A ground soaking 0.0 mm so far this month with the last rainfall on the
29th Aug.

20 dry days in a row and having to water the garden and veggie plot
every night to stop it shrivelling up.

I've just been attempting to understand the concepts of this thing:

I will give it up as a bad job after ending my research he

Climatology is for idiots obviously, otherwise I'd be able to understand something about it, surely?

Nothing here Hugh, still 0.9 for the month.

Despite a few isolated thunderstorms, many areas have still had only 3mm or less
(Up to 18th http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/~brugge/sumr.jpg )

I thought we might get a sharp shower yesterday afternoon, as the sky looked very unstable, and a decent Cb passed off Lands End. (I think they may account for much of the 6mm recorded this month on Scilly). It all cleared away though.

Thundery activity well to the north of Penzance now.

Yesterday's surf conditions at Sennen. http://www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf..htm That sandbar which has formed along the beach can give quite a nice break, as it did around noon yesterday when I was down. Normally 1 weak rip current (visible yesterday where the waves are held back in the channel just in front the main surfing group). When the rip is that weak it's an easy way out when the waves are big.

The beach is still arranged rather differently to normal, after the winter storms, so the 'safe' swimming area has been in a different area to normal. The typical rip being in the middle of the beach, whilst typically it's nearer the car park, feeding into a current which flows between Cowloe (a big rock) and the harbour. Best to avoid that as I once discovered, around 40 years ago.

Really? I haven't watered my veg at all this month and they are still
growing and cropping well. Grass is still green and growing despite only 1.2
mm rain this month. Your soil must naturally be very dry. My soil is stony
but somehow it stays moist below 2cm depth. Had to water the patio plants of
course but only once every 4 days or so.
