A grand total of 0.2mm on Thursday, 0.4mm Friday.

Can't see much coming from the now fragmented rain band to the north, so the drought continues.

At least today should be the coolest day.

We had some substantial heavy rain here today, for the first time in weeks.

3.5mm overnight, so total for June now 4.1mm, brings the 30 day running total up to 6.8mm

No more rain currently in the forecast for Penzance for the next week, not even for Thursday, it's all happening well to the east. With the brisk east wind we had at times, it is far too dry for the potato crop.

Setups all wrong for surf though, set to be rubbish for the for the foreseeable future, after some superb conditions late May.

Christ, is it boring having a broken leg.

25.8 mm in the past 72 hours in Tideswell. Everything looking very lush
and green. We've got a massive strawberry crop, just starting to turn
red.

What did you do to your leg, Graham.

3 weeks ago, the day after I got the wetsuits & bodyboard out ready for the hot spell on near deserted beaches, I missed the bottom step of the stairs, landed on my ankle, tore the ligaments & fractured my fibula. Yes it hurt..

Trouble is I won't be able to drive for another 3 weeks or so, Barbara can't drive & getting a taxi is not advisable under current conditions, so I'm rather trapped at home.

Forget what the press say about busy beaches in the recent hot spell, it's absolutely devoid of tourists down here, apart from the few surfers vans. The St Ives webcams are a real eye opener. Normally on cloudy, cool day in JJne, you'd have to force your way through crowds in St. Ives, not a spare inch.

Completely catastrophic the west Cornwall economy.

I don't see how things can open up, and get anything remotely like social distancing in the typical Cornish narrow lane resort. It normally takes half an hour to get to the front of the queue to the bar even somewhere like Sennen in July.

You have my sympathies. I wouldn't like to be stuck indoors at the
moment. Really enjoying our afternoon walks in near solitude.

The holiday-related economy is suffering here, too. The National Park
Authority is actively discouraging visitors. All public toilets are
closed as well as cafes, pubs and most visitor 'attractions'. I fear
that many small businesses won't survive.
