Default [WR] Otter Valley, Devon - Warmest day for a long one

Unbroken scorching sunshine all day and rising humidity levels made for
a rather warm day after a cool(ish) start:

Maximum = 26.9C
Minimum = 10.8C
Maximum DP = 19.0C
Sunshine = 12.6 hours (up to 19:15)

As with yesterday the sea breeze arrived early (10:15) but was very
light and made little impact on the temperature.

Today was the warmest day since the 6th July (though many days have come
very close) and what a superb holiday weekend this is turning out to be.
Possibly even warmer tomorrow. This sunny, dry and warm spell is now on
its 7th day and is helping this month recover from the dull, wet and
cool weather that has dominated since the 20th July.

A warm, cloudless evening and a just weakening light sea breeze.

Monthly sunshine total now up to 152 hours.

22.8C and unbroken sunshine here after an overnight min of 13.6C

(OT) I understand Penzance failed to win back the greatest number of Pirates in 1 place (approx 14,800 in Hastings) by 100 - same as in 2014!

I think the problem is access. The traffic was queued back from Penzance to Camborne, mid aft! No hope of people getting parked remotely near unless the arrived by mid morning,so most of the pirates were local.

A few pics, the top one at the time of the count (which was done by scanning wristbands in/out of the count area.) http://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cor...s-break-389188
