TS just erupted in south Lyme Bay.
I thought I could here some thunder and there is activity but a bit far away, the sounds may have been something else. Getting closer though. This cam looks east into North Lyme Bay so something may pop up on there.

It really is like a tropical paradise down there! Certainly felt like that when I went there three years ago. Looking at the picture you’d think it was abroad! I know it gets cooler in autumn and winter but the climate is magnificent compared to most of the U.K.
Its the mild winters that makes it pretty safe to grow things like that. I'm not sure what the August average is for Torquay but July is 21C and January is 9C. Although I have seen ice here right by the seafront where I live its still pretty rare.
They have a lovely sub tropical garden in the Scilly Isles where the August average is 19C and January 10C! A nine degree difference, not much land to generate cold or heat, permanently mild there.

A few stations here in Torquay reporting 29C with most around 25C-27C+ around the bay. Its not inconcievable that some places in Torquay reached 29C today as the whole place is hills and valleys.
A bit too hot for me though, the ENE breeze was welcome but the air was too warm.

25C here on the coast moving up to 27C-28C a mile or two inland, and some 27C-30C+ as you head into inland Devon. Its been sunny all day here with some high cloud earlier that has gone now.
Wind is light ENE.
Totnes looks to be 30c+ as I can only see two stations there and one is at 30C and the other at 32C. There's also a 31C just north of Newton Abbot.

Sunny morning with some high cloud. Currently 23C, the low was 17C.
-
Unlike yesterday it was sunny all day here in Torquay. A few PWS near me reported over 30C with one, the closest to me reporting 31.9C but I've no idea wether that's accurate. Currently 23-24C as the sun goes down. What a day for the south coast!

Its been sunny here in Torquay all day and a few stations are reporting 30C. Even in Brixham its around 30C. Very unusual for south west coastal resorts.

I'm hardly surprised on the fog, as the RH is now 81% here rising rapidly once the front reached us...
I can see the Meadfoot and Ilsham hills in Torquay from the Broadsands cam and it looks like its foggy over there aswell. Its a bit too late now anyway to expect any sun today.
-
Temperatures here in the range of 18C-22C depending on where you are. But I wouldn't want to be just down the coast in Salcombe right now where thick fog has set in!

And now it's clearing the tip of Cornwall.
I'm hopeful for some Sunshine later this evening. Basically the exact opposite of the current METO forecast for Salisbury.
It's currently cloudy as.
You can see the clear blue down on Porthmeor beach on its way.

Still dry here but temps are falling. Earlier today there were a few 25C-27C now most stations reporting 23C right across the bay.

Is much hitting the ground, I wonder?
A bit went over Torquay but nothing down here on the ground.

Enjoy the sun everyone its already very cloudy here on the eastern side of Lyme Bay, with temps widely 23C-27C. Looks like heavy cloud is now into Cornwall on the St Ives cam although plenty of people on the beach. First pic St Ives, second pic Torquay which looks darker on the cam than it actually is, its still pretty bright here.

Currently 22C-24C. There are two stations near me reporting 18C/19C but those are wrong and often give out weird information. Paignton is hottest right now with 4 stations across Paignton seafront over to Goodrington and Broadsands reporting 24C and one is at 25C. The other side of the bay in Brixham its 23C-24C. And so early in the morning so its a pretty special day here today.
The cloud is into Cornwall already it can be seen clearly on the St Ives webcam here: https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/united-kingdom/england/st-ives/porthmeor-beach.html
Although its still sunny there is thicker cloud on its way. Also looks like a thick fog bank quite a way of Porthmeor beach.

Temperatures currently 13C-17C. I've just got back from a very early walk and it felt a little chilly to be honest. Cloud already in to Ireland I can see on the radar. Maybe we can get a good morning or early afternoon out of this but great the further east people are today.
-
Fantastic morning temps currently 17C-19C across the bay. Overnight lows 12C-14C. Yesterday was a great day too but it had the worst plane haze I've seen for a long time. Lots of it out at sea and even worse inland. Fortunately the bay stayed between the two until late afternoon when the inland haze moved in. It was still warm though however it was very windy in exposed parts.
First picture Torquay inner harbour right now. Second picture yesterdays plane haze.

Currently clear blue sky and temps 16C - 18C across the bay. Yesterday reached 22C - 24C+ depending on the exact location. Its very hilly here and location makes a big difference, it is great walking along a hillside and seeing the shimmer of heat rising up. There was quite a lot of cloud around inland yesterday and at times hardly any. Non of which troubled the bay as it melted away as it got close to the water. Thats what happens most of the time but occasionally its the opposite where we have cloud the doesn't melt until it gets a few miles out to sea. Last year on a trip to Dartmouth it was cloudy all day but just out at sea clear blue sky all day. Very frustrating.
Some pictures from yesterday. I noticed that people even have to wear face masks when set on the outside top deck of a ferry.

Full sun and 15C with a low of 13. Plenty of cloud on the radar and you can see its switched SW. I really hope I can get another sunny day today as there's more cloud around tomorrow although meto says dry.
-
When I saw the radar this morning I feared it would be another stinker but by 12:30 the cloud was well broken with plenty of hot sunshine. I was surprised because of the earlier cloud, its also been a very humid day. I took a walk through town then up into the hills above the marina to Meadfoot Beach. Was there for an hour and then walked along the hillside back to the inner harbour. By then it was mostly clear blue skies.
What a surprise today was!
I checked 3 weather stations near me and all of them reached over 25C today.

We've had a lovely few days here in Torquay with yesterday being the sunniest and quite warm. Yesterday was probably the best day we've had for a while. The sun is out this morning again but there's a lot of cloud coming into Devon and Cornwall from the NW. I can see on the radar that Dartmoor is splitting it which is usually great for Torquay so I'm not too sure what's going to happen today but we may end up with plenty of sunshine?
The great Spring that we've had has helped the Musa Basjoo Japanese banana a lot, and I'm not too sure how early they come into fruit but I took some pics of one I saw yesterday that definately had fruit already. The flowers are incredibly exotic.
