Default Mist - What mist.

The MetO were not only predicting mist here all day, but if you go to
the Penzance forecast, click on recent past you will discover it has
indeed been misty - except it hasn't. There's been a lot of bright
weather with warm (up to 18C) sunny spells all around Mount's Bay.
www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/Nomist.html In fact the Lizard is
visible from Penzance (10 miles or so)

It was beautiful down on Praa Sands beach at 14:00, sun & smallish
glassy surf. Shorts & T shirt weather.

Sadly, the MetO no longer have a clue what it's like on the Cornish
coast most of the time (On Sunday they can't even get conditions from
Pz heliport - it's shut.) So they use nearby places like Culdrose as a
source of recent weather. It's a bit like using reports from that Hay
Tor place and claiming that's the weather at Exmouth.

Must stop rambling on & do something useful!

Just looked at the St Ives webcams
www.nci-stives.org/basiccamera.htm looks pretty sunny on the north
coast as well (15:45)

What was the Countryfile forecast like?

It seems we are in for a major quake. I was half suspecting a Cat 4 or
5 Hurricane.

Now I know it's possible to get the forecast wrong, but when each
hour, on the hour, they give the current weather in west Cornwall as
either drizzle, mist or cloud, and it's like this
www.sennen-cove.com/today2.htm
I think they should give up & recommend people go to XCWeather or some
such site.

I've just had a brilliant idea. They could set up a network of
stations reporting current weather from places people like to visit.
They could call them resort reports. Then ....

No hurricane, but it's breezy out in the Atlantic to give this
www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm

If Will regards the current weather as boring he should have been here
today. It's looked proper 'andsome.

Nah boring, wheres the ana cold front, heavy rain and tornadoes :-)

Cloudy and dry here today, except we now have a thick soaking drizzle again now
at 1920.
But had a good moorland 14 mile walk today with no wind but hazy, visibility
circa 4 miles.
And ... saw a chink of blue sky at 0940 (yes I noted the time) - excitement
indeed! Also a bit of sun behind thin clouds at times in the morning, even more
excitement :-) Day max. a mild 14.4C.

I see Countryfile did a big article on Penzance's Lido.

Cheltenham is one of the few other places that still has one - though it
got soiled with fetid river water during the July floods...

B****r, missed it.

I often take my daughter swimming there (PZ that is, not Cheltenham).
There is no proper beach in Penzance, and swimming off the Battery
Rocks can be a bit iffy.

For those that don't know of it, I've put a picture at
www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/JP.html
It really is a pretty big pool.

There's also a picture on my weather site of course

Cumbria...

That site seems to call most standard outdoor pools as lidos - in that
case there's another one 4 miles away in Hayle. I think it's more
usual just to include the 1930s pools, which is why the site has a
page ( http://homepage.ntlworld.com/oliver....dos/lidos2.htm
) which lists 1930s lidos. The picture heading that page is Penzance
Jubilee pool. I beieve there are only 2 large 1930s sea water lidos
open, the other being Plymouth which re-opened 2 years ago & is really
struggling. Penzance is the only 1930s example to have been open
virtually continuously. It's also twice the size of Plymouth. (See
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/oliver....tm#_Toc2087959
) It's tidal in that water can only be pumped into it at high tide.
The water is now treated and is only completely changed every 8 weeks
or so. As a result the water in it as actually not that cold, usually
3-5C warmer than the sea.

Most of the show was about the Great Storm of 1987 - and I missed half
of that, too.

Fortunately Cheltenham missed the worst of that storm, though there were
a number of trees down - not to mention fences, slates, etc...
