Cornwall - Reservoir levels getting critical

[Graham Easterling]

Another sunny, breezy warm day. Just topped 23C in Penzance where the wind is offshore. Maximum of 22.7C yesterday.

Reservoir levels significantly lower than across the Tamar in Devon.

Devon's largest reservoir

Meanwhile, the 2 largest reservoirs in Cornwall.

Drift, which serves Penzance, is starting to resemble a puddle. 

It's more than a bit annoying that whilst Cornish residents cannot use a hosepipe, fill a paddling pool or hottub etc. The same rules do not apply to holiday homes, who also get a rates discount. That's what comes of being ruled by the English! It's good to know the dunes in front of the millionaires row in Rock will stay green.

It was lovely for a swim this morning, rather less breeze than forecast.

Plenty of rain in the forecast, we'll have to wait & see just how much materialises.

Just to stay vaguely on topic, a mainly sunny day, increasing amounts of thin high cloud, with some medium level cloud now. The prom 19:40
