Sunny until 0900Z, then cloudy with sunny intervals when a broken
layer of Sc spread across. During late morning, some showers were
visible a long way out to sea to the SW. Cu hum at two levels; a
few puffs of lower based Cu over the sea and more substantial
amounts of higher Cu inland making the sky look duller in that
direction. It's reasonably bright here under the Sc sheet with
breaks to the SE. Excellent visibility. Wind WNW'ly F3.
RH 52%. Max temp so far today 7.4

Quite exceptional visibility here in west Cornwall. I posted a pic here. https://groups.google.com/g/weathera.../c/RtC2Ic0iLAY Not enhance in any way, the colour of the sky was just amazing. Also, the prolonged sunshine gave a maximum of 10.0C in Penzance. A perfectly decent afternoon.

0.2mm overnight ruined my run of dry days. Twice that's happened recently. I tried to make it 0.1mm, but I'd have felt guilty. Tinder dry here, I'm going to have to water the front Cornish hedge (wall with plants to the English), everything's wilting. That'll make it rain.
