Dewpoint 16.5C, air temperature currently 19.8C following a few bursts
of sunshine when it reached 20.2C. Light wind so feeling very, very
muggy, a warm night ahead. Ideal conditions for raising the SST
though.


Felt muggy over my way too, Graham, with Exeter now reporting a dew point
of
17C (air temp 19C).

A plume of high theta-w air (16+) is advecting east so air temperatures
are
likely to be even higher tomorrow assuming a decent amount of insolation
to
the lee of high ground across southern areas. 00Z MetO GM

Cloud's fairly well broken in Penzance at the moment, (20:40) and
there seems to be less low cloud south of Ireland now, so I'm hoping
for some spells of sunshine along sheltered parts of the south coast
of west Cornwall tomorrow. If so it'll probably causing a mass exodus
of holiday makers from the north to south coast of Cornwall around
lunchtime.

Lots of caravans, boats, cars full all heading south down A38 this
afternoon. Moorland traffic is increasing too, amazing how many cars don't
seem to have a reverse gear - even nowadays :-)
2100 Temp. 15.9 DP 14C and max. 18.3C (about normal). Naff all wind and very
midgy. Humidity has also given us a plague of flies in the house presumably
from the dead bird that fell down through the eaves off its nest a month
ago - nice!
