Thunderstorm between Land's End & Scilly around 19:00 yesterday evening. No thunder heard, or lightning seen, in Penzance, but 19.3mm of rain fell between 17:00 & 22:00. 18mm of this falling between 18:00 & 21:00. So a distinct end to the dry spell.

Minimum 16.7C, a bit cooler than the last 3 nights.

Mainly sunny, fresher feeling morning. Currently (08:50) 18.3C

Didn't hear any thunder here, but several hours of moderate rain dropped 7mm and filled my water butts! Perfect for the garden and golf this afternoon.

What a brilliant time of day for the drought to fully break!
