Thanks GW. Just wish I'd followed my gut and gone for 16.93 instead!

Here is the CET for the summer so far. Looking like a reasonably warm year.

We only need an August CET of 16.8C to beat the summer of 2013 and that would give us the warmest summer since 2006. In fact it would be the 3rd warmest summer since 1997 (with only 2003 and 2006 warmer).

So not bad really although we could achieve this feat without any single month reaching 17C this year. To be fair we have had quite a few poor summers in recent years.

Thanks GW- fingers crossed for a 16.8 which will certainly be helped over the next 7 days, then after that who knows? What are your thoughts?

Thanks GW!  

Yes Bertie, April was a messy month for me too, although I've done badly every month except July. Even though I was only about half a degree off I only gained 4 places.  Too much for me to make up now it think.

Nil desperandum Caz- our weather's so full of U-turns, surprises, disappointments and flukes, with 5 months still to play for!

So true. Last year's lucky guesses saw me top of the leader board for the first couple of months. Then my luck ran out and it was all downhill from there. At least I'm heading the right way this year.
