Heat at the end but not enough to make a difference to my guess!  

I recorded 23c yesterday and 25c today, not screened, so not accurate but good enough for my observations.  Does anyone know what the official highest temp was today?

Someone mentioned a 24.6c in the Spring Moaning thread, as it just beat March's high temp to mean we missed on that fun little statistical quirk.

  Thanks!  Yes, I quite like those fun stats!

The temps above 24.5C were reported at Kinloss and Kinlochewe. So for the England, the record stands unless some obscure station spoils the stats!

 

Here in Leyland today was cooler than yesterday, with more wind. Apple app thingy maximum was 22C compared to 24C yesterday

Northolt reached 24.8C yesterday. Nothing obscure about that station.

Kinlochewe was the warmest with 25.1C, so we did just manage our first 25C of the year before the end of Spring.

A fair recovery over the last week, but not enough for many of us! Congrats to Ally Pally, who was (just) closest with a guess of 9.99c.

I dont think I've ever won a month before.  A very lucky guess though.

April-May CET combinations

2013 CET: 8.95C  (A May CET < 11.5C will beat this)

1996 CET: 8.8C (A May CET < 11.2C will beat this)

1986 CET: 8.45C (A May CET < 10.5C will beat this)

1941: CET: 7.9C (A May CET <9.4C will beat this)

 

Coldest April-May CET period since 1941

April-May CET minimum is about 3.4C, the lowest since at least 1878

3rd April-2nd May CET minimum was a remarkable 0.7C (April was 1.0C)

Spring has certainly been odd this year.  Here, we had some lovely days in March, then April was frosty almost every night but no rain and plenty of sunshine.  May was just cold, with grey mornings and mixed afternoons with quite a few thunder storms. Let’s hope Summer behaves.

Annual CET competition - May update

Lots of change in the table this month but actually it makes things even tighter than it was before. Frank H holds on to top spot by the skin of his teeth. Those with very close predictions this month shoot up into the top 10.

Table 1

Well done Frank H and all those who called it thereabouts.  
I managed to fall 16 places!

Can't complain at moving up to 3rd place in the whole competition so far!

Thanks GW for all the stats.

Thanks GW for running competition

Moving up 15 places was nice surprise
