Near normal temperatures, wettest August since 162.9mm in 2015, but sunshine was above normal. In fact it was the sunniest August since 220.4 hours in 2014. There were brief hot spells to the east, but not in west Cornwall.
The 1st week saw temperatures rather above normal, some warm sunshine, also a few showers. Often breezy. 8th-18th were unsettled. Winds were generally W-SW, fresh at times, with temperatures mostly near normal. The rain was mostly showery in nature. The sunshine, often tempered by the wind. The 16th was a wet dismal day. From 19th-25th there was a dry spell. Rather cool & breezy at first, but it did slowly warm up. The 23rd was really the best day of the month, unbroken strong sunshine, hardly a breath of wind.
