I always post up the most outlandish temp that why...

You would already expect it to be well above average...

This is why I leave my guess to the last minute!  I will go for 17.7C and 70mm, please.  I would have not gone this high a few days ago!

17.1 __ 69.0 _ consensus

_______________________________________

Interesting stat, average of first ten forecasts (made 19th to 21st July) was 15.3, one of these was later revised upward so only orders of entry 01-09 went into this along with the revised value. LG had not posted by then (but is now shown as 11th entry). Also not included in that average is 10th entry from virtualsphere who went quite a bit warmer, the first of many (17.9). The average (excl LG) was closer to 16 by about 24th entry (28 July) and the eventual consensus was 17.0. 

66 on-time forecasts, with four that are one day late, 70 in total ... median 17.0 C

Two forecasts revised to become three days late (were 9th and 27th entry, table entries 10-26 should read 9-25, and 28-66 should read 26-64, but remain unedited)

This change shifts the consensus out of the group at 17.0 with equal numbers now above and below 17.05.  

Note: Edited forecast 09 (WE) also changed EWP, forecast 27 (Rel) did not.

I think there’ll be some torrential thundery downpours with short lived heat plumes then breaking down so for me

Just looking at 2013, 2016 and 2013 and it seems Aug 19 may have had the hottest start since 2004. With our warm spell upcoming our targets are 18.4C to the 10th and 17.6C to the 15th as our targets from last year.

I have to say, I don't remember it being that hot during the first week of August 2018.  However, the stats confirm otherwise!

Fair enough, like the others my memory did not have that in mind. That said i do recall early August in 06 having quite a high CET despite the fact i can't actually remember any real heat. 

I guess 18.1 and 18.5 are the targets then.
