There are normally a few days in Spring when there is a 10C difference between the north & south coasts (only 4 miles or so apart). Today could be one of those days.

At 10:00 just 8.4C at St Ives, similar at Camborne.

With the wind east of north, it's clear out at Sennen, I'm pleased to say, though you can see the fog coming around the Cape at times http://www.sennen-cove.com/harbourcam.htm .

It's often quite blustery on the edge of a bank of sea fog, when it's basically calm in it and a couple of miles clear of it. I've never been quite sure why, I assume it's down to the sharp temperature contrast, but I'm open to ideas.
