Cold winds of cutbacks sweeping through the MetO?

Weak frontal system crossing Cornwall at the moment. Cloudy with a
couple of light showery bursts in the last hour.Few rain drops on the
Scilly Cam as well http://www.scillyman.co.uk/Web_Cam.html

Hi, Paul,

Exeter often is relatively cool. I think one of our SW(England)
colleagues explained a week or so ago that it was on a cold air
drainage site.
However, a few strange things seem to happen down there (;0)
It used to be far from the madding crowd.

But it's not in a 'cold air' part of the country, so where does it come
from?

Can't answer that one, Paul.
At the moment it seems to be giving Copley a run for its money, so it
must be a cool place to live!!
There is always the chance of a faulty AWS, no - perish the thought.
