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.

A few fires a day across Cornwall recently due to the dry conditions.

They've been easy to control so far, largely due to the lack of wind. It's getting blustery now though, but also it should rain soon. There was very little wind when I was at Lands End this morning, it's now gusting 30mph in exposed spots.

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.

There did n't seem many people around for August bank holiday Monday at Lands End.
I bet it looks greener today 28th August after the passage of that front.

I've just realised the significance of your comments! Just 1 of the benefits of owning a Tardis. At least you now know that August is set to be hot & dry.
