I realise this might be seen as a game (as in fitting for Forum Games) but is it not also a contest (as in fitting for the Contests forum)? I would support moving this to the Contests board (with Vike91's approval of course) and naming it as an unofficial Contest.

(... and I will take part if I am near my computer on the 15th )

Sorry, I thought the Contest board is only for official contest.

At the unofficial contest admins approvals, would someone kindly move this topic to the Contests board, please?

EDIT: Thanks, Schik!

Can you pull the deadline date so that it is at least 8 days before the exact date. There is no reason to guess until the deadline because the forecast becomes more accurate as time goes on. After eight days the weather can change significantly, so guessing earlier isn't punished as much.

I've moved the deadline to the earlier date (3 days earlier) from 15.4.2014 to 12.4.2014. The deadline is now 10 days before the measuring date.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Hmmm - very tricky this - we could all be well off the mark - it could be snowing!

I'll say 17.2°C.
