Deep blue sky this morning, just a few patches of ac. The forecast

MetO may wish to do a bit of nowcasting. The chance of the forecast
rain in Penzance at 10:00 seems fairly minimal, and it's already (at
08:15) reached the forecast max of the day.

A much stickier day than yesterday.

Middle level cloud did gradually increase from the west this morning,
but kept fragmenting. A few spots of rain reached the ground around
12:30 (not a single drop in the rain gauge), bit more in the way of
blue sky now.

Wind's gone calm. Just after the spots of rain the air temperature was
21C & the dew point 18C! (as it is on Scilly.) It's feeling
exceptionally & unpleasantly muggy for the Atlantic coast. The SST out
in Mount's Bay is currently 17.7C http://www.channelcoast.org/data_man...arts/?chart=75
- so it's looking a bit steamy on the seafront. I'm a bit surprised
there isn't more in the way of sea fog banks. A bit warmer on the
north coast, currently 24C at Newquay.

24C up here in Stithians too - no rain.
