Default Penzance - Exciting Weather

A prolonged period of strong-gale force winds has now eased. Still
very windy in torrential rain/hail showers.
Bit less wood on the trees, and more lying in the garden this morning.

Recent gusts locally include 67mph at Land's End at 7:16, and 56 knots
at St. Ives at 8:53, so still distinctly blustery, but lulls in
between the squalls.

29.2mm of rain in the 24 hours to 09:00.

That little low late Wednesday is one to watch. Features like that
tend to give wind speeds exceeding predictions in west Cornwall. A
short period of severe NW gales can result as the wind is funnelled
around Land's End.
