Has anyone had any interesting weather down there?



I have not seen any reports so far.


Don't know about Devon (it's a foreign country to me) but in west
Cornwall, after a foggy start (unusually thick fog for Penzzance) 30
minutes of heavy rain 10:00-1030. It then brightened up a bit with much
improved visibility. Recently more moderate rain with brief very heavy
bursts. 8.8mm in the 4 hours 10:00 - 14:00, still raining steadily
(14:10).

All in all just plain dismal than interesting.

Just to the west Scilly had some decent spells of sunshine this
morning, the clearer skies just visible off Land's End for a while.
This allowed the temperature to climb to 18C on St. Martins, with a UV
index peaking at 4.3,

which is high for early October.

Smallish but clean wave for the surfers, winds are now only a F3 or so.

It does not look particularly nice on the Mounts Bay webcam, but there
appears to be nothing untoward on the Dawlish one.
