23.8C at 11:30.

http://www.met-office.gov.uk/weather...ncornwall.html is currently
showing a forecast max of 19C for Penzance. I know that they no longer
get reports from here since the PZ station shut, but even Culdrose, on
the exposed Lizard cliff top, is showing 22C, so it would be reasonable
to expect a max of 24C-25C on sheltered south coast spots. Yesterdays
firecast issued at 13:00 gave the same max, despite it being 23C at the
time (and eventually reaching 24.1C here and 23C at the seafront
heliport).

It would be nice if the MetO checked the forecasts against reality
occasionally, and had just an inkling of local knowledge.

Mind you it is an improvement. The forecast max for PZ always used to
be the sea temperature. Apparently because the forecast was computer
generated from a pont somewhere in the western approaches, which
someone called Penzance. Quite useful if you were in a small boat off
Sevenstones.
