When I checked the forecast at 08:45, a 10% chance of rain @ 08:00 & 09:00. It's been raining since since before 06:00, moderate to heavy the last 30 minutes, a dark cloud & 2 raindrops. It's quite fine, the radar doesn't do it justice. Those gaps in the echoes are still wet.

I can understand discrepancies like this when it's showery, but this is a well forecast occlusion giving prolonged rain. As it's still distinctly wet out on Scilly, not set to stop anytime soon, so at least 4-5 hours of continuous rain, possibly more. I'm not impressed.

Hopefully, much more summer like tomorrow.

Just as I posted that, the clearance reaches Scilly

Skybus flights from Lands End still on hold / delayed due to poor weather conditions https://twitter.com/IOStravelupdate

Given by the slow and eratic movement of the front, the clearance will still be a while reaching Penzance

Still a 10% chance of rain but a complete transformation in the weather at 11:00. A rapid clearance to warm sunny periods. Now (14:00) around 21C, time for a swim. Somewhere quiet - not at Sennen until September.

.. . though it does look rather nice, surprising how quickly the wave's cleaned up.
