No rain in Cornwall this morning that I'm aware of, certainly not in
the far south west. 0.2mm the most I've seen anywhere in Cornwall for
the 24 hours to 18:00.

Nothing here in Stithians (8 miles SW of Truro) either.

Perhaps Colin meant to refer to SE England, where there has indeed been
light rain on and off.

Radar seems to show rain just over the tip of Cornwall

quite an accurate match with the map underneath. Rain in the Scilly Isles

Lands End recorded 0.1mm yesterday ( www.landsendweather.info/ ) and
that was a little early hours drizzle.

The rainfall radar typically overstates rainfall on the Penwith (Lands
End) peninsula. In particular there are occasions when there is a semi
permanent 'shower' near Porthcurno.

Scilly was wet, but it's not part of Cornwall of course.

I'd like to make it clear I'm not having a dig at Colin, who's reports
& links I find very useful. It's just that the rainfall radar can be
misleading, therefore it's best to check whether it actually rained or
not.

Really?
I'd always assumed offshore islands like Scilly would be
part of their nearest county.
So what kind of jurasdiction do they have there, are they
effectively a 'county' in ther own right?

.... the Isles of Scilly are administered by the Council of the Isles
of Scilly, which is a unitary authority responsible for all the
'normal' council matters from education to rubbish
collection/disposal.

The islands are part of the Duchy of Cornwall, and the Duchy own a
reasonable chunk of the buildings. The Duchy has owned (effectively)
the islands since the 14th century.

Even after 2009 April (new unitary authority for Cornwall), the IoS
will not be subsumed into the administrative infrastructure of
Cornwall.

For all these reasons, a lot of people will tend to refer to the
broader area of the SW peninsula (for geographic purposes) as "
Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly ".

I'm not sure the Shetland islanders like being regarded as part of
Scotland - but perhaps that's another story ;-)
