Up until now it's been a mild and very gentle winter down here in Penzance.
The strongest gust so far this Autumn / Winter being only 51mph (so far!)
which is very unusual. Only 11 days have failed to reach 10 degrees
centigrade since 1st October, the coldest day saw a max of 8.1 degrees.

As a result there are not just a few daffodils out, which is the norm for
January down here, but whole areas are in full bloom. See
www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/temp1101.html for a photo taken today.

Of course it's all changing now. 18mm rain last night, another 14mm so far
since 09:00. We've just had a thunderstorm with large hail and some quite
violent gusts.
