: No rain in Cornwall this morning that I'm aware of, certainly not in
: the far south west. 0.2mm the most I've seen anywhere in Cornwall for
: the 24 hours to 18:00.

Radar seems to show rain just over the tip of Cornwallhttp://www.meteox..com/h.aspx?r=holiday&jaar=-3&soort=loop24uur*Perhaps not
quite an accurate match with the map underneath. * Rain in the Scilly Isles
though *http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/EGHE.html.

Lands End recorded 0.1mm yesterday (www.landsendweather.info/) and
that was a little early hours drizzle.

The rainfall radar typically overstates rainfall on the Penwith (Lands
End) peninsula. In particular there are occasions when there is a semi
permanent 'shower' near Porthcurno.

Scilly was wet, but it's not part of Cornwall of course.

I'd like to make it clear I'm not having a dig at Colin, who's reports
& links I find very useful. It's just that the rainfall radar can be
misleading, therefore it's best to check whether it actually rained or
not.
