Stormy Weather II

Ah yes, but that's where real people live, not the wild, wild North West - all very strange people up three....phew! Never know WHAT's going on up there!!!

I think we are blessed in Cornwall with the only BBC local radio station with its own dedicated weather team.

Well, you would not want to rely on reports from Exeter, would you?

Where do you think Exeter get them from?

Temperatures in the mid twenties and the high pollen(and dust) count put paid to being in the garden after lunch - I managed about 40 mins. No matter, there are seedlings to be pricked out and more seeds to sow both of which can be done indoors.

I'm leaving my exercise walk until this evening. Might try and catch the sunset across a nearby landfill site 'restored' as a wildflower meadowland park.

Can't rely much on any Cornwall weather report either Bryn - the 'advantage' of being stuck between two coasts!

S-A: can you brief us at all on the challenges of weather forecasting in such conditions?

We're stuck between 2 rivers - but that's OK because the rain often follows them and leaves us dry.

25 in the back garden today, and overnight temperatures likely to be much the same as daytime temperatures over much of the past couple of weeks, changing to frost risk beginning of the week - strange weather. There's quite a bit of rain cloud shown on the map at present but the direction of travel suggests there won't be anything of use here, so I don't expect to wake up to a new-washed world.

You could well be in for at least one downpour tomorrow, prior to the cold weather moving down.

Met Office reckons thunderstorms this afternoon, but they will obviously be hit and miss. Beeb thinks more thundery activity but less chance of rain. We shall see, but I'll still have to do the watering round of plants in containers.

Another good day to look out if the window, I think!

There's also dust on its way here!

Brexit, Coronaviris, dust storms. What next? Locusts?

Bit cooler today - still idyllic. No sign of thunder or rain... yet.
