The coldest UK May for 25 years following on from the coldest UK April for 35 years.

Is Covid doing the business for us on climate change?    :)

Not really, the UK is just a tiny, tiny percentage of the worlds landmass. Global temperatures are still close to record breaking highs and I don't see how added heat into our climate system can mysteriously vanish.

Global temperatures will continue upwards with only volcanic eruptions in the long run having a temporary impact on them unless we cut our emissions. The uncertainty regionally is that atmospheric circulation determines how that heat is distributed.

Climate change won't mean above average temperatures in the UK every month with warm records being broken... unless atmospheric circulation changes to support such a move. Warmer global temperatures however just increase the likelihood of warm records being broken (due to increasingly large and notable warm anomalies) and events such as flooding due to warmer Sea Surface Temperatures. Covid saw too small a drop in GhG emissions to have a noticeable impact on global temperatures.

I don't think the original comment was supposed to be taken so seriously... I'd appreciate not having another GW derailment in the wrong thread.

agreed , cannot be doing with another derailment & mass toy throwing event yet again. regardless of beliefs, keep it to the appropriate thread or shut up.

I hope you are right though the last time we started a year with five months delivering an aggregate monthly mean CET of less than 33C   (this year is 31.9C) with a flamin' June was in 1970 and that followed a very warm May.  

We are due a warm June I suppose.   I think it's a remarkable month for CET.  Since 1970 we have had six Junes that have have registered in the top ten percent of warmest Junes, registering a mean of 15.7C or more. But, very much against the tendency of recent decades, we have had in that time the same number of month that have registered in the top ten percent of coldest Junes as well, coming in at 13C or below.

And while the warmest June in all that time (1976) was still a full 1.2C below the warmest June of all time (1846) , the June of 1972 was the coldest June there has been in the last 335 years, only 0.3C warmer than 1675 and as cold as 1909 and 1916. 

Seems to be a nice monthly mean CET correlation between 1972 and 2021 at present....

 But before anyone gets worried, the max CET in June 1972 only reached 18C on two days so I think that's blown out of the water already!!

Given that the user has questioned GW in previous posts, it's reasonable to suggest it was a dig, wasn't me who dangled the carrot...

Besides someone may read that comment and think it is true, so the reason why I post it is for a fact check, nothing more to it.

It would be interesting to compare the average CET for the first halves of the months so far this year against others - quite a few months so far with a warm up towards the end after a cold start.  June does look set to break that pattern though!

Good job I'm not being stalked by anyone in denial that Climate Change exists and is warming up our climate dramatically! Otherwise they would no doubt be quickly latching onto such posts of mine as the following  posted in the Annual CET  thread!!!! 

image.thumb.png.5907e6edcae68b8643dd6d8c2b45c678.png

Anyway, as I think has already been noted, the rolling twelve month mean CET has now fallen below 10C .  I wonder when the next time it will rise above 10C will be?   By my reckoning it would require a June of 1976 proportions to get us back to 10C.  That would certainly be something as I don't think we've had any other June apart from 1976 in over 160 years that would do the trick!  Although curiously there were SIX of them in the preceding 100 years that would do the trick!!

At 10.1c May 2021 shares the same mean CET with May's:

1772

1850

1951

1987

 

 

 

Interesting to note same as 1987, that came on the back of a very dry but much warmer April than this year.. it was also quite wet I think.

At the start of the year I bet very few if any would have banked on the coldest April since 1986 followed by the coldest May since 1996!

Fair enough, given I have a housemate who believes our warming climate was caused by a storm in the 1300s, I think people will believe anything, especially given some of the theories I read...

We had a cool July last year, so if we get a warm June followed by a warm July, that could send it back above 10C again. Can't see 2021 challenging the annual CET record however, that is for sure...

It's interesting that just when cold flipped to warm in western Europe, warm flipped to cold in eastern North America. Toronto airport had its latest measurable snowfall in its records on Friday 28th and quite a few places in eastern N America had record low maxima on Friday and Saturday, including NYC which broke a daily record from 1884. 

The net result was that anomalies running at +1 to +2 were cut back to near average by large daily anomalies in the last four days. And just a few days before all that, it was over 30 C in many places in the same region. 

It has also turned very hot here in the west, highs yesterday and today near 35 C. (normal here about 24 C)

The CET minimum for April-May was about 3.4C, coldest CET minimum since at least 1878

The CET minimum for 3rd April-2nd May was a remarkable 0.7C  (April was 1.0C) which was a record

 

 

 

Are there any later 30 day periods below 1?

Could be pedantic and say later in a year there will be but I not what you are meaning.

I don't think there will be given April 2021 has the lowest CET minimum on record for April and that was 1.0C

Report on Consensus and the two Normals in CET contest

For the CET contest, we do not officially score consensus or the two recent normals. (In the EWP contest they are tracked). So here's an update which shows how our consensus (median rather than mean) and the two normals have been doing. 1991-2020 played December as 1990-2019. All I can report here is their rank in each contest, as the other scoring parameters are a bit too complex for me to recreate after the fact. The rank shown is equivalent to the highest scoring forecaster at that temperature level, some others would have ranked lower (higher rank numbers). 

The number in brackets beside the rank is the number of forecasts submitted. 

 

Robotic forecaster ____ DEC rank ___ JAN rank ___ FEB rank ___ MAR rank ___ APR rank ___ MAY rank ______ average rank

Consensus ____________ 27th (97) ___ 16th (78) ___38th (80) ___ 22nd (62) ____ 30th (62) ___ 31st (64) ______ 27th (74)

1981-2010 normal ____ 27th (97) ____51st (78) ___ 5th (80) ____ 36th (62) ____ 37th (62) ___ 48th (64) ______ 34th (74) 

1991-2020 normal* ___ 4th (97) _____56th (78) ___ 3rd (80)____ 33rd (62) ____ 48th (62) ___ 51st (64) ______ 33rd (74)

Consensus error _______ --0.4 ________ --0.3 _______ --2.1 ______ --0.3 _________ +1.9 _______ +1.0 _______ avg abs 1.0

1981-2010 error _______ --0.4 _________ +1.3 _______ --0.7 ______ --0.6 _________ +2.1 _______ +1.6 _______ avg abs 1.1

1991-2020 error _______ --0.1 _________ +1.6 _______ --0.2 ______ --0.5 _________ +2.6 _______ +1.8 _______ avg abs 1.1

mean bias of consensus is --0.03, mean bias of 1981-2010 is +0.55, mean bias of 1991-2020 is +0.87

ANALYSIS: The scoring performance of all three robotic forecasters is still about the same but consensus pulled into a small lead after May, Normals did better in Feb and our consensus did better in Jan and May, there was little to choose in the other three months and in April they all did quite poorly. 

While this is not a complete scoring analysis, forecasters with average errors of 1.0 are ranked around 20th to 30th in the CET contest. They all do better in the EWP where their ranks are closer to 10th.

As we only have the daily minimum and maximum CET values from 1878, it is possible that some cold Aprils before 1878 would have had a lower CET minimum than April 2021 but do not show up in the records.

Excel May 21 CET.xlsx

PDF  ( Summary)  May 2021 Summary.pdf

Monthly

May was a cold month, but this time it was much better forecasted with 13 within 0.5c. 

Well done to I remember Atlantic 252, the only one getting it spot on.

image.thumb.png.9d83ecc69dfc8a28e4ceb4b2288c8d3d.png

Seasonal

After the massive changes last month, the Top 5 remain completely unchanged to conclude the Spring 2021 competition.

The Top 3 therefore remains, Polar Gael in 1st, Roger J Smith in 2nd and Quicksilver1989 in 3rd.

image.thumb.png.712258070300470cbfd04a4d8d36a5d4.png

Overall

Not much change either in the overall competition.

reef (1st, the same as last month)
Timmytour (2nd from 4th)
Weather-history (3rd, the same as last month)

==========================================================

The rankings are cut off after 3 entries, except for 2 entries and an entry in May.

Those with one or two entries in either or both contests can see their rankings in the excel files for the contests. 

CET-only entrants are shown at their CET ranks, names italic and indented. 

==========================================================

CET rankings are for the 62 who have entered 4-6 contests. Last month (April) there were 72 at 3-5, ten of those

have dropped down into non-ranked territory. In this table, a forecaster with 2 or 3 entries is given an equivalent

CET rank from total points, at the position that they would have with those points, and the rank has a letter to indicate

both that fact and relative position if more than one occupy a space between official ranks. Therefore "31A" would mean

enough points to be 31st, first of those, 31B would mean same but second of those. This is also applied to the rankings

for average CET error. In the EWP contest, there is no difference in ranking methods so your rank is whatever you have

attained, but for average error the same cutoff is used (four of six required) and the ranks of others with 2-3 forecasts

are handled the same way as the CET equivalent rankings.

EWP final figure is in, 122.5 mm -- changes no scoring for anyone except that shillitocettwo moves into a tie for 25th (from 26th) and gets 0.19 more points, not enough to change annual ranking of 40th although within .01 now of 39th. Everyone else would see no change from the already available scoring on the excel file. 

This means we went from 10th driest April (now adjusted to 13.6 mm in tables) to 7th wettest May (just ahead of 122.4 mm 1924 in 8th -- the six years with a wetter May were 1773 (151.8), 1782 (142.4), 1967 (140.7), 1932 (129.6), 1843 (129.1) and 1886 (123.1). 

The CET values of those six, plus 8th place 1924, were 10.3 (1773), 9.0 (1782), 10.4 (1967), 10.5 (1932), 10.4 (1843), 10.3 (1886), and 11.6 (1924).
