A minimum of 18.6C last night, the 4th warmest in my 27 year record.

A bright morning, with a fairly thin cover of medium / high level frontal cloud. Faint shadows much of the time. Some lower cloud now, especially inland.

A few photos from this morning at Land's End, showing just how brown & colourless the cliffs are. I would say it's the driest the landscape has looked in the far SW since 1989.

Will be interesting to see if it looks the same on 27th August.
You're wishing the summer away Graham.

Oh no, I wouldn't want to do that. I'm rather assuming summer will be firmly back this time next week - at least in the south.

Even so, a few cloudier days would be good, as it means I can park at Sennen whilst the softer element of the bucket & spade brigade enjoy M&S. Somehow it's more fun bodyboarding when the weather's a bit more iffy, there's more of a wave, and it's all much quieter.
