Moderate rain for the last hour or so. The 1st wet afternoon, and
indeed the 1st significant rain in daylight hours since 6.3mm on 17th
June.

The showers earlier this month fell almost exclusively at night. The
only day since 17th June with 1mm of rain during daylight hours was
2nd with 3.3mm and almost all of that fell in 15 minutes.

Still, should be back to inland convection in a couple of days.

I seem to remember it's done very well for weather in recent years.

Looks OK actually. Sticking my neck out, sunny spells, chance of a
shower, moderate breeze, top temperature 19-20C. Possibly 21C.
Probably the best day of the next few.

Yes, they are usually pretty lucky.
Your forecast will suit me - not too hot for the animals either.

Well, just to contradict you, Graham, we had a torrential downpour around
lunchtime. Flooding in the fields and the shire horses were looking
decidedly dejected :-)

Yes, sorry about that, saw it on Spotlight.

My forecast would have been OK if you were in Penzance (Max 19.7C -
good sunny spells breezy, 25 minute fairly heavy shower 12:15-12:45
sort of time, dropping 3.6mm, with a very light shower 16:00 - about
0.1mm) but not, unfortunately, in Stithians. The showery trough seemed
to grind to a bit of a halt, with intense downpours running up the
Lizard, rather than up the the spine. I could see it across the bay
from the sunshine in Penzance around 13:30, the cb looked rather
impressive! The bright echos over Stithians show up well on the 13:00
& 13:30 radar.

From 14:00 the rain became aligned with the spine of Cornwall as
usual, which is what I'd expected to happen rather earlier in the day.
(At least that's my excuse.)
