Camborne, on a bit on a limb.

[Graham Easterling]

As the 1st half of November was exceptionally dry, most places in Cornwall have seen normal or below normal November rainfall, Camborne is alone in being distinctly wet.

Up until yesterday

Lands End  85mm (often seems a bit low, very exposed site with horzontal rain)

Plymouth 104mm (88% - nearly Cornwall)

Culdrose  107mm

Penzance 113mm (only 76% of normal - though it is raining now.)

Cardinham 131mm (below normal, up on Bodmin Moor, notably wet spot)

Camborne 171mm (131% of normal)

Camborne, is on average, drier than Penzance. South coast bays in Cornwall are rather wet relative to coasts exposed to the west.  The hills aren't enough to generate a rain shadow, they just pep up the rainfall. Rainfall on Scilly (also not Cornwall) & near Land's End (Sennen!) and Lizard are lowest for the coast.
