It's been 19 nights here, now - though a few have gone close. Haven't
had any really hot nights either, fortunately - nothing above 15C.

Paul,

Sea temperature's around 17-18 (see weather.noaa.gov/pub/fax/PTUK21.TIF), so
it needs to fall calm, which I doubt it
will. Also XCWeather at 16:20 showed the dewpoint at 13 degrees for Penzance
Heliport.

The last sub 10 degrees I've recorded in August was 21/08/2000.

If we get a decent warm spell next week, hopefully the sea will return to
the 19 degrees it achieved mid-July.

Graham
