Final October CET is exactly 11.00C http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcet/cet_mean_2015

Well done to GezM, marting and western100 who had the exact figure this month

That's the 4th month this year, taking into account rounding to first decimal place, that has ended on a whole number.

Feb: 4.0
Apr: 9.0
Jun: 14.0
Oct: 11.0

I wonder when the last time that at least 4 months in the year ended with a whole number?

Annual CET competition October update

Here are the tables for October. lanky still has a good lead but it has been cut somewhat by John S2.

Very tight in the rest of the top 10 with a number of people reaching their highest position of the year this month.

Thanks GW for all your work on this

Thank you GW for the update. Placed in my file for 2015.

Thanks Simon.

Thanks Simon!

Interestingly, if someone had simply gone for the 1961-90 CET average every month, they would have a cumulative anomaly of 4.9C, and would be leading the table.

Thanks GW,looks like I'm going to drop down the table like a stone this month mind.

Thanks GW.

Thanks Simon - great effort! I wish I could say the same about my ranking... 😃

Amazed I'm up to 6th....

My laptop died on 29th October and I was in Lanzarote from 31st until yesterday so unfortunately couldn't enter a November guess.

Looking forward to next year's comp...good luck to those left in. Got a hunch it will turn a lot colder late Nov....

Many cheers, GW, excellent stuff. Another lower-mid-table finish from me this year. Every time I've gone for something particularly mild or cool, it's looked possible with half/third of the month to go, only for the emerging pattern to moderate, with my [ahem!] 'expert forecast' ending up well off.

Interesting to read Darren's comment about if one had just gone for the average throughout the year
