Although yesterday 2nd was a grotty day with murky conditions and at times
foggy with visibility below 200 metres, the steady rain was just perfect for the garden, never too heavy, just steady and giving just under 6mm by midnight. I would have like to have seen a good storm of course, but this was far better for the garden which is now refreshed and looking simply great. Broad beans are the best I have ever grown they are now 4 feet high and not a blackfly in sight. Brussels again the best I have ever grown with strong growing plants. Raspberries are still green but very plentiful and all othetr veg. are thriving, peas, leeks, kale, runners, courgettes, french beans, lettuce and cucumbers. Sorry for the gardening stuff but this is all down to the favourable weather I'm sure during the Spring and last winter. Today is fresher, broken cumulus cloud, sun coming out, F3 W-SW wind bringing in sparkling clean Atlantic air, temp. 16.2C and DP 12.2C at 0900. Simply perfect (for me)!

Yesterday I opened the doors and windows at 0530 BST and by 0700 the temperature in my lounge had dropped to a pleasant 20C (from 24C). More breeze today and it's dull but by 0900 the temperature had got no lower than 23C (again from 24C). Humidity 65%. Yeugh! -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK.

Whilst I'm sure you are right Will to thank the Spring and winter weather
for your great floral bonanza ,I thought the punters out there might be interested in the following quote from Luke Howards 'Climate of London' 'The clear hot sunshine of the greatest part of this period (June 1818) had the effect of establishing the summer in our climate in a manner to which we have long been unaccustomed.The deeper green of the foliage and the richer colour of many flowers in particular presented a striking contrast to their appearance during the last two seasons'. See,I'm not the only one to appreciate hot summer weather ! RonB "Will Hand" wrote in message ...

Will (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) -- Dewpoint's still 17C here Will, in fact Penzance heliport's reporting a dewpoint of 18C. Force 4 SW breeze taking the edge off the humidity. Temperature currently just over 20C (11:15). Last nights minimum thankfully lower at 15.0C. Mainly clear skies over the sea, small/medium cumulus readily form over the land. Graham Penzance |

Graham Penzance Definitely 'feels' different today but as you say dew points haven't fallen that much (Exeter currently 14C v 16C this time yesterday). I suspect the marked changed will come post cold front on Sunday which introduces theta-w's of around 10-12 more generally compared to the current values of around 14-16. 850mb theta-w http://meteocentre.com/models/ukmet_...W_00_panel.gif T+60 http://www.wzkarten.de/pics/brack1a.gif Jon. |

With the dewpoint being very close to the SST lately, the sea has been steaming at times, very evident over beaches, but right across the bay the visibility has been poor at the lowest levels. The bottom photo at www.cornwallcam.co.uk/ shows it up rather well. Distinct line (around 50') above which the visibility improves Graham Penzance |
