Default Accurate forecast

I'm off to find my garden chair, a sun hat and a good book ....

Yesterday saw prolonged sunshine, 23.9 degrees, light winds in Penzance, but
you probably wouldn't have thought so from the way the weather was
summarised.
We had our rain Sunday morning.

I changed my mind, clarted myself with factor 25 and went down to the Lein
Nature Reserve for a walk in the sunshine. The car thermometer (which I am not
sure that I trust) was reading 25ºC. It was very pleasant with the cooling
effect of the breeze; there were white horses on the sea, so it must have been
about Force 4.

Amazingly, there were clouds of butterflies around - mostly Scotch Argus, but
also Speckled Wood, Meadow Brown and Common Blue. I wonder that they can manage
to fly at all in such windy conditions.

Still no sign of rain - not a cloud in sight.
