Annual CET competition - December update
EDIT - 1400GMT - sorry just spotted an error. I got rickm's December prediction mixed up with his winter prediction. As a result he is 10 places lower in the table at 16th. Everyone else between 6th and 16th has moved up a place. Revised tables below.
Okay so here is the final update of the year. As mentioned above congratulations to Whether Idle who is our winner this year.
December saw the second highest prediction error of the year overall, just behind April. Most people expecting a cooler than average month based on the output at the end of November.
The top 3 all moved up 7 places this month with The Professional finishing second and Frank H in third.
Other big climbers into the top 10 this month included Duncan McAlister up 16 to 6th and Rob K up 11 to 8th.
There were several other big climbers who went for a high December CET including Darren S up 16 to 11th and markwells up 19 to 28th.
We finished with 53 participants who kept going throughout the year and missed no more than 2 predictions.
Thanks to everyone who took part this year. It is great to have 50+ people involved. Here's to another interesting year in 2017. My new year resolution is to keep on top of things throughout the year so we have more timely updates.
The tables below show the month by month stats for both prediction errors and position in the table. Predictions highlighted in yellow are for an error of less than 0.5C. Figures in orange highlight a missed prediction for which an error is calculated by me according to the rules of the competition (the third quartile of the prediction errors for that month plus a penalty of 0.4C).
