So nobody correctly predicted the July CET but congratulations to moomin75 who was closest with a prediction of 18.5C.
Annual competition update for July
Some significant changes in the table this month as many people were caught out by the warm July. We have a new leader Taylor 1740 who now has a comfortable lead. This is in fact the fourth month that Taylor1740 has topped the table this year and has never been lower than third.
Our previous leader Weathermac drops three places to fourth. Norseman is up three to second place which equals the position reached back in April.
Nemi stays in third for a third month in a row. Stormchaser is up one to fifth just below his highest position this year of fourth.
We only have one new entrant into the top 10 this month and that is Easterly Beasterly who climbs seven places to seventh equalling the position reached back in February.
Other notable climbers are alan up five to 11th to his highest position of the year, warrenb up 11 to 14th and Tractor Boy up 14 to 17th. moomin75 is also a double digits climber this month after his excellent prediction.
Not too many big fallers this month but Deep Powder is down 17 places to 39th.
At the bottom vince is back in with a chance of avoiding the wooden spoon after a good prediction in July whereas markwells' run of good months came to an end with an error of over 2C.
We lost nobody from the table this month so still 63 in the competition. Llamedos and Johnny25 did not make predictions in July and were awarded an error of 1.94C based on the usual criteria. The average error this month for all those making a prediction was 1.24C.
Only five people managed a prediction error of less than 0.5C in July. This is the second lowest number of the year after March when nobody had an error less than 0.5C.
There are now only 37 people with a cumulative error of less than 10C with five months still to go. It looks unlikely that last year's winning figure of 7.86C by Brummie Snowman will be bettered this year.
