Default Penzance - A lot more rain overnight.

Well after 22.2mm of rain for the 24 hours ending 09:00 on 30th (very
similar totals over the far SW e.g 21mm at Camborne for 24 hours to
18:00 yesterday), a cloudy day followed with a few spots of rain now &
again.

Last night was seriously wet, with another 33.1mm by 09:00 this
morning, the large part of which fell (certainly 25mm) in 4 hours
from 22:00 yesterday. Now the next wave on the front is bringing more
very heavy rain. It will be interesting to see what the 3 day total
turns out to be.

Luckily the period from 10th-27th saw just 4.8mm, so the rivers were
low & the ground very dry prior to the deluge.

Fronts clearing to the east now - www.nci-stives.org/basiccamera.htm -
and much improved visibility. Not much more more rain this morning,
certainly far less than I expected, the heavy stuff seem to pass just
to the east.

Some good surf coming up, generally 4-6' forecast for the next few
days. So when the wind drops out, Sunday & Monday hopefully (

be some great conditions on the north coast.
