A lovely warm day here in Devon with long sunny spells and light winds,
feeling quite humid too after all the rain over the last few days.


The sky darkened for a while early this afternoon in a light NE wind,
threatening a shower then a sea breeze started up from the south and pushed
all the gloom to the north and reintroduced clear, sunny skies.


A calm, humid but pleasant evening.


Max temp 22.4°C, rainfall 0.0 mm, sunshine 6.6 hours.

Been dry here since Monday Nick, as you say a very humid feel in
yesterdays sunshine.


Sunny again this morning, but the wind's in the NE now, which has
brought some sea fog onto the north coast from St Ives to Newquay.

Torrential rain here in Stithians around teatime yesterday. Flooding down
at Perran-ar-Worthal (Norway Inn) on the road between Falmouth and Truro.

Early morning fog now gradually clearing.

I noticed the raqin on the radar, interesting to know how intense it
was. You need to move to the coast!

I was in Mousehole doing the changeover in unbroken sunshine this
morning. Interesting seeing the sea fog along the north coast, and a
line of what appeared to be almost stationary cumulus down the Lizard.
Around 09:30 the fog was drifting through Marazion marsh as far as the
Mount, but it had all burnt back to the immediate north coast by
10:30.

Currently (12:45) 19.6C in Penzance, already mking it the warmest day
of the week. I'm just about to take my daughter for the 1st real swim
(as opposed to a bit of bodyboarding) of 2008.
