Only a few spots of rain in Penzance this morning, enough to dampen
the ground, though not measurable.
Rain proper started 12:15. Looks like it will only last around 90
minutes.


Cold front passed over at around 15:00 with the wind direction swinging
round from SSW to NW.

The CF deposited all of 1.4 mm of rain, and the maximum gust was 25 mph.

Temperature slowly dropped during the rain from a max of 11.2°C, down to
9.8°C just prior to the CF, then it abruptly dropped around 2 degrees to
7.7°C as the front passed through.

The day now ends as it started, with light wind and sunshine, but a little
colder.

(17:00), 7.8°C, RH 76%, 3.8°C, 1012 hPa (R), Wind 3 mph NW.


Yeah bit colder here too. Now +3.8C at 1700. 5mm rain and a 3 degree temp.
drop on the cold front.
Just been putting the final touches to my route tomorrow. As it is going to
be such a nice day, I've lengthend it by a mile. Max. +2C wind chill -4C and
scattered snow showers above 1500 feet tomorrow, should be good.
