9.5c to the 28th

1.6c above the 61 to 90 average

1.1c above the 81 to 10 average

Perhaps a little uptick to 9.6c/9.7c over the last couple of days. I just hope there's no upwards adjustment, as I really to need a month that's not too damaging in the comp, after a nightmare start.

9.5c to the 29th

1.6c above the 61 to 90 average

1.0c above the 81 to 10 average

9.60 C to 2 dec places

1.7C above 61-90 average

so well done to col who was nearest with 9.52C

Mid month you thought you’d blown it!  Just goes to show, with our weather, you should never give up!  

Yes, I do seem to recall writing it off after about a week. Although it wasn't really 'potent' just a lot of below average temps that mounted up.

A most unlikely victory certainly!

Well done Col, your win my demise 😉

Just confirming that rough CET splits are:

1st half: 11.2C

2nd half: 8.0C

Must be unusual to have such a drop in the 2nd half of April

Sorry All it's so late; April results are below 

Year to date table will be posted tomorrow, and on the May thread the predictions as well will be posted tomorrow evening 

A  special shout out to col who was not only closest but bang on the nose with his 9.52 prediction

Apologies if I am wasting your time but I know how close these comps can get

I made the final CET 9.60 not 9.52 and I just went back in to double check and it came out 9.603 again

Well my eyebrows were certainly raised with that one as I didn't think I had got it spot on. But if there are conflicting figures like this in December with two participants very close, things could turn ugly

Thanks, Justin

Well done to Col!

My reaction is 'phew!' after the first half of the month.
