Default Penzance. Wind & Rain again, 200mm In Dec.

More of the same today and some pretty impressive sea conditions to go with it. http://www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm

It'll be some way short of my wettest year (2000 - 1511.6mm) due to the 1st 5 months only having around 70% of normal rainfall. However it looks set to be the wettest June-December period in my 22 years of records, the current wettest (2000 - 1086.4mm) now well in sight.

Plenty of yellow fields now, as the daffodil picking, which started very early this season, stopped over Christmas. It would be good to have more sunshine to appreciate the colour. The flowers must really be piling up on Scilly, Scillonian's in dry dock, the Gry Maritha (the cargo ship) has had few sailings due to Christmas period & bad weather, the helicopter service has closed, Skybus can't fly from Land's End as the airfields part submerged! Even if the flowers got to the mainland only people with good memories can recall a train service.
