    Steve, PMA... I am in Colchester and had reports of snow in Romford 45 mins ago, Witham 20 mins ago.... so we can expect some within the next 10 mins by my estimation.

    130mph gust recorded at Aonach Mor (Fort William) @ 1,200m

    Out of interest, hurricane Omar in 2008 recorded sustained (of 1 minute) winds of 135mph and that only recorded a minimum 958mb.

    Looks like Ayrshire can expect a hammering tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the max gust!

    Hi Cookie, It seems the professionals are all hyping up the season yet again. I think they will all be disappointed yet again. There will probably be 1 cat 5 and yes, it may make landfall and cause massive destruction but overall I think it will be a below average season. To answer your questions... 1, What month will Alex form? 2nd June 10 2, Total number of Depressions? 13 3, Name of the first hurricane? Colin 4, Name of first cat 3 hurricane? Colin 5, Name of first cat 5 hurricane? Gaston 6, How many landfalls will the U.S have? 2 7,How many Major Hurricanes will form? 1 8, Name of strongest hurricane? Gaston 9, What month will the last named storm form? Nov

    heavy snow for the last 20 mins in Glasgow city centre
  14. Cat 5
    Nothing in centre of Glasgow... looks threatening but nothing yet.

    Well done Roger - only 1 day out. The average prediction for the date the first named storm was formed was 2nd June only 2 days out! Well done everyone.

    Here goes my attempt to attach the spreadsheet! Hurricane.xls

    Interesting. The average number of Cat1+ hurricanes as predicted by Netweather is 10. Colorado State University predict 8. Average number of Cat3+ as predicted by Netweather is 4, CSU also predict 4. I have a full spreadsheet breakdown if anyone would like a copy. I may have to send you it via external email as I am struggling to post in any legible fashion on here. PM me with your email address if you would like a copy.

    Hmmm trying to input the tables. Are on an Excel spreadsheet but when I copy and paste them onto here they do not work. Anyone any idea how to transfer a spreadsheet onto a post? Thanks

    I suppose the way I scored it is because this will be one of the last opportunities to score points I would want a fair few to be on offer so the leaderboard can change right up to the last storm. I do think that less points should be on offer than for predicting the number of Cat3+ so will change it slightly. Thanks for the feedback. What I do think needs changing though is the reward for getting exactly right the amount of Cat1+... this is harder and only scoring 20 is a bit harsh. So I will change that to 30 if exact and 15 if within 3. Revised scoring is as follows; Date first named storm is formed: If you get this bang on then you score 50 points. Every day out that you are you will get two points deducted until you reach 0 points for this prediction. Last storm dissipated: As above. Name of strongest hurricane: 20 Points for exact. 15 points if you are 1 out (either way) and 10 points if 2 out (either way). 0 points if 3 or more out. Number of Hurricanes (Cat 1+): 30 points if you are exact. 15 points if you are with 3. 0 points if you are 4 or more out. Number of major Hurricanes (Cat 3+): 20 points if you are exact. 10 points if you are within 2. 0 points if you are 3 or more out.

    Somerset Squall - thanks for reminding me! So this is the 5 areas in which we are predicting. Date first named storm is formed: Last storm dissipated: Name of strongest hurricane:* Number of Hurricanes (Cat 1+): Number of major Hurricanes (Cat 3+): I suggest point scoring as follows... Date first named storm is formed: If you get this bang on then you score 50 points. Every day out that you are you will get two points deducted until you reach 0 points for this prediction. Last storm dissipated: As above. Name of strongest hurricane: 20 Points for exact. 15 points if you are 1 out (either way) and 10 points if 2 out (either way). 0 points if 3 or more out. Number of Hurricanes (Cat 1+): 20 points if you are exact. 10 points if you are with 3. 0 points if you are 4 or more out. Number of major Hurricanes (Cat 3+): 30 points if you are exact. 15 points if you are within 2. 0 points if you are 3 or more out. How does this sound??

    Yeah very interesting thanks WM. They could do with another buoy between K5 and M4 I would have thought.

    Secondary earthquake in the Sichuan area. This is 7.8 also. Maybe getting mixed information but I have had two alerts one about an hour ago reading 7.5 and just a minute ago one reading 7.8. Can anyone confirm if these are indeed the same quake?
