Default West Cornwall - Fine but interesting weather.

The temperature in the Spring sunshine rose steadily to 11C by noon, by which time the whole Cornwall was basically clear of cloud. The gradient wind was ESE, but a sea breeze set in on both coasts so by 13:00 it was NE at Camborne, and quite a stiff SE at Penzance. In fact @ 14:00:-


Sea breeze here too.

It arrived fairly abruptly at 11:25 with a rapid shift in wind direction
from NNW to southerly and an increase in wind speed from intermittent
calm/1 mph to a steady 11 mph.

I was in the garden at the time and it felt distinctly chilly after the
previous calm conditions. The temperature fell back a bit too from 13.7C
to 12.4C before rising again to reach a maximum of 15.3C this afternoon.
