All members of this forum are invited to join in each month, and those who are persistent across multiple months get to see their names in the league tables both seasonally and annually
The prize for 1st place? The right to wear a massive grin on your face
It is by and large a game of luck, although yes, looking at forecasts and charts does tend to be helpful with regards to the first week of the month
It is not unreasonable to just throw out numbers that you like the sound of or have some favourism towards - provided they're physically possible of course
I will be posting the event categories soon - they follow a simple format;
first are three 'temperature threshold' events e.g. the first -7.5*C to be officially recorded in the UK by a Met Office station.
then comes the UK extremes - the highest and lowest UK temperatues to be officially recorded by a Met Office station.
After than comes the % of the average sunshine and rainfall.
For the last of those, climate-uk seems to have been abandoned now, so it looks like I need a new resource for those stats - does anyone know of a good one (if not, the Met Office summary would have to do, but that takes some time to be released)? Thanks
