After a brief scan of my old data it seems that today has been the coldest
June day I have ever recorded with a maximum of only 13.5C.

With continuously overcast skies, this is likely to have been the first
sunless day this month so far and 32 mm of rain has fallen in the last 24
hours. Now a wind has picked up gusting to over 35 mph adding to what has
been the most grottiest, mankiest and miserable June day I have ever known
(and I've known some bad 'uns!).

Currently at 18:25, 13.0C, RH 83%, DP 10.4C, 1001.9 mb (R), Wind 18.5 mph 30
sec mean.

Right on the fringes of the rain in Penzance. Even some vaguely bright
bits allowed the temperature up (!?) to 15.6C at some point, but
13-14C most of the day.

The wind has been a feature, up to 42mph in Penzance, where it's
sheltered from the NW. Very rough sea on the north coast, quite
dramatic really. So rough the Padstow lifeboat can't get back to the
slip.

Sun's just come out. I see the weather hasn't put peolple off turning
up at the Minack. www.minack.com/min02_7ref30.htm.
