Default West Cornwall - Steaming beaches

Lovely sunshine again this morning, the visitors are having to pinch themselves.

However, every day is different & today saw cliff top mist & steaming beaches rather than simple sea fog banks, particularly before 11:00.

Meanwhile, at Perranuthnoe, where I ended up this morning, for half an hour the beach steamed enough to give a band of mist 800 yards or so across.

Average temperature for May now 0.2C below the 1981-2010 norm, with 88% of normal rainfall - so as average a May as you can get.
