In Penzance gust of 49mph (the wind is offshore) 66kt gust at St Ives.
Driving back after dropping the In-laws off at Bristol Airport at 09:00
this morning it was wild'n'windy. Especially around Junction 23 of the
M5. Loads of debris blowing around and it was hard to keep the car
within the lanes as the wind was so strong. Some pretty beefy showers too.
Things calmed down dramatically after Junction 29 and it was sunshine
shining through a crystal clear blue sky all the way home from then.
My maximum gust here was 29 mph at midnight so those squally winds
stayed well to the north of here. Not much rain, 5.7 mm for the whole event.
After a high of 11.5C at 3:22 this morning, the temperature has been
around 9C for much of the afternoon. There was 6.3 hours of quite strong
(for the time of year) sunshine.
