The Porthleven storm


You may have noticed it has been raining recently. The weather-buffs will have been fascinated by such things as mm of rain, hours of sunlight - sun: a big yellow thing that appears from time to time -, wind strength - it is not often that we actually have a forecast of 'Storm' on land - and the pressure. Thankfully, John Draper has a barograph and here is the print out for the week of 2 - 9 February. The big dip when the Porthleven storm passed through is obvious.

After some sterling work by the local community, the inner harbour was cleared of boats and debris.
