Default [WR] Dartington, South Hams - it's just not cold!

Today's max +3.8 deg. C

Temp. +3.7 deg. C, DP +1.7 deg. C, RH 87%, wind 030 04KT, pressure 1027
hPa.

Considering the source and partial thickness of the airmass I am amazed how
comparatively mild it is, and it feels it! It has been a surprisingly wet
day in the South Hams, fairly constant light to MOD RA between 0800 and
1800, but just not that cold. The average temperature since midnight last
has been +3.4 deg. C and with the DP still positive it feels not too bad. I
will be most surprised if anything of a more wintry nature falls from the
sky in this part of Devon during the next few days at least....

Hi Richard, diferent world up here. Now at 2330 it's 0.0 deg C, with a fresh
dusting of snow on the ground.
At a guess, I think you may be in for a surprise, but then I don't know much
about South Ham's weather, only Dartmoor, where snow is guaranteed.

ATB,

Will.
