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.

May sunshine now up to 100 hours even up at Bosullow on the moors behind Penzance.

Blustery ESE breeze today has limited the temperature change. 11.1C minimum, 15.4C maximum. Wind's stayed just onshore. Unbroken sunshine (so far)

No surf, https://surfbeachbar.co.uk/sennen-web-cam/ , though forecast to pick up tomorrow. Great wind / kite surfing conditions in Mount's Bay.

West Cornwall, the Lleyn peninsula and the Hebrides have appeared to have done best for sunshine this month - so far.

Down your way this week (nr Zennor) and jolly sunshine to be had all day long.
And what a sunset this evening...

Noticed a picture on your website of the 'Gry' in Penzance harbour, caught my eye because I used to work for the company.

Apart from that easterly breeze, which should hopefully decrease slowly tomorrow, another good day.

It's surprising how many people who stay in St Ives never venture along the north coast to Zennor & Pendeen, a totally different world.
