It's never reached 20C in the last 30 years in Penzance. Plenty of high teens. 20C is unusual here in April.

So far this March has been drier, slightly warmer and rather cloudier
than normal.

1st - 27th
Mean minimum = 3.6C
Mean maximum = 12.5C
Mean = 8.1C
Rain = 37.6 mm (58%)
Sunshine = 104.4 hours


For comparison in Penzance
1st - 27th
Mean minimum = 5.6C
Mean maximum = 11.6C
Mean = 8.6C (+0.0C) (set to change!)
Rain = 49.9 mm (59%)
Sunshine (over the moors at nearby Bosullow) = 108 hours (The average sunshine over the last 10 years at Bosullow is 118.5 hours)
Sunshine at Camborne = 104 hours
Average pressure @ 09:00 = 1024mb

Set to be a bit sunnier than normal, dry & rather warm (assuming the forecast for the next 3 days is OK!).

It's been a decent month down here, driest March since 2012 & already marginally warmer than last year. Last time temperature failed to reach 10C was 13th (9.4C)
