Well, we got a momentary glimpse of summer in June – hopefully you made the most of those glorious few days of hot sunny weather because, now we are back to cooler cloudier conditions. At least June was reasonably calm.

So, here’s Penny from the Kernow Weather Team (KWT) with the monthly weather summary and more importantly – news of the new website KWT are working on to cater for surfers, divers, sailors, and fishermen.

Coming soon – new hub for ocean data and insights

Still work in progress – oceanic-wave.com – to keep you up to date in real time on the local wave conditions, surf, swell, wind patterns and water patterns. Dave and Hannah from KWT have been working hard to get the site up and running.

They will also focus on marine life and conservation, offering detailed data on marine species, habitats and migration patterns. So, there’s still lots to do but it’s already well worth a look.

June weather update from KWT

Well, June started with below average temperatures. Even night-time temperatures fell down to single figures, which is unseasonably cool. We’ve seen a mostly consistent north/north westerly airflow from a blocked pattern that hasn’t helped matters, courtesy of a low to the northwest and high pressure to the south.

We’ve seen plenty of cloud and when finally, during the second half of June, our few hot days brought temperatures as high as 28°C. Although cloud cover certainly took its time to shift in places, with sea mist or fog spoiling the beaches. Weather fronts have brought the usual rain with sunshine only being limited to a few days at a time if that. 

I personally wouldn’t like to say about July yet, although long range does support some hotter conditions. But we all know how easily that can change.

Noctilucent clouds

And while Dave wasn’t working on the new website he was out with his camera and spotted these beautiful noctilucent clouds.

These extremely rare, very high clouds can be seen in the night sky, usually on clear summer evenings. They become visible about the same time as the brightest stars and are usually bluish or silvery.
