Yes I was surprised at that, the 1300 chart showed the front still
over Cornwall, so I'd have expected for the central south coast to
have a sunny morning with only high cloud, with no precipitation until
at least 1600. Instead it was overcast from the outset in this area
(Southampton) and the first drizzle was as early as 0930. The various
forecasts seemed to be suggesting anything between 20 and 22. So why
did it cloud over so very early in the day - did the front move in
much quicker than expected?

It's fairly sunny currently in St Ives Bay & Mount's Bay.
www.nci-stives.org/basiccamera.htm Beach car parks are already
filling.

Camborne is up in the misty low cloud, so the reported recent weather
for Penzance (15.7!! - go to Penzance forecast & click recent) is
actually for Camborne, which is misty and already around 3C cooler!

So anybody using the MetO site to monitor forecast against reality
(Martin?) for St Ives Bay or Mount's Bay, is currently getting serious
misinformation. Already over the forecast max here (in fact last
nights minimum of 16.1C, was closer to the forecast max for today than
the current temperature)

I don't expect the sun to last too long, so I'm off for a dip.
