Yes, it's certainly been humid. The recent high humidity and sunshine has worked wonders for the SST. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=62107 I was involved with the Mazey Day celebrations in Pz today, am tied up tomorrow (not in a sexual way) but Monday I'm out at Sennen for a bodyboarding session. 4-6' and light offshore wind forecast - couldn't be better (hopefully). A good time is guaranteed for all - as Sgt Pepper would say.

If I sound light hearted it's probably down to today's celebrations.

Great weather for Mazey Day!

I've just checked and the off-shore 1 metre depth SSTs for this part of
Lyme Bay are now between 16.0C and 16.5C; a bit warmer nearer the shore.

I suspect the SSTs will rise even quicker next week and should reach
+20C here nearer the shore.

As the SSTs rise the sea breeze changes in character from Spring through
to autumn. In Spring it drops the temperature and humidity and has a
cool and dry feel. Today with the SSTs +16C the sea breeze is starting
to take on a more humid feel. By late August/early September with SSTs
18C to +20C, the sea breeze can bring very humid air with mist and cloud
forming on the cliff tops - something reminiscent of the Trade Winds
I've experienced.
