Latest estimate from me is for the August CET to finish at 16.04C. The output has been consistently showing something between 16.0C and 16.1C for a while now. So August should finish just ahead of July.

Final Hadley figure for August is 15.90C so just below the 15.91C for July.

Not the first summer in recent years to have no month reach 16C.

cowman and Dougie are our winners this month. Congratulations to them.

Congrats to cowman and Dougie!  Thanks once again GW!

I wasn't too far off this month with my 16c guess so I don't think I've done my chart position any harm. 

Here are the charts for August. After the first couple of days the CET meandered around the 16C mark for the whole month. Other than a brief warm spell from the 21st to the 23rd there was no significant heat to speak of during the month.

Well done to both, I guessed 15.91C, which is one of my closest ever guesses, and I still don't win

I went for 15.5C - so I shouldn't have lost too many points there. Certainly much closer than I was for July.

Anomaly maps are out.. shows what I thought.. best relative to average in the north and Scotland.

I'm sat under average for all three categories. It backs up what I thought - although as we lacked a hot spell, and mins (IMO) were above ave, it added up to a 'nothing' month

Here is the summer CET chart. On the cool side at 0.32C below the 1971-2000 mean and 0.60C below the 1981-2010 mean.

CET competition tables will be published tomorrow evening.

Annual CET competition - August update

No change at the top of the table this month - for the first time this year. lanky holds on to the top spot. Deep Powder moves up to second and Hungry Tiger drops to third. NeilM, Caz and Dougie all moving up this month into 4th, 5th and 6th respectively.

The prediction errors this month were the smallest of the year and quite closely clustered so there are no major movers in the table unlike what we saw over the previous couple of months.

Thank You GW for the tables...

Thanks Simon.

Thanks GW..even a good month isn't enough to dig myself out of the mess I've got into this year. 

Many thanks GW and congrats to Lanky for sticking with the top spot. 

I've had a good year so far and have spent quite a dizzying time on the top table.  Surely it can't last!
