After a very wet but not particularly windy evening, there have been some very squally winds following the front.

In Penzance gust of 49mph (the wind is offshore) 66kt gust at St Ives.

16.4mm of rain in the 24 hours to 09:00. Briefly mild yesterday, max 12.2C, minimum of 6.5C last night. December rainfall was normal here, but it's been a very wet start to 2016.

(OT) Couple of humpback whales off St Ives recently, a very rare event. They've been hanging around so plenty of photos on the web. Still, large numbers of whale watchers has given tourism a January boost

My daughter was gutted she missed the Whales by 24 hours! She had a
great time though. Similar gusts here as the front went through just
after midday.
