This may seem insignificant but the east wind has really picked up here in
the past hour despite predictions of light winds today. Also a build up of
cumulus. Temperature has fallen back down to
-1.0C at 1230, probably giving us an ice day. It makes me wonder if the
advection of colder air from France has been underdone by the models in
relation to the warm front/triple point coming in tomorrow?

Odd. Synops at 12:00 and 13:00 across Devon are showing 4 to 7kts
SE'ly, including Liscombe at 348 metres. Berry Head easterly 5-8kts.

I'm supposed to be travelling back into London on Sunday from Kent.
We'll see.

Virtually calm in Penzance all day with a glassy sea.

It dropped to -4.8C last night, with the air more or less coming down
the spine of the peninsula. This is colder than any night in 2011, and
equals the coldest night last winter (-4.8C) on 25/12/10.

It was the lowest February min on record (since 1991) beating -3.5 on
15/2/94.

With today's sunshine and the end of the east wind, it has become
slightly less cold, reaching a max of 4.9C and is showling little sign
of falling as yet, with the wind now a F1-2 S.

Fairly low cloud base patchy Sc has been edging in from the NW, and
now the typical frontal cloud is appearing.
