Temperature's around 15C in the sunny intervals. With the air this
unstable that's high enough to set off a sea breeze, so area's near
the north coast in particular could get some intense rain.

Earlier this afternoon we had very heavy rain for a short time (15-20
minutes) up here in Stithians. Saves having to water my sweet peas!

Sun came out here later this afternoon, and at 17:00 it was a sticky
feeling 16C, a slight sea breeze pushed the showers well inland.

See www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/showers.html looking ENE towards
the Camborne area from my garden.

Pleasant enough evening now.

Apparently it was a nice day on Scilly (where I'm off to for a week on
Tuesday - good place to be in unstable weather)
