Yesterday a very attractive mackerel sky cleared to give good sunny spells with a generally F2-3 offshore wind descending off the moors. As a result the max of 11.2C was probably the warmest in the UK.

Clear skies early in the night allowed the temperature to drop sharply to 2.0C.

Rain arrived well before dawn. 6.6mm having fallen by 09:00, and the rain is currently moderate to heavy.

11:00 AM Sennen Swim - Lovely day for it, best weather on Christmas Day for a long time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX-Vwby3LSo

Probably the largest number at any Christmas swim in the UK. Didn't include me.

Penzance

Also had a min of 1.8c in Mylor.
Glorious on Gyllyngvase beach Falmouth in the afternoon... lots of
swimmers
