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.

Far less sea breeze here today, hence the convergence cloud only really started from around Redruth upwards. Just a few fairly randomly place small Cu inland. Camborne was a fair bit warmer as no sea breeze at all, makes a change for that location. Penzance, conversely a bit cooler (23.2C) as no north coast sea breeze to kill the gentle onshore wind.

Penzance (1st - 14th July
Mean Max 23.4C
Mean Min 15.7C
Mean 19.6C (+2.7)
Rain 6.9mm
Sunshine (Bosullow) to current time today (15th)
Latest version of the sun recorder 153 hours
Previous version 150 hours.

Very little rain since mid May. A few showers at first tomorrow?
