast of 155% so you can expect scoring to be based on minimum progression. I think we'll be at that max forecast value by mid-week.

SUN now at 86% with week two average 87%. This will likely stay fairly static through the following week, some recovery towards normal may be possible if it brightens up in week four. If I had to guess today I would say end of month 90%.

The high minimum so far is 16.6 C. No obvious signs of a warmer reading any time soon.

M.T. Cranium

After three weeks,

IMT 15.0, third week average 14.7 was 1.0 below normal. This looks likely to finish below normal and below all forecasts but minimum progression scoring may not be required. If so it will be slight.

MAX 24.1 MIN 6.9

PRC now 221% of normal, with third week 203%. The outcome with 150% of normal quite possible now to end of July will be at least twice normal and this will definitely trigger minimum progression scoring.

SUN has improved to 90% as the third week managed to keep pace with normal ending up 98.5% despite the two Dublin stations running quite cloudy. The outcome for SUN may drop back towards 80%.

BONUS _ high minimum remains 16.6. We'll see if this can be increased but no clear signs.

M.T. Cranium

Early scoring estimates _ if no new extremes are recorded

This table is based on IMT of 15.2 and MAX, MIN, BONUS as they stand (see my previous post), PRC 200% and SUN 80%.

If anything happens to change any of those outcomes, I will adjust this preliminary scoring table.

____________________________________

Final scoring could look different but for now this is what we face if nothing changes ... Gonzo and MTC cannot improve PRC or BONUS, but a slight rise in high min could drop Gonzo a point or two, so we're locked in a battle, others can zoom past us if something were to change in any elements. A somewhat higher MAX not going beyond Gonzo's range could (a) improve his score by one and (b) introduce hammer scoring reductions for the rest of us. There does not appear to be hammer potential for MIN as so many forecasts are grouped together. By end of Thursday all chance for a PRC hammer will be washed away.

M.T. Cranium

MIN of 5.5 now recorded at Claremorris (25th) so the MIN scores may change a bit as minimum progression now not required or if so, a hammer situation applies. Will work it out later if no lower values appear.

Tae laidir

..

pauldry

No mins much below 10c between now and August so min is likely done.

M.T. Cranium

After four weeks ...

IMT on 15.1, fourth week average 15.5 was 0.1 below normal. Looks likely to finish on 15.2 or 15.3 now.

MAX 24.1 MIN 5.5 probably done.

PRC 211% of normal, fourth week 182% of normal, will probably finish around 200% at least.

SUN down to 85% with the fourth week average 68.5%.

No new high min, it remains 16.6 C.

A reposting of the scoring estimate, removing minimum progression from MIN, will take place soon, will wait to see if 16.6 holds up as high minimum overnight, think it will.

M.T. Cranium

Updated scoring estimates for July 2023

Changes have been made to MIN scoring which no longer needs to be adjusted for minimum progression. Also the scores have been placed in order. Any further changes needed will be shown on Tuesday 1st or Wed 2nd.

___________________________________

In category scoring (Jan to July totals), high score is bold, 2nd is bold italic and 3rd plain italic.

(ranks are given to top three forecasters, regardless of position of NormaL or Con Sensus as noted below)

IMT _ two tied for second place, no third place awarded.

MAX _ Con Sensus would be first alone.

MIN, PRC, SUN _ Three ranks without ties.

BONUS _ Two tied for second place, no third place awarded.

Order in category scoring is same as determined by total scores in annual scoring summary above this table.

Not all have any late penalties, but those who do will have their contest score (after penalties) in the TOTAL column and the total before penalties (the sum of the category scores) in brackets and italic font, after their contest score.

============

M.T. Cranium

IMT finished on 15.1 not 15.2 as expected. It only made it to 15.12 before rounding. All scores above lose one point there. Will transfer the point to MAX where the current minimum progression starts 19, 17 ... all scores will go up one to 20, 18 etc. So IMT and MAX category scores will balance out and totals (monthly, annual) can remain same as shown.

PRC was 216%, all stations above 170%.

SUN estimate is very close to 82.5%, waiting to see what monthly summary reveals as to whether or not SUN scores are okay or need an update. Same goes for MAX and MIN in case our tracking missed anything (24.1, 5.5). Quite certain about the bonus value of 16.6.

Will be back tomorrow to confirm scoring either way.

M.T. Cranium

Note: I see that 1991-2020 normals are now available on met.ie website.

Will this affect contest scoring?

For temperatures, not at all, since we predict absolute values of IMT, MAX and MIN.

For precip, I will assume that whatever percentages are available from tables or graphs are for latest available normals and will use them seamlessly, in part because I can't easily tell what normal period is being referenced in any given product, but also because precip normals don't tend to change all that much. Certainly this past month would have finished well over 200% using any set of normals.

For SUN, I am going to continue to use 1981-2010 normals to end of 2023 when checking the graphic displays against the week to week tracking. This is because I suspect that any changes will be minor and will make no substantial difference to scoring anyway. After 2023 ends I may try to improve our contest SUN tracking so that it can be based on the ag met reports where weekly percentages are given. If every month was like February in non leap-years this would be easy. But I think I know how I could just extend the given values for four weeks to 30 or 31 days using daily data.

This is what I do now anyway to estimate SUN. Then I won't need to use the monthly summary at all to score SUN, except in cases where there is a lot of missing data during the month that is collated at end of month.

Now, as to this month ... assume for now the scoring is complete other than the two mutually cancelling changes to IMT and MAX scoring. If I don't post again, that will be the final scoring. If I see any need to revise other aspects, I will be back in after the MS appears (which should be soon, usually around 1100h of second working day of month).

If it's just a case of revising IMT and MAX scores, I may post the tables anyway with those changes made. I will be checking SUN from the base line of a daily average of 4.83 hours or an average monthly total of 150 hours.

M.T. Cranium

The SUN value from MS was 84% so that results in a slight change to scoring. Almost all scores increased by one. The IMT and MAX scoring are adjusted as explained above, and I also added one superbonus point to two forecasts wit in 0.1 of the result. An error was found in one score total (Pauldry) that was shown as 60 but was actually 55.

This is the updated scoring...

* Minimum progression for MAX, and PRC. The values for MAX are scaled to differentials to some extent. Bonus scores are based entirely on ranges. Two forecasts were below the current value (16.6), closest values were 16.7 and 16.5 (these get one extra super-bonus point), 16.6 to 17.0 range was scored 10, 17.1 to 17.3 09, 17.4 to 17.6 08, etc for each group of 0.3 C to 19.2-19.4 02, then one lower scores of 01 for 19.9.

___________________________________

In category scoring (Jan to July totals), high score is bold, 2nd is bold italic and 3rd plain italic.

(ranks are given to top three forecasters, regardless of position of NormaL or Con Sensus as noted below)

IMT _ two tied for second place, no third place awarded.

MAX _ Con Sensus would be first alone.

MIN, PRC, SUN, BONUS _ Three ranks without ties.

Order in category scoring is same as determined by total scores in annual scoring summary above this table.

Not all have any late penalties, but those who do will have their contest score (after penalties) in the TOTAL column and the total before penalties (the sum of the category scores) in brackets and italic font, after their contest score.
