Kernow Weather Team

Good afternoon everyone, Well… stepping outside today feels a bit like opening the oven door to check on the roast potatoes. One thing many people forget during weather like this is that the temperatures you see on your weather app are officially measured in the SHADE, inside a special weather screen with good airflow around it. That means when you see 27°C or 28°C forecast for Cornwall, that is not what it can feel like standing in direct sunshine. In direct sunlight, especially with light winds, dark clothing, walls, patios, cars, beaches and tarmac soaking up the heat, it can easily feel several degrees hotter. So while the “official” air temperature may be sitting around the high 20s, it can feel well into the low 30s in sheltered sunny spots. Basically… Cornwall has temporarily upgraded itself to “Mediterranean with pasties.” Cars become ovens very quickly in this kind of setup too. Even with outside temperatures in the mid to high 20s, inside car temperatures can rocket above 40°C surprisingly fast. So please don’t leave dogs, cats, children, husbands, wives or even your emergency sausage roll in the car today. The UV levels are also HIGH to VERY HIGH, meaning sunburn can happen much quicker than many realise, especially with that slightly hazy sky from Saharan dust filtering the sunlight. And yes… the dusty cars and windows are back again. If you’ve got a black car, thoughts and prayers. What’s fascinating about today is that we’re now starting to challenge some pretty impressive Cornwall temperature records. Cornwall’s highest May temperature on record stands at 27.7°C and incredibly that’s also tied with Cornwall’s highest June temperature record too, set back in June 2017. That really shows just how unusual this current late-May heat is becoming. For weather geeks like me staring at charts while drinking coffee number five, it’s quite remarkable seeing temperatures this high in SPRING rather than the middle of summer. Sea temperatures around Cornwall are still relatively cool, which is why some coastal spots are seeing mist, sea haze and cooler patches while inland areas are roasting away. So if you’re out today: Stay hydrated, Slap on the sun cream Check pavements before walking dogs, Joggers may want to avoid the hottest part of the afternoon Beer gardens will likely be operating at full capacity, and office workers everywhere will suddenly discover “important outdoor tasks” Meanwhile, somewhere in Cornwall there’s already a barbecue being lit at 11am while one neighbour complains it’s “too hot” and another says “don’t moan, it’ll rain next week.” Proper British weather behaviour. Smudge & Gus weather verdict: Smudge has moved into full “find the coolest tile floor in the house” mode, while Gus briefly considered going outside, felt the heat, and immediately cancelled those plans in favour of another nap. Sensible really. More updates soon. KWT Dave

@DundeeSat Slightly warmer on local weather stations

@KWTWeather NEW CORNWALL RECORD! #post" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz72…

@DundeeSat Thank you

@KWTWeather this means you..

⚠️🥵 AMBER HEAT-HEALTH ALERT IN PLACE FOR CORNWALL 🥵⚠️ Good morning everyone, We don’t normally post too much about Heat Health Alerts because unfortunately they sometimes attract a few “it’s only summer!” type comments… but these alerts are issued for a reason, and with the current heatwave continuing across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, it’s important people understand the risks over the next few days. An AMBER Heat-Health Alert is currently in place from today through the 28th as temperatures continue climbing well above average for late May. Now for many people, this weather feels absolutely lovely: Beaches packed🍦 Ice creams vanishing at an alarming speed Beer gardens full And everyone suddenly becomes “sunset photographers” for a week But prolonged heat can also cause genuine health issues, especially for: ⚠️ Elderly people ⚠️ Young children and babies ⚠️ Those with breathing or heart conditions ⚠️ Vulnerable people living independently ⚠️ Care home residents ⚠️ Anyone working or exercising outdoors One of the biggest concerns during these heatwaves is indoor overheating. Many buildings in the UK are designed to keep heat IN during winter, which means after several hot days and warm nights, houses and flats can start holding onto heat like giant brick ovens. And with some areas recently experiencing “tropical nights” where temperatures stayed above 20°C overnight, many people simply aren’t getting proper cooling or sleep. That can quickly lead to exhaustion, dehydration and heat stress. Basically… your upstairs bedroom may currently have the climate of southern Spain but with less air conditioning and more angry seagulls outside the window. 🌡️ WHY THIS HEAT FEELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE 🌡️ The combination of: Strong sunshine, Temperatures into the high 20s or low 30s, very high pollen, Saharan dust, Moderate to high air pollution, Light winds …can make the air feel very heavy and oppressive, especially during the afternoons and evenings. Even healthy people can start feeling: Tired, Dizzy, Headachy, Dehydrated Short of breath during exercise 🏃‍♂️ IMPORTANT FOR RUNNERS, DOG WALKERS & EXERCISE 🏃‍♀️ If you normally go jogging, cycling or exercising outdoors during the afternoon, it may genuinely be worth changing your routine over the next few days. Early mornings or later evenings will be much safer and more comfortable than trying to run at 2pm in full sunshine while the pavement feels hot enough to fry a Cornish pasty. Please also remember: Dog walks should ideally happen earlier or later in the day Pavements become dangerously hot for paws Carry water if exercising outdoors UV levels remain HIGH to VERY HIGH And honestly… if your fitness watch starts suggesting “perhaps sit down and reconsider your life choices,” maybe listen to it. 🌿 PLEASE CHECK ON OTHERS 🌿 A quick message or visit to elderly relatives, neighbours or vulnerable friends during this weather can genuinely make a huge difference. Sometimes people don’t realise how overheated or dehydrated they’ve become until symptoms become more serious. Simple things help: Drinking water regularly, keeping curtains closed during peak heat 🌬️ Opening windows overnight if cooler, using fans where possible Avoiding direct afternoon sunshine And yes… don’t forget to leave fresh water out for wildlife, birds and pets too.

Slightly warm today!

@DundeeSat Thank you, nice blue skies and sunshine here at the moment and temperatures already touching over 20c hope it's nice in Dundee

⚠️ VERY HIGH POLLEN LEVELS & MODERATE TO HIGH AIR POLLUTION 😷 Good morning everyone, Well… today the atmosphere across Cornwall appears to have chosen violence against hay fever sufferers. If you stepped outside this morning and immediately sneezed three times, rubbed your eyes, and wondered why your throat suddenly feels like you swallowed sandpaper… You are definitely not alone today. Today’s air pollution levels across Cornwall are expected to remain MODERATE overall, but there will likely be some pockets of HIGH pollution developing during the day, especially around busier towns, roads and sheltered inland areas where the warm air becomes trapped. And before somebody rushes into the comments shouting: “IT’S GEOENGINEERING!” or “THEY’RE SPRAYING US AGAIN!” … no. What we’re actually seeing is a combination of very warm temperatures, light winds, high pressure, Saharan dust high up in the atmosphere, pollen, vehicle emissions, dust particles and stagnant air all mixing like Cornwall’s least enjoyable cocktail. Under high-pressure systems, the atmosphere can basically act like a lid on a saucepan. Instead of air rising and dispersing pollution away, everything becomes trapped lower down near the surface. That’s why during warm settled weather we can often see poorer air quality, hazy skies and that “thick” feeling to the air. And then on top of THAT… the pollen levels today are absolutely through the roof. Grass pollen: VERY HIGH, Weed pollen: VERY HIGH, Tree pollen: Still lingering in places too With the recent sunshine, warmth and a little moisture left in the ground from earlier weather systems, plants across Cornwall have basically gone into full summer overdrive mode. Fields, hedgerows and grasses are currently releasing huge amounts of pollen into the atmosphere, and with lighter winds, it tends to hang around rather than disperse quickly. So if your car is covered in yellow dust… congratulations, nature has personally chosen you today. For anyone with asthma, COPD, breathing difficulties, allergies or hay fever, today could be quite uncomfortable at times. Symptoms may include: Sneezing fits, Watery or itchy eyes Dry throat, coughing, Tight chest, Headaches, feeling more tired than usual And yes, some people may also notice the air feeling unusually “heavy” or muggy, especially later this afternoon. A few useful tips today: Stay hydrated, keep windows closed during peak afternoon pollen times if possible, Shower after being outdoors to remove pollen, Sunglasses can help reduce pollen getting into the eye, try to avoid strenuous exercise near busy roads during peak heat The frustrating thing is these levels are expected to stay HIGH for much of this week while the warm settled weather continues. Basically, Cornwall has become one giant airborne allergy simulator for the next few days. More updates soon everyone, especially regarding the thunderstorm risk, heat, UV levels and any changes in air quality through the week ahead. Kind regards, KWT Dave

⚠️☀️ HIGH UV LEVELS ACROSS CORNWALL TODAY ☀️⚠️ Good morning everyone, Well… Cornwall appears to have accidentally drifted somewhere closer to the Mediterranean again overnight. Before we even start talking about today’s weather, some parts of Cornwall actually experienced what’s known as a “tropical night” last night, where temperatures failed to drop below 20°C. That’s something we normally associate more with southern Europe than Penzance, Padstow or Camborne! Many of you probably noticed it too… windows wide open, fans working overtime, and at least one person in every household dramatically announcing: “IT’S TOO HOT TO SLEEP!” at 2am while standing in front of the fridge. Looking ahead to today, it’s another very warm to locally hot day across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We’re expecting plenty more hazy blue skies and long spells of sunshine, although there will be some fair-weather cloud bubbling up at times through the afternoon. The haze is likely being helped once again by some Saharan dust high up in the atmosphere, which can give the sky that milky white-blue look and produce some incredible sunrise and sunset colours later on. But yes… There is a small “weather plot twist” developing later today. After around 5 pm this evening, we’ll be watching the skies carefully as clouds begin to move northwards from France and the English Channel. This could bring the risk of a few heavy showers, some distant rumbles of thunder, and perhaps even a few patches of mist or low cloud drifting into coastal areas for a time tonight. Now before anyone starts posting “THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING!” in the comments… most places will likely stay dry, but the atmosphere is becoming increasingly unstable thanks to the heat building over the UK and northern France. Warm air rising rapidly can sometimes help thunderstorms develop, especially if little disturbances move north across the Channel. Cornwall is right on the edge of this battleground today, so we’ll be keeping a very close eye on the latest satellite imagery and radar throughout the evening. And yes… Wednesday does slowly start to hint at a slight pattern change, with temperatures easing back a little later in the week. So if you’ve been waiting all year for proper sunshine, today is definitely one to enjoy. ⚠️ UV LEVELS ⚠️ UV levels are HIGH once again today, and honestly the sun at this time of year can catch people out very quickly. Even with haze or a bit of cloud around, UV can still burn in under 20 minutes during peak afternoon sunshine. So please: Slap on the sun cream, stay hydrated, wear sunglasses, and remember pavements can become extremely hot for pedestrians Winds today will generally stay light, although directions will be all over the place depending on location ranging from southeasterly to northwesterly breezes. Basically t, he atmosphere can’t quite decide what it wants to do with itself today. 🌡️ TEMPERATURES TODAY: Morning to lunchtime: 19°C to 27°C Afternoon highs: 25°C to 30°C+ possible Feels like temperatures in direct sunshine: closer to 35°C to 38°C in sheltered spots Evening temperatures: still a very warm 22°C to 27°C More updates soon regarding pollen levels, air pollution, Saharan dust and any thunderstorm risks later this evening. Stay safe in the sunshine everyone… and maybe avoid trying to fry an egg on your car bonnet just because Dave on Facebook said it was hot. Kind regards, KWT Dave 🐾 Smudge & Gus Weather Verdict 🐾 Smudge has officially relocated to the coolest tile floor in the house and is refusing all unnecessary movement until September. Meanwhile G,us attempted to chase a sunbeam this morning, gave up halfway through due to the heat, and is now stretched out like a melted ginger sausage near the fan. Both cats give today: ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ “Five paws out of five for sunshine… but absolutely unacceptable sleeping temperatures overnight.”

Good afternoon everyone, Well… It’s definitely turned into a proper oven out there today across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly! Some places this afternoon have climbed into the high 20s and low 30s, with temperatures ranging anywhere from around 20°C along a few cooler coastal spots right up to a sizzling 32°C inland. Not bad for a Bank Holiday weekend in Cornwall really somewhere between “lovely beach weather” and “why does my steering wheel now feel like lava?” The combination of strong sunshine, light winds and very dry air is making it feel exceptionally hot in direct sunlight too, and honestly, if you stand in a sheltered spot for more than five minutes you start feeling like a forgotten sausage roll under a petrol station heat lamp. UV levels are still HIGH this afternoon, so please remember the golden rules: Slap on the sun cream, stay hydrated, wear sunglasses and hats, and don’t forget hot pavements can seriously burn your dog’s paws too! Even though we’ve got that lovely hazy blue sky look today, some of that haze is actually Saharan dust high up in the atmosphere drifting over from North Africa. It’s harmless for most people, but it can help create those milky skies and spectacular fiery sunsets we’ve been seeing recently. The downside? Your freshly washed car may soon resemble it’s just completed the Dakar Rally. What’s making this weather particularly impressive is the fact that this Bank Holiday Monday is now looking likely to become one of the hottest if not the hottest Bank Holiday Mondays on record in parts of the UK. Considering we’re still in spring, these temperatures are pretty exceptional and more like something you’d expect in July or August. Pollen levels are also very high now, so if you’ve stepped outside and instantly sneezed 14 times before finishing your coffee… yes, the atmosphere is currently trying to fight you. Tree pollen, grass pollen and the dry conditions are all combining into one giant invisible sneeze cloud over the county. And yes… before anyone asks… Cornwall is still Cornwall, so while we roast under sunshine today, there is actually a growing thunderstorm risk over the next few days as very warm humid air starts interacting with cooler Atlantic air. The atmosphere is basically loading the weather drama settings to maximum. Enjoy the sunshine safely everyone, and please check in on elderly neighbours, pets and anyone struggling in the heat.

⚠️🔥 HIGH WILDFIRE RISK ACROSS CORNWALL 🔥⚠️ Good morning everyone, The sun is shining, the skies are that hazy blue colour again thanks to Saharan dust high up in the atmosphere, and many people will understandably be heading out today to enjoy the beaches, moorland walks, coast paths, beer gardens and countryside. But while the weather may look absolutely beautiful outside today, there is something important we all need to keep in mind… ⚠️ The wildfire risk across Cornwall is currently MODERATE TO HIGH ⚠️ And sadly, this sort of weather is exactly the kind of setup that can allow fires to start and spread surprisingly quickly. Over the last few weeks, many areas of grass, gorse, heathland and undergrowth have been drying out steadily, and now with temperatures climbing well into the mid to high 20s, low humidity levels, strong sunshine, dry vegetation and occasional breezy conditions, it only takes one small spark to potentially cause a major fire. People often think wildfire risk is only something countries like Spain, Portugal or Greece deal with… but Cornwall can and does see grass fires and heath fires during hot dry spells too. In fact, gorse bushes are incredibly flammable. Once they ignite they can burn fast, hot and unpredictably, especially on hillsides or cliffs where winds can suddenly fan the flames. And yes… before anyone asks… tossing a cigarette end out of the car window because “it’ll be fine” is about as sensible as storing fireworks in an air fryer. Things to PLEASE avoid today: Disposable BBQs on grassland or cliffs, Campfires or fire pits, Throwing cigarette ends anywhere outdoors Parking cars on very dry grass Leaving glass bottles behind in nature Using machinery that could create sparks near dry vegetation Even something as simple as a hot exhaust pipe underneath a parked car can ignite very dry grass in this sort of weather. The combination of heat, dry ground and occasional breeze means any fire that starts today could spread faster than people realise. And unfortunately, Cornwall’s narrow lanes, rural terrain and remote moorland areas can make firefighting incredibly difficult once a blaze gets going. Please also remember: If you spot smoke or a fire starting anywhere, report it immediately by calling 999 and asking for the Fire Service. Weather-wise today itself is looking absolutely stunning with plenty of sunshine, hazy skies and temperatures widely climbing into the mid to high 20s, with a few places possibly nudging close to 30°C again this afternoon. UV levels remain HIGH too, so between the wildfire risk, sunburn risk, pollen and Saharan dust, the atmosphere today is basically operating on “extreme summer mode.” Please enjoy the sunshine responsibly everyone and help protect Cornwall’s countryside, wildlife and emergency services during this hot spell. Kind regards KWT Dave @BodminCFRS @TolvaddonCFRS @BodminCFRS @FalmouthCFRS @BudeCFRS #CFRS

⚠️ Severe flooding emergency unfolding in Bulgaria ⚠️ Sweeping floods are affecting parts of central and northern Bulgaria after torrential rainfall triggered a rapid and dangerous rise in rivers across the region. Several areas have now declared states of emergency as the relentless downpours overwhelmed drainage systems and sent fast-moving floodwater tearing through towns and villages. Homes and businesses have been inundated, roads turned into rivers and major infrastructure including bridges has suffered significant damage. Dramatic scenes are emerging from the affected areas, with cars being swept away by powerful torrents and floodwater surging through streets with incredible force. Emergency crews are working around the clock as conditions remain extremely dangerous in places. This kind of flooding shows just how quickly the weather can turn severe when intense rainfall falls over already saturated ground. Once rivers and drainage systems can no longer cope, water rapidly spreads across low-lying areas causing widespread destruction in a very short amount of time. Flooding remains one of the deadliest weather hazards worldwide because of the sheer force of moving water. Just a relatively shallow depth of fast-flowing floodwater can easily move vehicles and pose a major danger to life.

Nice thunderstorm risk next week, worth watching!

🐶 HOT WEATHER WARNING FOR DOG OWNERS ☀️ As temperatures continue to climb across Cornwall, it’s not just us humans feeling the heat… our four-legged weather assistants are struggling too. And while many of us are enjoying the sunshine, pavements, tarmac, roads, artificial grass and even beach sand can become dangerously hot for dogs very quickly. People are often shocked at just how hot surfaces can get. Even when the air temperature is around 25°C, dark tarmac exposed to direct sunshine can easily climb above 50°C. That’s hot enough to burn paws, cause blisters and leave dogs in a lot of pain. And remember… dogs don’t wear shoes. Unless yours has somehow become a surfing influencer from Newquay wearing tiny sunglasses and flip-flops. One of the easiest ways to test if the ground is too hot is the simple “7-second rule”: Place the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds. If it’s too painful or uncomfortable for your hand, then it’s definitely too hot for your dog’s paws. Dogs can’t tell us when the ground is hurting them until the damage is already done. Some signs of burnt paws can include: Limping, Licking their feet excessively, Darkened or red paw pads, Blisters, Refusing to walk The hottest part of the day is usually between 11am and 4pm, especially during sunny weather with light winds and high UV levels. Early morning walks or later evening walks are much safer and more comfortable for dogs. A few tips to help keep your dog safe in the heat: Always bring water, stick to shaded routes where possible, walk on grass instead of pavements Never leave dogs in parked cars, even for “just two minutes” Be careful on beaches too because sand can become roasting hot And please remember, dogs cool themselves mainly through panting, which means hot and humid weather can affect them much faster than many people realise. Flat-faced breeds, older dogs and overweight dogs are especially vulnerable during hot weather. Looking at the latest weather charts, Cornwall is going to continue seeing warm sunshine and high UV levels over the coming days, so this is something worth thinking about all week. And finally… If the pavement feels like it could fry a full English breakfast… maybe save the dog walk for later. Stay safe everyone and give your dogs an extra fuss from us here at KWT.

Good morning everyone, Well… Cornwall has officially remembered what summer is again! Temperatures are already climbing towards 25°C in places this morning and it’s only going to get warmer as we head through the afternoon. Add in those light winds, plenty of sunshine and that classic “holiday postcard” look to the sky, and yes… Cornwall is starting to feel more like the south of Spain than the south west of England today. But while the sunshine looks lovely, the UV levels are also climbing rapidly and are expected to be HIGH across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly today. That means sunburn can happen surprisingly quickly, even if there’s the odd bit of cloud floating around pretending to help. The sun at this time of year is far stronger than many people realise because the days are now much longer and the sun's angle is getting higher in the sky. So if you’re heading out to the beaches, beer gardens, coastal walks or planning to spend the day arguing with a barbecue that refuses to light properly… please remember: Sun cream, Sunglasses, Plenty of water, Hats for the little ones, and keep an eye on pets too, because pavements and sand can get very warm in direct sunshine. The sea breeze may help some coastal spots feel a little fresher at times, but inland areas could feel properly warm this afternoon. And yes… there’s already a strong possibility of Cornwall’s annual “everyone suddenly remembering they own shorts” event taking place. Some people will still somehow be wearing hoodies though. It’s tradition. Looking at the latest weather charts this morning, high pressure is continuing to dominate our weather, helping to keep conditions settled, dry and very pleasant for many areas. There’s also a touch of Saharan dust higher up in the atmosphere, which may help produce some very colourful sunrise and sunset colours over the next few days too. Lovely for the sky… less lovely for freshly cleaned cars. Pollen levels are also slowly starting to creep upwards again, especially with the warmer and drier conditions now developing, so hay fever sufferers may start noticing things becoming a little more “sniffly” over the coming days too. Enjoy the sunshine everyone, but please respect the heat and UV levels today because the Cornish sun can be sneakier than people think. One minute you’re “just sitting outside for 10 minutes” and the next minute you resemble a cooked lobster from Newlyn Harbour.
