Going for 17.7 and 92.2 mm. Expect a third heat wave in the second half of August some time. Won't show on any charts until maybe the 8th to 10th.

Agree with that but question is how far North it will affect, plus you can always get a 5 or 6c minimum right at the end of August so thats what stopped me going as high as you, unfortunately there was nothing unique available that i wanted by the time i had decided or anything close to it so i have had to go with one that loads of others already went for so the best i can do is come 4th or 5th or something like that, might have to start thinking about getting something up early in future but don't want to annoy you by keep changing my mind, last month was fine, i got what i wanted, suspect after last months heat, that is whats prompted everyone to go high again as last few years seem to be laden with strings of successive above average months.

I don't mind how many times people post or change their forecasts because I tend to compile the tables from back to front after figuring out that it's less work to start with the final guesses. Also the contest is for NW members to forecast, not for me to make up tables. A bit of chop and change is all part of forecasting (or it should be). So that's the priority. I have the forecasts to date in a bit of a table already, looks like consensus so far is around 17.2 and 75 mm. Will post the on time forecasts at midnight or shortly thereafter.

August has suffered a bit.

It's been 15 years since a warm August (2004: 17.6°C) and 2004 is the only August to be more than 1.0°C above the 1971 - 2000 baseline. 2016 is warmest at 17.0°C.

August 2005 - 2018 averages 16.0°C and is -0.2°C against the 71-000 average. -0.4 against 81-2010. 

Comparatively the previous 14 years averaged 16.9°C (1991 - 2004)

August has been a warmer version of what December had been before 2015.

I'll go with 15.8°C

I'm also thinking this; I said mid-month for a plume in my previous post, but now I'm thinking sometime around or just after the 20th.

Perhaps a fairly warm August this year for a change, but nothing especially so, despite we may well see another shortlived heat plume. I will go with 17.2 degrees.

17.3C and 90mm please.

Despite the heatwave now a distant memory, I wouldn’t be surprised to see another plume during August, with temperatures once again in the mid to high 30’s.  However, unlikely to be quite as fierce as that last week.
