Well after just 2.3 mm rain only so far this August it looks like the more
normal deluges are on their way!!!
It is going to be quite a shock for the tourists I think. Temperatures back to
normal now too, peaking at 17-19C.

Just 1.9mm here in Penzance. It may well be a repeat of June, where 86%
of the months rainfall fell in one 24 hour period. It looks like east
Cornwall will get the most rain as the front grinds to a halt.

A better day than expected today. After a chilly night the temperature
rose nicely to a max of 20.6C around 13:00. With light winds & hazy
sunshine it felt very pleasant.Then the cloud & breeze increased a bit.



PS interesting sailing last weekend in northerly force 4-5 occasionally 6,
excellent experience in these waters in the "wild west".


The surf hasn't been wild, there's hardly any. If the lows & highs
swapped positions it would be near enough perfect. Pleasant enough
conditions for a swim this morning though, it was good to get rid of
the N wind at last.
