Default Last Day of Summer.....

Excellent visibility today with a pristine deep blue sky and not even a
hint of any haze/contrail/cloud anywhere.

A strong sea breeze has been blowing since mid-morning keeping the
temperature pegged back a little but the humidity high, such is the
warmth of the sea now. The last time the sea felt this warm was in
August 2005.

Unbroken, scorching sunshine got the temperature up to 26.1C.

I see there was a sea-breeze convergence line down the spine of the
peninsula this afternoon.

Pressure falling though I am still doubtful we're going to get much rain
here tomorrow to green the brown countryside.

Nearly half-way through the month and what a sizzler:
1st - 15th July
Mean minimum = 13.6C
Mean maximum = 26.3C
Mean = 20.0C
Rain = 21.4 mm (of which 19.1 mm fell in one spell of thundery rain)
Sunshine = 164 hours.
