UKMO forecast, through local BBC TV yesterday 1800, gave heavy daytime
showers with more persistent rain in evening for the SW. This was correct for Wembury. A couple of deluges around midday gave 9 mm. However, a few miles away in Plymouth they only had 0.8 mm. Such is the challenge of forecasting showers on this scale. This evening has been more universally wet, but probably not across the whole of dear old Cornwall. Len Wood Wembury, SW Devon |

This has been a difficult forecasting period and I think probably too much localised variation to be universally right, especially within the time and scope of a TV forecast. To be honest they have had a complete nightmare for my locality being totally wrong on three rain events in five days but relatively accurate just 15 miles East or West. Dave |
