Default Penzance - Much warmer night. May sunshine should hit 100 hours today

The SE breeze helped keep the minimum temperature up to 11.1C last night.

Another sunny day, just a few wisps of high cloud. Much breezier though, that will restrict the temperature near the south coast. If the wind backed just 10 degrees it would make Penzance warmer.

Camborne & Bosullow should hit the 100 hours of sunshine mark today. When Penzance had sunshine, May was the sunniest month, the cold sea helps. These days the official extreme lists are pretty meaningless. Both Falmouth & Penzance have been the sunniest place in the UK over a year, Falmouth coming 2nd for the sunniest ever year. Now we have just Culdrose & Camborne, so west Cornwall has officially become less sunny.
