Started off dull and vaguely damp, bright by 10:30, warm feeling sunshine since noon. As has been typical of recent days, the cloud has persisted far more over the high ground of Bodmin Moor into parts of West Devon.

These fronts just aren't what they used to be, and no sign of a real change to the basically blocked conditions.

Particularly warm away from the south coast. Max (so far) 15.6C in Penzance, where the wind's onshore. Bosullow now up to 16.8C.

A very pleasant afternoon. The moderate / good visibility and flat colours of this morning being replaced by excellent visibility this afternoon. The clean air lifts the colours so. Even the F3-4 SSE wind decreased to F2. Just thin patchy generally medium level decaying frontal cloud.

not quite what the MetO ordered for the far SW, I'm pleased to say! These fronts keep crossing us at night (no measurable rain on last nights though) then linger/decay over Devon. Same looks likely to be the case tonight, should be a nice afternoon again, if a bit colder.
