I know what you mean Whether Idle - while not as impressive as your 0.01 across two months, by my calculations, I'm fairly sure I have the lowest combined error for Mar-Jul... but add January in and I drop to 5th and with the February debacle I'm down in 10th!
This sort of thing has led me to wonder whether a maximum error cap of, say, 2.0°C would encourage more in the way of 'bold' estimates - but I'm not sure it's really fair to make it so that the 'bold ones' have potentially got more to gain than lose relative to others.
Going more than a degree from average for the CET is a heck of a thing really - it's not something that you could reasonably expect to get right reliably. Of course, these days, you've generally got a better chance if you go more than a degree above average than below, but exceptions still happen more than occasionally, as April-May showed us starkly.
