That is a good example of how chaotic climate is, with unseasonal high
rainfall only a few hundred miles away from drought conditions. No
wonder that global warming is difficult to detect :-(

Yes and I'm amazed such a small area as the British Isles, on the synoptic
scale, can have such huge variations.

With a situation like this there are often very big variations in just
a few miles. Currently about 8C different between Camborne & Penzance,
just 7 miles or so apart. (Opposite coasts.)

Also there's been flooding near Truro/Falmouth (info from MCC) whilst
Penzance has 5 completely dry days, and looks almost certain to have a
drier than average May.
