EWP contest

Predict the June 2019 rainfall in mm.

160.1 mm __ 2012 wettest 1766 to 2018

157.1 mm __ 1860 (2nd wettest 1766 to 2018)

_67.7 mm __ mean 1989-2018

_66.3 mm __ mean 1981-2010

_16.5 mm __ 2018 driest 1981-2018 (20.2 mm in 1995 previous minimum)

__4.3 mm __ 1925 driest 1766-2018

In recent years, 2018 _ 16.5 mm ___ 2017 _ 93.8 mm ___ 2016 _ 114.0 mm ___ 2015 _ 38.8 mm ___ 2014 _ 49.8 mm. 

- - - - - _______________________________ - - - - -

Enter the EWP contest (add your forecast to your CET temp forecast), same deadlines and from 1st to 3rd of June, it's 0.2 point deductions per day late to end of 3rd. Maximum score is 10.0 for closest forecast, all others are scored on a sliding scale by rank down to 0.0 points for least accurate. Duplicate entries lose 0.1 points by order of entry. 

Good luck in both contests !!

15.6°C and 62.6mm please. Generally above average month, rinse and repeat with some very warm/hot periods and a few cooler, wetter spells. Not a washout though.

I'll go bang on average at 14.5C, i suspect the month will start better and end worse.

you use reverse psychology in your forecasts!!!   -   you always go for your most hated weather type and temperatures.

Would expect this to be a "back-loaded" summer that starts out poorly and does better in August and September. Has been a while since the last example, I suppose 2012 was better in August than the other months, but I'm thinking more like perhaps 1975 with a more distinct improvement.

Can't remember where but i have seen some analogues that suggest this, however, i have got a feeling that it will be like last winter where all the experts are wrong, i still think it could be very hot late June and July and then cold and showery in August but then dry in Sept again.

Not sure those 2 could possibly go hand in hand to be fair.

Here's how June CET and EWP have paired in the past 81 years, in graphical form. There is a tendency to warm/dry and cool/wet although all types of combinations have occurred. The graph is set up so that the actual values are at the position of the middle of the four-digit year number (note 1919/1979 same and should begin inside the space of 2015 and also. 1938, 1952 are at same position as are 1905 and 1945, 1908 and 1915, 1912 and 1980, then 1920 and 1953, also 1927 and 1985).

I may expand this back further so check back, as the post may be edited to contain more data. However, a check of all years that exceeded 100 mm (1766 to 1900) shows that none of them had CET values higher than 14.8 C., so no matter how far back I add data, the upper right quadrant of this chart will remain largely void.

 

 JUNE CET vs EWP graphical display 1901-2018 (adding warm Junes 1822,26.46 and also two other very wet Junes 1860,1879) 

__ the driest Junes in 1921 and 1925 are now in the data displayed, which is being gradually augmented with older data through editing.

__ have added June 1868 the driest June in second half of 19th century. _ all 19th century additions in brackets _ separate chart for 1772-1900.

note -- quality control applied to the top chart assures that equal CET values are aligned and on the correct EWP (to nearest 2.5 mm, e.g. 18.8-21.2 for 20, 21.3-23.7, then 23.8 - 26.2 for 25, 26.3 - 28.7 then 28.8 to 31.2 for 30, etc. Spacing of adjacent CET columns is slightly overlapping, for example a set at 12.0, 12.1 and 12.2 would be most accurately shown as YEAREAYEAR (hypothetically for 1977, 1995 and 2022 ... 1977992022 so when three are shown adjacent, the left and right ends are one numeral left and right of where they should be positioned relative to their cohorts (the central year is in the precise accurate location). All equal cases are shown with a comma and the centre point lies where it normally would for the first of the set, not shifted left. Two adjacent would overlap, the left of the two is precisely located and the right member should be one digit further left than shown (where no comma, commas and partial second year numbers are used wherever possible for clarity).

Note:

The chart establishes the fact that many Junes are both cooler to near normal in temperature, and drier than average, almost all wet Junes are also cooler than average, an exception being 1982. The majority of the warmer Junes are quite dry. This appears to be the case for the older historical data not yet added.

This chart will begin to get too cluttered in the central portions if I try to go back any further, so I will put brackets around the pre-1900 additions then post a separate chart for the interval 1766 to 1900, to see if it takes on this same appearance (clustering to the cool, dry side of average). What it tells me is that "normal" based on averages is different from "normal" based on median values and perhaps we would have a clearer picture of the real climate from using median values if the distributions are skewed. For EWP in particular, the existence of a defined floor (zero) and an unlimited ceiling (so far 160 mm) slants the outcome towards a skewed distribution -- the higher than average cases are going to pull the average up more than the lower cases drag it down. For temperature, note that the lowest values (11.8) are only 2.7 below the recent normal of 14.5, while the highest value (not in that interval however) was 3.7 higher. The temperatures are more of a symmetrical normal distribution than the rainfalls. 

Will post that other chart in this same post eventually, might take a while to get it finished but you will see the bare bones of it already.

This older set of data looks remarkably similar to the first (later) chart, albeit perhaps a shift towards more frequent wet cool to average Junes.

Not sure those 2 could possibly go hand in hand to be fair.

Aug 97 and Aug 04 show that very warm and wet is possible though rare.

Was going to send this reply to Roger's post, yes it certainly possible with plumes if the trough hangs to the West, but usually the breakdown happens too quickly to sustain it but anyway to be honest i was referring more to the 'Atlantic' part of Lettucing Gutted's post rather than the just the 'wet' part, i doubt you could have an Atlantic dominated June that is even well above average, let alone a record breaking one, that said though i know lettucing gutted wasn't being serious anyway.

If I remember correctly Augusts 1997 and 2004 both had a lot of hot, humid and thundery plumes which led to very warm CETs in both cases despite the near record amounts of average monthly rainfall.  August 2004s warmth and rainfall was also bolstered by an unusual amount of sub-tropical cyclones such as the one that brought the infamous Boscastle flood.  July 2010 was also a very warm but very wet Atlantic dominated month, ironically the only month with that combination of conditions in between November 2009 and February 2011.
