Sorry it's a day late. I was in a state of disrepute after my Hallowe'en party on Friday night. I've only just revived some of my brain cells and braved contact with other members of the human race.

First -3°C and -5°C occured yesterday... in fact Katesbridge got all the way down to -5.8°C!


The rules therefore mean that any predictions made on 4th November must score an automatic value equal to half the maximum possible for each of those two categories. As we have 8 entrants this month, that's 4 points for each category... not too bad really, no trouble for Rob and Domma




I'll sort out the scores when I get a free moment or two

The November Prediction Game Chart


So get this... everybody scored the same for 'first -5C' as they did for 'first -3C'. What a statistical coincidence!


I considered doing prelimanary scores for the latest 15°C, but I'm keeping a wary eye on Monday first

Going to need a miracle to find the time for this and the December Prediction Game, but I'll try my best. Lots of major deadlines at uni at the moment.

Well said Caz. I've been busy too at work. I understand what the uni workload can be like near deadlines etc. It's only for fun, so don't worry so much SC...your work comes first.


Anyway, I do get tired of being at the top so maybe a break would be good

Using the 1st and 2nd half stats combined as averages, I've been able to get the rainfall and sunshine percentages, so here are the final results:


The November 2013 Prediction Game Chart


...hmmn. Just getting a blank image at the moment. Hopefully it will update, else I'll have a reason to be cross with Chrome!


Gooner is this month's winner, with an impressively low score of 19, while Schmee and myself are joint second with 21 points, after which we find jamesthemonkeh and Domma tied in 3rd - it really was a close fought competition this month!


Annual and seasonal stats following in a moment...
