Over Cornwall that is. Wind all over the place as Cb develop & fade,
mainly along the spine, and down the Lizard.

Temperature's around 15C in the sunny intervals. With the air this
unstable that's high enough to set off a sea breeze, so area's near
the north coast in particular could get some intense rain.

Earlier this afternoon we had very heavy rain for a short time (15-20
minutes) up here in Stithians. Saves having to water my sweet peas!

Couldn't be more different along the coast at Southampton - solid murk
during daylight hours for the past 2 days. Guess you must be the other
side of the front?

It hasn't proved to be a great flash weather warning by the Met Office
for Devon this time. The activity has been further West. I know the
flash warning was for "the SW", but that stretches about 150 miles
from the East Devon border to Land's End! The flash warning map does
highlight Devon and it does say that the Met Office has an 80%
confidence of severe weather. This has been the 20% of the time when
they weren't right for my area, though they may well have been for
Cornwall. Still a couple hours to go, but little on the radar to
suggest severe weather here. It happens.

Sun came out here later this afternoon, and at 17:00 it was a sticky
feeling 16C, a slight sea breeze pushed the showers well inland.

See www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/showers.html looking ENE towards
the Camborne area from my garden.

Pleasant enough evening now.

Apparently it was a nice day on Scilly (where I'm off to for a week on
Tuesday - good place to be in unstable weather)

Certainly a very different day to yesterday, when it was cool, damp &
dismal. Around 3C warmer today (max 16C rather than 13C) with sunny
intervals and a few large drops of rain, not amounting to that much,
apart from a heavy burst around 13:30. Then all the activity moved
inland and towards the north coast.

Well, I find it bizarre and slightly annoying (now) that the severe
warning is still valid for Dorset - apparently these reflect
'confidence' that something 'might' happen.

Currently there is an advisory for heavy rain right across the far south
with a moderate risk level. This was issued early on Friday for Saturday.
