Default Cornwall Flooding - very localised.

The media are saying west Cornwall, but it's mainly a narrow area from Redruth & Truro up to Newquay, Crantock Perranporth that's been affected this morning, Crantock in perticular seems to have caught a deluge. In Penzance it's been largle dry since 09:00, in fact we've been sitting nicely between 2 narrow rain bands, the intense one to the east. Land's End http://www.landsendweather.info/ shows the mainly dry conditions for the last few hours in what I'd call west Cornwall.

We did have 21mm overnight, the most significant rainfall since May. This came after a dry and brighter than expected afternoon yesterday for the Newlyn raft race, yesterdays rain largely passing to the north and over hills.

Recent rain does mean the grass is growing again, which is a bit of a pain.
