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.

Swell's been building all day, and is now very large E.g. Perranporth
for a change http://www.channelcoast.org/data_man...arts/?chart=76

Boats are pulled right to the top of the slip, as the breakwater's
only providing limited protection now. http://www.sennen-cove.com/harbourcam.htm
.. Swell now 20' at Sevenstones and increasing.

Penzance where there's been a lot of hail in the showers.
