The current dry spell is quietly becoming quite significant.

The 50 day rolling rainfall total is now 40.2mm, the lowest since May
'97. What makes it even more interesting is that this is not occuring
during the normal dry period for Cornwall (April-July).
(My highest 50 day running total being 462.8 on 1st January 2003)

Also the average Max this month has been 18.6 (19.1, 19.2, 18.6, 19.3,
19.7, 19.1, 18.1, 19.2, 16.8, 17.7, 17.8). The lowest Max's this
Autumn being 15.2 & 15.3 on 26th/27th Septermber. The SST is still 16C
( http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/fax/PTUK21.TIF ) only a degree lower
than late July.
