January C.E.T

[Kentish Man]

With Christmas fast approaching it's time to open up a thread for people to record their predictions for the first month of the new year. 1971- 2000 average for January is 4.2C.

[damianslaw]

Won't be making my bet until at least the 29th but I'm hoping it is the coldest month of the winter, february has stolen the limelight in recent years..., hoping january will redeem itself this year.

[Cymro]

3.1 for me please

3.1 UN I FI O GWELWCH YN DDA

[Gavin P]

I may change this nearer the start of the month, but;

2.5c.

[The PIT]

I'll go for 4.7C.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

6.1oC for january 2000-2007 average gotta be more than 4.2oC surely averages have to be updated for climate change modern winters, especially january

[PersianPaladin]

5.8C

[ghrud]

I'll go for 3.9^oC B)

[Upgrade]

I'll go for 3.9^oC B)

1.2 degrees

[Cymru]

I'll go for 5.1 as an early bet.

[Guest Mike W]

5.8

[Optimus Prime]

May change before the end of the month;

3.9c

[BARRY]

my bet is 3.7c

[Don]

A bit early, but I think January 'may' be the most interesting month of Winter this year. Will give my CET estimate next week.

[SNOWPLOUGH]

3.7c but might change

[sundog]

atm i would go for 4.9c but before the end of the month i will probably change it,nearly every Jan these days is above average but maybe this yr will be closer to average so i might bring my guess down a bit nearer the time

[osmposm]

I don't really like this having to get it in early to maximize potential scoring, but I'll do it anyway: I suppose I can always change it at the last minute if something extraordinary builds on the models next week.

+4.7^oC

(A potential problem with the new scoring system? You'll probably get more people changing their guesses after putting in an early punt.....a nightmare for those trying to list them.)

[Duncan McAlister]

I like the look of the Arctic and Siberian Highs on GFS, and I've been punting way too high recently in general. So I've plucked up the courage to go for a relatively cold 3.5C

[Snowly does it]

Below the 10 year average, slightly above the 71-00 average - 4.4

[Lightning Hunter]

I'll go for 4.0°C please

[AtlanticFlamethrower]

5.1°C

[swfc]

I like the look of the Arctic and Siberian Highs on GFS, and I've been punting way too high recently in general. So I've plucked up the courage to go for a relatively cold 3.5C :lol:

IL GO 5.5C.

[summer blizzard]

May change this slightly on the 28th or 29th, but my prediction for the January 2007 CET is 4C, 0.2C below average.

In cases where there are two of the same predictions, i have simply put the original one first, hope this is okay as opposed to writin out the dayes and such.
