.🌊Good evening everyone, here are your tide times for Wednesday🌊 What about hypothermia? There is a lot of talk of people dying from hypothermia after falling into cold water. Still, the truth is that unless they have a way of surviving past the point of swim failure (like wearing a lifejacket), you will drown before you become hypothermic. Even in very cold water, it takes at least 30 minutes for you to become hypothermic. Crucially, hypothermia remains a risk even after you exit the water, unless you exit the cold and warm up efficiently and promptly. This is the main worry in cold weather, or with a cold wind. When you get out of the water,p make sure you have warm clothes, a warm hat and something windroof, and have a flask of a hot drink to warm up with.

Good evening from the Isles of Scilly. Here’s the forecast for the Islands on Tuesday Wind easing slowly It may not feel like it, but spring is happening with all the pink Geranium Maderense starting to bloom all round the Islands. They're a bit of a weed here really, but a very classy one! Tuesday was windy, but Wednesday will be windier and colder. The worst of the winds will go through overnight and during the early hours with a cold NW wind between 35-45mph and gusting up to 45-55mph. There will be showers with it too but these should be gone by dawn, leaving just the chance of an odd one during Wednesday. There should be more sun too, with UV forecast at 4. It will be cold though. Temperatures will drop like a brick overnight into Wednesday, possibly down as low as 4-6ºC as the skies clear into the morning. Daytime temperatures aren't likely to be more than 7-9ºC, and strong wind will pack a chill to make it feel 3-4ºC colder than the actual temperature. During Thursday and the rest of the week of the week, the temperatures should slowly recover and the wind settle down to light at times but mainly moderate. The only rain looks like a few showers from time to time, but there's no heatwave or wall to wall sun likely. Sunrise on Wednesday is at 06.16 and sunset at 18.45.

@DundeeSat @Petagna @Mark__Bowe @SqRaindrop @HIOWweather @BlackCountryWX We're back to hide and seek from the sunshine!

METOP-C, 1138 UTC Overpass: Subset of scene. @Petagna @Mark__Bowe @SqRaindrop @HIOWweather @BlackCountryWX @KWTWeather (how's the move going kids??)

Good morning everyone, There’s been quite a bit of chatter in the weather world lately about the potential return of El Niño, and I thought it was a good time to break it all down in true KWT style… what it is, why it matters, and most importantly… what it could mean for us here in Cornwall (and no, it doesn’t mean we suddenly turn tropical… although I’m sure some of you wouldn’t mind that for about five minutes!). So first things first, what is El Niño? El Niño is a natural climate pattern that happens out in the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles away from us. It occurs when sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific become warmer than normal. Now that might sound like “not our problem”… but in the atmosphere, everything is connected. Think of it like dropping a stone in a pond the ripples travel far beyond where the splash happened. When El Niño kicks in, it can shift global weather patterns, including the jet stream, storm tracks, and pressure systems. That’s where things get interesting for us. Now, one of the biggest talking points right now is that El Niño years often bring a more active Atlantic hurricane season. Warmer ocean waters act like fuel for tropical storms, helping them develop more easily and sometimes become stronger. That’s why you’ll hear phrases like “could be a big hurricane season” being thrown around. But here’s the important bit… Cornwall is not suddenly in the firing line for hurricanes like the Caribbean or the US. What can happen though, and we’ve seen it before, is that the remnants of these hurricanes (what we call ex-tropical storms) can travel across the Atlantic and reach the UK. By the time they get here, they’re no longer true hurricanes, but they can still pack a punch… bringing spells of heavy rain, strong winds, and some lively seas. So what could El Niño mean specifically for Cornwall? It could increase the chances of seeing more of these ex-tropical systems tracking towards us later in the summer and into autumn. That means a slightly higher risk of unsettled spells, especially during what would normally be a calmer period. It can also influence the position of the jet stream, which plays a huge role in whether we sit under high pressure (nice and settled) or get battered by Atlantic systems. For surfers… yes, I know you’re all reading this bit carefully… a more active Atlantic can mean some decent swell opportunities, but also more chaotic sea conditions at times, so it’s a bit of a double-edged sword. Now before anyone panics and starts battening down the hatches in March… It’s really important to say this is all about probabilities, not guarantees. El Niño doesn’t flip a switch and say “right Cornwall, you’re getting storms now.” It simply tilts the odds slightly in favour of certain patterns. Weather is a complex beast, and there are many other factors at play, including sea surface temperatures closer to home, pressure patterns over Europe, and how the jet stream behaves week to week. So what can you actually do with this information? Honestly… It’s more about awareness than action right now. As we move through the year, especially into late summer and autumn, it’s worth keeping an eye on forecasts and updates (you know where to find us ). If we do see any ex-hurricanes heading our way, we’ll be all over it with clear, calm, and localised information. For now, there’s no need to cancel your BBQs or start building an ark (although given this winter… some of you may already have one half built!).

Tuesday Weather Outlook for Cornwall & Weather Information Happy World Meteorological Day! (yes… a whole day dedicated to the thing we all talk about more than anything else in Cornwall!) It’s been a pretty decent run lately hasn’t it? A proper little tease of spring with some warmth, sunshine, and the odd “ooh I might not need a coat today” moment… but as always in true Cornish style, the atmosphere has other plans. And oh yes… It’s about to flip the switch. The weather models are now in strong agreement that this settled spell is packing its bags and heading off, replaced by something a lot more lively, colder, and frankly a bit grumpy. We’re going from spring to “hang on… is this March or January again?” in the space of about 48 hours. From midweek, a cold northerly airflow digs in, dragging temperatures right down. Some places across Cornwall may struggle to get above 5°C, and when you throw in those biting winds, it could feel closer to -4°C. That’s the kind of cold that makes you question every life decision… including leaving the house. Now let’s talk Tuesday… The morning starts under a blanket of cloud for many, with that familiar Cornish combo of mist, murk, and the occasional bit of patchy light rain just to keep things interesting. Low cloud will be hanging around, especially over the hills and moors, giving everything that slightly damp, “is it raining or just… existing?” feel. Winds will already be making themselves known, coming in from the southwest with a bit of attitude. Gusts could reach 45mph in places, so it’s definitely a “hold onto your hat and your recycling bins” kind of morning. Temperatures will sit between 8°C and 13°C, so not freezing, but that damp air will make it feel chillier than it looks on paper. As we head into the afternoon… well… not a huge change really. Still fairly grey, still a bit gloomy, with the odd brighter spell trying its best to break through like a shy guest at a party. There’s still the risk of patchy rain drifting about, and that damp feel will stick around. Winds remain blustery, occasionally gusty, and temperatures are ticking along around 9°C to 13°C. Now here’s where things get a bit more interesting… KWT are issuing a weather advisory for strong winds from Tuesday evening through to around Wednesday lunchtime. A cold front sweeps in from the northwest during teatime, bringing a band of moderate to heavy rain that will push southeastwards through the evening, clearing later in the night. Behind it… the atmosphere really starts flexing. Winds swing around from westerly to northwesterly and begin to ramp up, with gusts of 50–55mph possible, and even a touch higher in exposed spots. Yes… This is prime “wheelie bin Olympics” territory again. Into Wednesday and you’ll definitely notice the difference. Temperatures drop off sharply, only reaching around 4°C to 10°C at best, and with those brisk northwesterly winds, it’s going to feel properly cold again. It’ll be a day of sunshine and showers, but not your friendly spring ones… these will be sharp, punchy, and in some cases wintry. We’re talking sleet over higher ground, bursts of hail, and even graupel popping up just about anywhere. That’s the bouncy stuff that looks like hail but acts like it’s had one too many coffees. Thursday brings a brief breather, with a mix of cloud, sunny spells, and a few scattered showers… a bit of a reset day if you like. But don’t get too comfortable, because Friday looks like a proper washout with rain becoming more persistent again. And just to top it all off, pollen levels remain moderate… so if you’ve been sneezing your way through the last few days, you’re not alone. The trees are very much awake now and clearly have no respect for our sinuses. Smudge & Gus Weather Verdict 🐾l “Well… we were complaining about being stuck indoors last week… but after hearing about wind, rain, hail, sleet, and something called ‘graupel’… we’ve reviewed the situation.”

.🌊Good evening everyone, here are your tide times for Tuesday🌊 The sea temperatures are starting to warm up now, but are still cold enough to cause cold water shock and anyone can be affected. You should be aware it's a possibility, so do note this series of info posts about it this week. So what are the effects of Cold Water Shock? There are three stages that your body goes through during cold water shock, starting with one that you will be familiar with: a mild version of the sensation of getting into the swimming pool, characterised by a gasp for breath, then followed by rapid breathing (hyperventilation). At the same time as your breathing goes out of control, your blood pressure shoots up as your body tries to keep your blood warm by moving it towards the middle of your body (this is why you go pale when you’re cold). Once your breathing is back under control, this is your window to get out of the water before the further effects of cold water shock kick in. As your muscles cool, your strength, endurance and muscle control reduce to the point when you can’t swim any longer, so you can’t rescue yourself. The point at which you can’t swim any more is called ‘swim failure’, and if you haven’t got out of the water or managed to get hold of a buoyancy aid (like a lifejacket) by this time, you will drown.

Good evening from the Isles of Scilly. Here’s the forecast for the Islands on Tuesday Windy Summer's coming, the puffins are here again! Thanks to Isaac for the superb photo of one of them having fun on a calm sea. Sadly they'll be in for a bit of a shock on Tuesday with less than hospitable weather. The main difference in Tuesday's weather is the wind. Starting the day at 15-25mph from the SW first thing, it'll slowly veer to the W by the evening and freshen up throughout the day to reach 25-35mph then. At the same time, it'll be gusty throughout the day with the gusts potentially up to 50-60mph later on. There have been advisories issued for the Scillonian, with the return from St. Marys brought forward to 2pm (check in between 12.45 and 1.30pm). It should be dry for most of the day, with a few showers possible by the evening. and there may be a little sun between the predominant clouds. UV is forecast at only 2. Temperatures will remain at 10-12ºC during the day. Overnight temperatures into Tuesday will still be 8-10ºC, but once the cold weather front goes through late on Tuesday they will drop like a brick overnight into Wednesday. And Wednesday looks like being a cold and windy day, with Arctic air back once more, although it should be mainly dry. During the rest of the week of the week temperatures should slowly recover, with better weather back for the weekend, warmer again with some sunshine and only a chance of an odd shower. Sunrise on Tuesday is at 06.18 and sunset at 18.44.

📷Good evening everyone, here are your tide times for Monday📷 The sea temperatures are starting to warm up now, but are still cold enough to cause cold water shock and anyone can be affected. You should be aware it's a possibility, so do note this series of info posts about it, starting today and to follow on through the week ahead. What is it? Cold Water Shock – the Facts The term ‘cold water shock’ refers to a range of natural reactions that our bodies take to protect us when we enter cold water (although these reactions can sometimes work against us). With cold water being anything from approximately the temperature of a swimming pool and below, we are not just talking about icy cold water. Info courtesy of the Royal National Lifesaving Society.

Good evening from the Isles of Scilly. Here’s the forecast for the Islands on Monday Cloudier It was good while it lasted! The clouds rolled in for Sunday afternoon, so it's now goodbye to the clear skies for this week. Thanks to Isaac for the lovely colourful aerial view of Bar Point on Saturday evening, and good to see the sand back after the winter storms. Take a look at his website, isaacogdenphotography.com for more of his amazing photos. The wind will remain light on Monday, but it's goodbye to the gentle breeze after then too. On Monday, it will be light and cyclonic for much of the day, and eventually settle down to a SW wind at 5-15mph. It shouldn't rain, but the day will be a mix of clouds and sun, with the clouds likely to predominate. UV is optimistically forecast at 3. Temperatures will drop a little now, with maximums on Monday around at 10-12ºC. Overnight temperatures will still be 8-10ºC. However, without the warm sun it will feel colder than of late. Tuesday will be windier, with a chance of a shower in the evening as a cold front passes through overnight, and by Wednesday temperatures will drop by several degrees as the front will bring colder air in behind it. Most of the week will be dry, with just a chance of a light shower from time to time, ans some sun between the clouds. Sunrise on Monday is at 06.21 and sunset at 18.42.

🌊Good evening everyone, here are your tide times for Sunday🌊 It's not just sunburn you can be affected by in this lovely sunshine. Wear a hat to protect against sunstroke, and make sure you drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids to keep your hydration levels up. Save the alcohol until after the sun goes down, as that will only dehydrate you more. 🛑If you get into trouble or you see someone who needs help, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard or, if you are deaf or have a speech impairment you can send an emergency SMS🛑 Jane KWT KWT supported by islesofscillyflowers.com @islesofscillyflowers @oceanic-wave.com HM Coastguard Area 11 Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Coastal Safety RNLI #FloatToLive #Sea #tide #weather #kernow #cornwall #scilly #update #tootstaxi #KeepitChaos #Education #visitislesofscilly #Islands #islandsfm #kernow #scillytic #visitislesofscilly #cornwall #tidetimes #coastsafe

Good evening from the Isles of Scilly. Here’s the forecast for the Islands on Sunday Light wind Wasn't Saturday gorgeous? A perfect day for a trip on the Scillonian, pictured here arriving to St. Mary's at lunchtime. Thanks to Belinda for capturing this beautiful photo with the sea flat as a millpond and the heat haze over Tresco. Sunday will still enjoy light winds, more or less cyclonic with the majority of time from the N, at only 5-15mph, although it will start to freshen up a bit late in the day. During the afternoon a few clouds may roll in to spoil the uninterrupted sunshine of the last few days, as we head into cloudier week. There's no rain on the horizon though and it should be sunny for most of the day. UV levels are still forecast at 4 on Sunday. Temperatures may be a little lower at 10-12ºC during the daytime but overnight temperatures will still be 8-10ºC. It'll feel very warm in the sun unless the clouds roll in. And that's it for a while, with the end of the wall to wall sunshine. The coming week looks like more clouds but very little rain, and with some sun but not all the time. Monday and Tuesday look cloudier, and the wind will be freshening too, although next week looks mainly dry but with lower temperatures, particularly mid week with Wednesday looking quite breezy..Not much lower though, just a few degrees lower than now.

Good evening from the Isles of Scilly. Here’s the forecast for the Islands on Saturday Light wind Another lovely day. Thanks to Isaac for the beautiful photo of gig training on Thursday evening, that glorious sunset makes it a pleasure in contrast to all the wind and rain over the winter. It's only 6 weeks now until the World Pilot Gig Championships. Saturday will have a light but chilly breeze, mainly from the E-NE at between 5-15mph. Once again there are likely to be a few hazy clouds about early on, but these should clear away to sunshine by lunchtime at the latest, leaving us with the sun again. It should be a lovely day, and don't forget the sun protection. UV levels are forecast at 4 again. Temperatures will stay about the same. Actual temperatures should reach 11-13ºC during the daytime and overnight temperatures will still be 8-10ºC. It'll feel very warm in the sun with less wind as well, and the water temperatures are creeping up towards 11ºC now too. The sunny weather should continue for Sunday, but Monday could be cloudier. By Tuesday the wind will be freshening too, although next week looks mainly dry but with lower temperatures. Not really cold though, just a few degrees lower than now.

🌊Good evening everyone, here are your tide times for Saturday🌊 The highest and lowest tides are today, so if you're heading to the beach to enjoy the spring sunshine, make sure you don't get cut off by the afternoon's rising tides. Here's what to do, courtesy of the RNLI: To avoid getting cut off by the tide: Before you head out, make sure it's safe. Check the tide tables. While you're out, be aware of your surroundings and the tide's direction A beach can seem like a vast playground but the tide can come in surprisingly quickly. As the tide moves up and down the beach, the depth of the water changes throughout the day, sometimes by as much as 10 metres. As the tide comes in, simply walking further up the beach and away to safety might not be an option. If you've walked round to another cove at low tide, or walked around an outcrop of rocks, the water can soon block your way back as the tide turns. If the cove you're in doesn't have steps or access of its own, you could be in trouble. Don't get cut off by the tide, check them 🛑If you get into trouble or you see someone who needs help, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard or, if you are deaf or have a speech impairment you can send an emergency SMS🛑 Jane KWT KWT supported by islesofscillyflowers.com @islesofscillyflowers @oceanic-wave.com HM Coastguard Area 11 Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Coastal Safety RNLI #FloatToLive #Sea #tide #weather #kernow #cornwall #scilly #update #tootstaxi #KeepitChaos #Education #visitislesofscilly #Islands #islandsfm #kernow #scillytic

Good morning everyone… grab the coffee, have a stretch, and let’s take a look at what’s going on above our heads this morning Looking at the latest Meteosat satellite image for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, it’s a bit of a classic mixed bag start to the day. There’s plenty of hazy skies drifting around, along with patches of cloud that are doing their very best to gatecrash any sunshine trying to get through. It’s one of those mornings where you look outside and think, “Is that sunshine… or just the sky teasing me again?” The haze you’re seeing is often caused by tiny particles in the atmosphere things like dust, moisture, and even pollution which scatter the sunlight and give the sky that milky, washed-out look rather than a deep crisp blue. It’s quite common when we’ve got settled conditions or airflow coming up from the south, and while it doesn’t stop the sunshine completely, it does take a bit of the sparkle off it. Think of it as Cornwall running on “soft focus mode” this morning. That said, it’s not all gloom. There will be some areas that manage to break through into brighter spells with glimpses of blue sky and some decent sunshine at times. As always with Cornwall, it’ll be a bit of a postcode lottery… one village enjoying a lovely spring morning while the next one over is wondering where it all went wrong. Standard procedure down here. Now, while we’re quietly minding our own business under hazy skies, the atmosphere further south is getting a bit more lively… because out near the Canary Islands, things are kicking off. On the satellite imagery, you can actually spot the development of Storm Therese, the 19th named storm for the southwestern naming group. And unlike our gentle Cornish haze, this system means business. Warnings have already been issued for strong winds, heavy rain, and high waves heading into the end of the week across the Canary Islands. Storms like this form when there’s a clash of warm, moist air and cooler unstable air, often fuelled by the energy coming off the ocean. You’ll typically see those classic swirling cloud patterns on satellite images, almost like the atmosphere has decided to spin up its own weather drama. And while Therese is staying well away from us here in Cornwall, it’s a great reminder of just how connected our weather systems are across the Atlantic and beyond. It also shows just how busy the atmosphere is at the moment. While we’re dealing with haze and cloud, just a few thousand miles away there are waves building, winds howling, and rain hammering down. Makes our “where’s the sunshine gone?” situation feel a bit more manageable, doesn’t it? So this morning, expect a gentle mix of hazy brightness, cloud drifting through, and the odd cheeky bit of sunshine if you’re lucky enough to be in the right spot at the right time. Not a bad start… just a slightly filtered one. More updates as always throughout the day as we keep an eye on both our skies… and the drama unfolding further afield Kind regards KWT Dave

🌊Good evening everyone, here are your tide times for Friday🌊 Enjoying the sunshine? Take care that you don't burn. It's so easy to underestimate the strength of the sun in these low temperatures and cold winds, so it can affect you without finding out until it's too late. UV levels are up to 3-4 in the clear cold air, even though it's still March. Enjoy the sun, but follow the steps in the photo to make sure you don't suffer for it later! 🛑If you get into trouble or you see someone who needs help, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard or, if you are deaf or have a speech impairment you can send an emergency SMS🛑 Jane KWT KWT supported by islesofscillyflowers.com @islesofscillyflowers @oceanic-wave.com HM Coastguard Area 11 Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Coastal Safety RNLI #FloatToLive #Sea #tide #weather #kernow #cornwall #scilly #update #tootstaxi #KeepitChaos #Education #visitislesofscilly #Islands #islandsfm #kernow #scillytic #visitislesofscilly #cornwall #tidetimes #coastsafe

Good evening from the Isles of Scilly. Here’s the forecast for the Islands on Friday Less wind Thanks to Lydia for this lovely spring photo in Thursday's sunshine, sheltered from the cold wind. Friday should be feeling a little warmer, and we'll still be enjoying the wall to wall sunshine as a bonus, with less of the chilly E wind and no chance of rain or fog. It'll vary between 10-20mph on Friday so the wind chill factor will be less. There could be a bit of cloud around early in the morning but this should clear. The air's still chilly though. Don't expect the high temperatures like the mainland, but the sun here is much stronger and the air cleaner so it will feel hot in the sun and out of the wind. Dressing in layers is best to allow for the feel like difference depending on where you are. Keep a check for burning in the sun too. Actual temperatures should reach 11-13ºC again during the daytime and overnight temperatures will be 8-10ºC. The sunny weather should continue through the weekend, and the wind will drop a little from time to time. The temperatures won't change much from current levels. Next week looks less sunny and a little cooler but not bad at the moment. Sunrise on Friday is at 06.27 and sunset at 18.37. It's the vernal equinox and the start of astronomical spring, and it definitely feels like it.
