June 2013 forecast contest -- temperatures


Recommended Posts

To quote Mallow, "okay, you know the drill."

 

We require six temperature anomalies for

 

DCA ___ NYC ___ BOS ______ ORD ___ ATL ___ IAH

 

and the "bragging rights bonus" for June will be valid all summer, predict the highest temperature this summer at any of our six sites (and nowhere else, not IAD, not BWI, not JFK or LGA). If you want to add dates by all means do so.

Thanks for playing the bonus question ... I worded it a bit awkwardly, was just looking for one high reading but as everyone who played gave all six, let's change it to all six then.

 

My forecasts to give an idea as to what to avoid ...

 

DCA ___ NYC ___ BOS _________ ORD ___ ATL ___ IAH

 

+1.2 ___ +1.1 ___ +1.4 _________ +0.6 ___ +0.3 ___ +1.5

 

104 ____ 101 ___ 98 ____________ 101 ___ 99 ___ 98

 

Summer forecast (not posted in a separate thread this year) fairly ho hum, don't see the extreme heat of 2010-12 developing at least on that scale, not as bad as 2009, fairly close to average in many places. Therefore not worth a thread.

Consensus for 28 forecasts is average of 14th and 15th ranked. 21/28 entrants gave forecasts of annual maxima at the six stations. The consensus there is the 11th ranked forecast. I will add normal for that category later if I can get the numbers. Anyone who didn't enter that bonus can post their numbers up to the 10th of June. This bonus of course remains open through the rest of 2013 at least to mid-September. We won't have any further "bragging rights bonus" distractions until this one is solved, then we might have one last one concerning first snowfall dates.

 

You can still enter June but as of now the late penalty stands at 44%.
