The most recent record minimum CET daily mean in August was on the 9th of 1931. 

I would like to see that low Aug 30 record max replaced, should be a piece of cake for 2018.

3-day mean of 9.5 24-26 Aug 1864 ... beaches deserted I would imagine.

The various late forecasts have moved consensus CET up one rung to 18.0 ... the EWP may change marginally but the spread of seven new calls is similar to the original 37 where consensus was 51 mm.

I am on a long vacation road trip but taking a working break from it at a motel in Nevada, temp here the past three days has been 43 C daytime and 25 C or higher at night. You get used to it. Have seen some nice monsoon storm clouds mostly off to the southeast of where we are. 

The relevance of this is that I will be posting tables of entries on the 3rd before the absolute deadline and may not see the official EWP for quite a few days after we get back to the road trip. Won't be home until 22nd August but would imagine having one day of internet contact around 10th to catch up, so if no scoring appears for EWP (July) until then, be patient as it will eventually happen. Anyone is welcome to list the winners based on either NCIC or Hadley figures (I score both separately). Looks to me like 35-40 mm might do best? July entries can be seen over in the contest scoring thread.

Okay, as to July 2018, hoping BFTV can update on how that highest minimum daily value situation played out, and could somebody confirm there was one daily record 22.5 on 27th (formerly 21.9 1948).

For such a warm month, very few daily record threats. However, Feb 1779 lost all of theirs since setting quite a few no doubt (1772 to 1779 not a very rich harvest of mild days). I had a brief look at the final values and from what I recall of a previous post I made, 11 days of 20+ is third place behind 2006 and 1983. Apologies if somebody has posted on these subjects, I am trying to score or tabulate three different contests and hydrate all at the same time. :)

Tables of entries have been posted over in the contest scoring thread/ July EWP and annual update for NCIC version are also posted. I am returning to a long road trip now after taking three days to update weather forum contest work on three separate sites. 

August contest entries still welcome to midnight cutoff today, but the tables won't include them, J10 and I will try to remember to check this thread for any last minute entries.

You may want to edit your rolling figure in the post.

What he means folks is 18C to the 12th according to his graph.

Thanks @summer blizzard. Too late to edit now unfortunately
Can a mod remove the table from my post above? Was in a rush, didn't double check the first column:wallbash:
The graphs are fine, so they can stay. They also show the rolling CET value, which suggests we'll be on about 17.9C to the 12th!

I've added in the rough figures for you. I used the graph so they might be 0.1C out or so. :)

I'm guessing the cet will be getting a hammering after Tuesday with the arrival of Cooler weather.

If the less settled pattern sets in, the CET this month may not even exceed 17C. 18C already looks a challenge in my opinion.

Yes it will certainly drop for a time, where it ends up is unknown at this time, a warm second half with a hot spell thrown in could easily see the CET finish above 18c imo.

Here's the forecast based on the 06z GFS

Rolling CET (I Hope!)... Anomaly to 81-10 rolling avg (Daily Avg: Anomaly to 81-10 daily avg)

19.8C to the 6th... +2.8 (19.9: +2.7)
19.8C to the 7th... +2.8 (20.0: +3.1)
19.4C to the 8th... +2.4 (16.4: -0.4)
19.0C to the 9th... +2.0 (15.8: -1.1)
18.5C to the 10th... +1.6 (14.5: -2.3)
18.4C to the 11th... +1.5 (17.2: +0.5)
18.3C to the 12th... +1.4 (17.4: +0.6)
18.2C to the 13th... +1.3 (16.2: -0.1)
18.1C to the 14th... +1.3 (17.6: +0.9)
18.2C to the 15th... +1.4 (19.2: +2.4)

After mid week, things mainly remaining close to average, with just 1, maybe 2, "cool" days. As such, we should still be hanging on into the 18s after mid month. (On the low res out to the 20th, the CET would quickly climb back above 19C!)
