just for fun... when will be the next 'proper' above average month

[IanR]

just like predicting the monthy cets, its really just some fun gueswork !    and with april being the last proper above average, where the '61 to '90 and '81 to '10   are both above,   and september looking likely to be be below as well.  any one like to take a guess,

 

  who will be right,  looks like a hard task to get both stats be above at the moment due to the cold atlantic, could be interesting

 

to be honest i have not got a clue, i would imagine most of this years months to be below of whats left,

 

i will go for january 

 

the thread closes when we get an above average on both stats ,  could be a long one this

[Gordon Webb]

I'll go for December

[Lake District Blizzards]

December, Obviously!

[IanR]

oh ! could be short thread after all, still sticking with  jan2016

As long as the above average N Atlantic SSTs persist it will be difficult to achieve a well above average CET with our prevailing Westerlies

[IanR]

you mean below  average sst 

[Nights King]

Hopefully the next 6 months will all be below average   So next April sounds fine. 

[mountain shadow]

you mean below  average sst 

Yes. Below average SST

[Mark Neal.]

March 2016!

[Costa Del Fal]

December.

[summer blizzard]

I'm expecting a cyclonic Oct-Dec period so probably one of them.

[Don]

January 

 

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Dec, then Jan then Feb

[Man With Beard]

November. I can't see the storm potential falling in the Atlantic over autumn, which will eventually mean a westerly wind produces above average temperatures

[JeffC]

May 2016 I reckon

[Nick L]

December, you just know it.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

December, you just know it.

 

I think so, and wetter than average as well, probably one of the most 'westerly' Decembers on record

[Summer of 95]

I was going to say February but then remembered the year ends in 6, which have a lot of cold Februaries. So I'll go for March.

[Yarmy]

Well October is the cut off point at which I prefer below average temps, so by that measure I guarantee it will be above average.

[Relativistic]

It's going to be October.

[Eugene]

It's going to be October.

 

 

No it's not, hopefully a good few years yet, Winter is going to be very cold.

[J10]

December !!!!

[Bradowl]

June 2016   

[March Blizzard]

June 2016   

April is the recent form horse

[Bobd29]

Got to be January, often the biggest letdown
