Assuming the wind data is correct, I find the sequence of temperature and
dewpoint rather odd. For a start I can't understand why your dewpoint was as
high as 19C not long before the sea breeze arrived. The air mass dewpoint was
around 15 or 16C. And then why did the temperature not fall, even though the
sea breeze had been blowing for more than half an hour.

Nick lives in a very strange place. Often very hot locally. Also I'm
not sure of his exposure, if it is a secluded garden then dewpoints
can easily be very locally high and not representative of the wider
area. Nevertheless almost certainly the decrease was due to convection. 90% of
sea breezes observable from my house at 10 miles distance are accompanied by
cumulus.
