Wow, what a difference to yesterday, which was a pleasant day on the
tip of Cornwall. The MetO site showed Camborne as the sunniest place
in the SW, and Culdrose as the warmest in the UK (13.2C) In fact it
reached 14.4C in Penzance sunny spells, probably warmer still on west
facing LIzard coves. This made it the 3rd warmest day of April, which
says a lot about the coolness of of the month, my 1st ever April to
fail to reach 15C.

Today @ 09:00 it was 6.0C with a F6-7 NE wind & heavy rain. It's
already gusted to 57kn at St. Ives, mean speed of 40mph (F8) at
Culdrose. Luckily, for St. Ives in particularly, small tides.

It is thoroughly awful out there.

Even worse on Dartmoor where, presumably, someone we know is going for
a little leg stretch.

Surely even Will wouldn't be THAT masochistic?

It actually went out last Wednesday which amazed me, as the sea was
bigger than it was this morning. I think it's because they have so
many gigs to get over in time for next week ends world championships.
http://worldgigs.co.uk/ I joined the crowed watching it as the bow
ploughed into the waves before lifting way out of the water, and that
was just the far side of Mousehole harbour., God knows (assuming
you're religious) what it was like passing Sevenstones. Then the
interest passed to the cars left on the pier overnight, nicely bent by
morning by the sheer weight of the water coming over. All offshore in
the Bay currently, but it may become interesting when the wind turns
SE & brings the swell in.
