A lovely day today http://www.sennen-cove.com/lbtdy.htm and
http://www.nci-stives.org/basiccamera.htm after yesterday evenings
rain. (8.8mm in the 24 hours to 09:00) Lovely sunrise as the last of
the frontal cloud cleared to the east.

Cornwall's had a rather different climate to the rest of the UK
lately. Todays the 8th consecutive day with an above normal maximum
temperature of 10C. (Only just made it yesterday - 10.1C late
evening). It now looks like being less cold overall than Jan'97. It's
also been a sunnier than average month.

Great for suckers who want more than just a gap http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/

Yes, always nice down there. Perhaps Graham will invite everyone from USW
down to his Holiday Cottage which regularly seems available on here ;-)

The other feature of this month besides the long cold spell is the
dullness since the 10th. I was away over the weekend 16/17th, so can't
really comment on that, but besides that, the only significant spell
of sun in Southampton since the 10th was a few hours yesterday, from
about lunchtime to sunset. All other days (except 16/17 which I can't
comment on) have been very cloudy. By contrast the first 9 days were
sunny - I guess the rest of the month will depend on whether the
imminent high will be cloudy or clear.

I'd imagine that round here this will end up as the coldest January
since 1987, assuming 4 cold days next week from around Sunday to
Wednesday. ISTR 1997 was cold until the 10th, but the rest of the
month was average or slightly mild - while this year each of the first
14 days were cold and only Saturday to Monday, so far, have been
actually mild.

It does seem well advertised, doesn't it!

One of the reasons I moved to South Devon was to escape the winters in
Yorkshire and I've never regretted that. Mind you I've learned, since
moving here, that Devonians view Cornwall as not so much as a
different county, as a different country! (Most Cornish people, of
course, know full well that they live in a different country!!) *))

Almost springlike at times today in Dawlish. Top temp of 9C in nearby
Teignmouth: http://www.greatweather.co.uk/teignmouth/current.html
The sun only peeped through for short periods though. Good enough to
work in the garden for a couple of hours this afternoon - but rather
muddy!

Much rather be in Dartmoor (the sledging capital of the SW) than Cornwall
during the winter.
Summer is different.

There was a bit of sleet here yesterday evening. Quite cool in the wind now
with temperature +4.0C, max. a rather mild +7.8C.
