Default Grim in West Cornwall (the weather that is!)

Cloudy all day yesterday, with a maximum of 11.3C, the lowest max of the autumn by a full degree. Patchy rain from noon, gradually becoming more persistent with an increasing easterly wind.

A wet & windy night, 12.3mm of rain in the 24 hours to 09:00 today, when it was still raining. Gusting 50mph at Lands End, so the rain is horizontal.

Also very big tides. Luckily the pressure is not low, and there's not a big swell, but it is very rough & anywhere east facing is catching it. Tides around 0.2m above the already very high astronomical tide.

We've got a good 36 hours of this to go, I think I'll hibernate. It's not as if it's exciting, just grim.
