Default Penzance - Some Rain!

A little drizzle this morning, but it's now sunny spells, excellent visibility and a very attractive sky.


And some rain here too in the form of one huge but very short-lived
downpour late morning that within just a few minutes deposited 13.0 mm
in the gauge.

Despite the torrential rain the ground just soaked it up with no surface
run-off. Quite amazing really given how heavy the rain actually was.

Then the sun came out and with hardly any wind the temperature rose to
22.4C and a DP of 19.1C made for, yet again, another humid feeling day.
Norman would have loved it (do you get DPs of over 19C in Tideswell often?).

Breeze has picked up through the afternoon lowering the humidity. As you
say Graham, beautiful cloud-scapes and thankfully I activated the
time-lapse camera so I will upload that later.

(18:00): 21.0C, RH 75%, DP 16.0C, 1006 hPa (S), Wind 7 mph WNW.
