Rats.. intended to wait late to give my prediction but forgot i had not. 

4.1C is my prediction. 

I still see credible signs that our luck will change this side of christmas.

5.8c to the 2nd here, 2.0c above the 1981-2101 average.

Expecting a drop over the next 4 days back down towards average before it starts a big climb mid next week.

Min today is 4.0C while maxima look like climbing a little over 6C, so an increase to around 4.5C is likely on tomorrows update.

After that, the 06z GFS has the CET at:

4.1C to the 4th (3.0: -3.1)
3.7C to the 5th (2.0: -4.1)
3.9C to the 6th (5.0: +0.0)
4.7C to the 7th (9.2: +4.4)
5.5C to the 8th (10.9: +6.5)
5.9C to the 9th (9.4: +4.9)
6.2C to the 10th (8.9: +4.6)
6.5C to the 11th (9.6: +5.4)
6.8C to the 12th (9.7: +5.5)

So a big switch after 5 days, with the CET going from 2.3C below the 81-10 average on the 5th, to 1.7C above average on the 12th.

I don't see your entry (just checking my table), did you want to enter before the deadline at midnight? 

(general note to readers, if the 12z models don't change back to a colder look, I am going to take the 30 points and reposition)

Okay will add those two into the table of entries (see earlier post for link, it's in the scoring thread). The three models that I tend to trust the most have three different outcomes past about day seven. GFS looks very mild with just a few hints of colder air by the 18th or so. GEM turns the warmth into an inversion high, not a big difference in the uppers but quite a divergence in surface temps. ECM is just nondescript near normal stuff after a while.

So I think that's enough of a doubt factor that I will ride my cold number instead of changing with a penalty.

looks like it will start on the mild side for the first half my guess then will be average for the second half so 5.8c will not be far away me thinks

If you don't call this off by midnight, I would consider it an official change in forecast. But J10 is the final arbiter. 

 

As to the other suggestion about making the contest a calendar year thing, problem there is four seasonal components presently overlap the contest year. Again, not my call, and I have no preference. I might have won 2015 by that framework though.

I don't know if you just entered the contest or made a comment, but it's in the table now anyway.
