Just as I was getting used (and loving) to our new Mediterranean climate
(I wish), things have gone all awry down 'ere on the normally sunny(ish)
shores of south Devonshire.

That funny little low pressure (what's that all about then?) stuck with
its centre just to the west of Cornwall has been a nuisance for several
days now. Today was the worst of all days with intermittent drizzle and
sea fog, and a maximum of only 16C early this afternoon made me reach
for the heater (and not the air conditioning) on a drive back from Exeter.

I wish it (the low pressure) would b*gger off!

The day wasn't a complete miserable affair as the sun did come out early
evening and warm things up a little to 20.6C.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better (it couldn't have got much worse....
maybe 7th July 2012 was....).

There's been quite a lot of cloud here in Surrey today, but still with
some sunny periods. I suspect it's been cooler than recent days as a
result, but it's felt extremely humid.

Max here 24.8°C, dewpoint 15-16 which is quite a bit higher than recently. There has been some hefty Cu con visible, mainly to the south, but no showers.

Some of us would rather like some cloud and cool days!

Last night it did finally rain here in london on and off for an hour.
Enough to wet the ground and make a few shallow puddles but the road was
dry again within a couple of hours of it stopping and this morning the
humidity is pretty bad.

Cool & damp in Pz yesterday, but not the previous 3 days. Monday was the hottest day of the year in Pz, and it was hot at sennen Tues.
It appeared we were in the sunny centre of the shallow low.

Too hot in London this morning.
