Considering i's breezy along the south coast, it's surprising how warm some exposed parts of the south coast are.
At 13:00 it was 22C at Portland, 23C at St Catherine's Point, the warmest spots in the UK, together with a few others, according to XcWeather). Now 23C in Penzance (13:25).
Hazy & cloudless. My pic from Vallendreath, Sennen @ 11:00. The beach would have been packed on a day like today 3 weeks ago.
The tide's exceprionally low so not even local swimmers/surfers until the tide starts coming in. Cornwall at it's best. In my opinion (biased) possibly the best beach in the world.
Webcam 13:30, tide now starting to return, people starting to arrive

Just checked XCWeather again, and still many of the warmest places seem to be on/near the coast.
At 18:00
23C Camborne (not a renouned warm spot!)
23C Plymouth
Portland & St Catherine's Point 22C
It was around 22C in Penzance at 18:00
The SST around the south & SW coast is generally near 17C.
It's a lovely warm evening.
St Michael's Mount 18:40, high water spring tide.
