Tourist attractions and hotels report a boost in visitors thanks to | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
the sunshine. July was the second hottest since record-keeping began, | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
:00:30. | :00:36. | ||
with rising numbers out enjoying it. Passenger numbers are buying 14%. -- | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
are up by 14%. My wife has been in a bikini in Scotland if you can | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
believe it! Also tonight: A new coalition. A fresh campaign against | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
the so-called bedroom tax, as councils warn rent arrears are going | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
up. Scotland's population is the highest ever with more people moving | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
into the country from overseas. And a surprising portion of the | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
population of Perth will be here at Mick Dermot Park tonight. Good | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
Evening. July was the second warmest on record in Scotland, according to | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
the Met Office and it appears to have brought tourists out in force | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
across the country. Cal Mac carried 100,000 more passengers on its | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
ferries last month compared to the year before. Tourist attractions and | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
hotels are reporting big increases in visitors, as people opt for | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
staycations. Tonight, our reporter Catriona Renton is at Greenock on | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
the Clyde coast and Kevin Keane is at Crathes in Aberdeenshire. First | :01:31. | :01:41. | |
:01:41. | :01:42. | ||
let's cross to Catriona. That is right. We did not imagine that | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
really beautiful spell of weather. The second hottest July since | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
records began. It is a gorgeous night tonight above the Firth of | :01:51. | :02:00. | |
Clyde. As you were seeing, Cal Mac Ivars some statistics today. There | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
is the test takes are up 14%. 100,000 more passengers in July | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
alone. This morning I decided it was a good idea for me to go to Rothesay | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
and get down the water myself. It is all aboard the ferry. For | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
day-trippers and holiday-makers it is a lovely day for a trip down the | :02:25. | :02:35. | |
:02:35. | :02:37. | ||
Clyde. It is beautiful, we are just enjoying every minute of it. We are | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
here to enjoy the weather and enjoy the views. My wife has been in a | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
bikini. It is beautiful.It is lovely when the weather is like | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
:03:01. | :03:04. | ||
this. It is evidence that more of us are having a staycation this year. | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
We have carried a next 100,000 passengers in July. We are very | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
happy with that. -- an extra 100,000 passengers. On dry land the sunshine | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
seems to have been a boost for the local economy. We have sold more ice | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
cream this year and we hope the youngsters will continue to come | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
back to the island. The weather must continue because things smiles to | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
everyone's faces, including mine. The guaranteeing sunshine abroad | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
largely put paid to people holidaying at home by could the | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
sunshine we have had this year increased the numbers staying at | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
home? We have had a lovely fish and chip lunch and have got brochures to | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
find out about the motels, we will probably come back again. Tell me | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
why you like it? Because it is beautiful. There are lots of | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
flowers. It really does seem a shame that we now have to get the very | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
warm. It is not just the West of Scotland that has been feeling the | :04:25. | :04:34. | |
coolers, my colleague is in Aberdeen. No sunshine here, good | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
Scottish weather and it is raining like mad year at the moment. In the | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
north-east you the tourist industry is known for two things, whiskey and | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
these things. The National trust reports a 33% increase in people | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
through the door is in June and July this year. That trend has been | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
repeated in all of its properties across Scotland. It is not just the | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
castle is doing well, I have been to one of the more unusual attractions. | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
It has been of a detail future for Scotland's tourism industry. The sun | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
and lack of rain has allowed attractions like this one to thrive. | :05:24. | :05:34. | |
:05:34. | :05:34. | ||
The storybook glen near Aberdeen has seen a 30% rise in visitor numbers. | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
We are all in a better humour. They are smiling and they stay longer | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
because obviously they are not getting soaked or cold. Even if you | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
:05:54. | :05:54. | ||
get a good spell in April or May it reflects directly on how many people | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
:06:04. | :06:04. | ||
come. Safely delivering visitors is by no means a given but this year | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
that has been a very happy man. Tracking these are just what the | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
parents are happy for. When it is funny you can do a lot more things | :06:16. | :06:25. | |
that don't costs or March. Trips to the beach and the parks. The kids | :06:25. | :06:34. | |
run around for ages and it tires them out. It is lovely to come and | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
spend a day. It would not BBC misfit was raining but in the sunshine it | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
is just Claudius. I think eggs would be having a more enjoyable time | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
today if they were here because it is still raining quite hard. -- just | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
Claudius. -- I think eggs would be having a more enjoyable time. -- | :07:00. | :07:10. | |

pigs. This year it seems everyone is winning, apart from me! Thank you | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
both. It looks like our satellite is breaking up there. And I'm joined | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
now by our weather presenter Gillian Smart. So, Gillian, just how did | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
July shape up and is this the kind of summer we can expect more of in | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
the future? It was certainly a scorcher Sally. It was warm and | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
sunny. The second warmest on record. We had 50% more sunshine than normal | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
above the winner torrential thundery downpours during the latter part of | :07:52. | :08:02. | |
:08:02. | :08:03. | ||
the month. Rainfall was close to the seasonal average. Temperatures were | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
we, wee up on what we would expect for this time of year. We recorded | :08:11. | :08:21. | |
:08:21. | :08:21. | ||
just under 16 hours of sunshine on one day. Can we expect more of this? | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
Apparently not, future summers in the UK are expected to be Saudi -- | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
soggy and wet. The temperature of the Atlantic ocean rises and falls | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
in cycles and it is thought that can have some influence on the position | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
of the jet stream which we know in turn influences our weather. I | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
pressure dominates the settled and dry conditions and when it slips to | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
the south of us like it did during the latter part of July low pressure | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
can take precedence. It is thought those changes in ocean temperature | :08:58. | :09:07. | |
are causing the Jetstream to slights or more wet weather. But before you | :09:07. | :09:16. | |
shoot the messenger, that is just one the day. Find you, Gillian. That | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
has taken the weather right out of our sails! It's now four months | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
since the UK Government's changes to housing benefit took effect. The | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
so-called bedroom tax means many tenants deemed to have spare | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
bedrooms receive less benefit. Today, a new campaign group was | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
launched to fight the changes. Here's our local government | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
correspondent Jamie McIvor. This couple moved to the specially built | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
house after he was badly injured in an industrial accident. The house | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
has four bedrooms but the family are deemed to only need to know. Since | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
the housing benefit changes came in they have lost money, �43 every | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
month. To make up the difference we are having to cut down on shopping, | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
mop the heating on so much, we are having to do our best but it is | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
really having a big impact. While we hear plenty of individual stories | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
about the so-called bedroom tax, piecing together the overall impact | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
:10:33. | :10:34. | ||
across Scotland remains challenging. Some councils are taking steps to | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
minimise the impact on the tenants. There are up to 30 eight households | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
with in our pipeline at the moment where we would like to declassify | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
the extra bedroom because they are using it to store disability | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
furniture. Today a new campaign group was launched to try to reverse | :11:00. | :11:07. | |
the changes. There there's a real disparity in terms of what Scottish | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
councils are doing in terms of mitigation. Using the full extent of | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
discretionary housing payments and some are not doing it at all. | :11:19. | :11:28. | |
see there is help for the vulnerable. �3.5 million of extra | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
money was given to local authorities in Scotland who expressed a need for | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
that support. If they do not talk to the government, how can the | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
government now? Judging the impact beyond individual stories like this | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
family is difficult. You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Still to come on the programme: How Edinburgh Festival shows are dealing | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
with the topic of independence. In sport: St Johnstone take another | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
shot at European glory tonight and I'm hear to preview it with a Saints | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
star from days gone by. We'll also hear from the England manager about | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
next week's game with Scotland and Andy Murray's thoughts on the man | :12:12. | :12:22. | |
:12:22. | :12:23. | ||
who called him boring. All that litre. A fancy dress float, | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
featuring men dressed as the disgraced TV presenter Jimmy Savile, | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
has been described as distasteful by the local MSP. The float was taking | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
part in a parade following the Lauder Common Riding celebrations in | :12:34. | :12:43. | |
the Borders. Cameron Buttle reports from Lauder. There is a huge amount | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
of right here. It is a spectacular event that dates back hundreds of | :12:47. | :12:55. | |
years. The fancy dress but they'd is part of the civic celebrations. This | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
year there has been considerable controversy over one entry into the | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
fancy dress parade. On the float, one man is dressed as Jimmy Savile, | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
the disgraced former TV presenter. Other men are dressed as young | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
schoolgirls. Following the publication of photographs in the | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
local newspaper there has been angry reaction. Some say it is an | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
appropriate and in poor taste. They'd certain topics that are not | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
suitable for a public parade with families. This is one of them. There | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
may indeed have been people there who had themselves been vet terms. I | :13:36. | :13:44. | |
think they should reflect on that as well. There is disappointment and | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
anger over the float and over the media coverage it had received. The | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
Lauder Common Riding committee said it did condemned the float. It said | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
it is up to the individuals and their conscience about how they | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
represent themselves. It said, this year it did not receive a single | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
complaint about any of the entries. Scotland's population has reached a | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
record high. At the end of June last year, it stood at more than 5.3 | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
million - that's up 18,000 over Census Day in 2011. There were more | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
births than deaths, but the rise is mainly due to people moving into | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
Scotland. Our social affairs correspondent joins me now. The | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
population's been moving upwards steadily over the past few years, | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
hasn't it? Yes, and it is gathering pace. If you look at the figures | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
from the 2001 census, we had a population of just over 5 million. | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
That caused some concern. Jack McConnell launched a campaign to | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
make sure Scotland's population kept growing. In 2011, the next census, | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
we saw that the figure had in fact risen to just under 5.3 million. The | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
latest figures, from the middle of last year, show that it has gone up | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
further, to 5.31 3 million. There are a few reasons for that. There | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
are more births than deaths. That is probably because of the health | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
advances we have had, but also more people are coming into Scotland than | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
are leaving the country. People have always left Scotland. More people | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
are coming in. What we are finding is that the people are coming in and | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
are coming from outwith the United Kingdom. They are coming from | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
overseas. However, the rates of them coming is slowing and that is | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
concerning because we need 24,000 extra people each year to keep up | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
our economic performance. It is confirming a trend that we have been | :15:43. | :15:53. | |
aware of. Scotland is getting older. Absolutely. Figures were published | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
showing a 14% increase in the number of people aged 75 and over. A 16% | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
increase in the age group below that. And a 14% increase in the age | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
group before that, 45-59. That is worrying because we are also seeing, | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
in the younger age groups, a decrease in the order of 6% in under | :16:14. | :16:22. | |
16-year-olds. And a decrease of 9% in the age group 30-44. That means | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
there will be fewer people able to afford to pay the pensions or the | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
older population, however the number of under five-year-olds is on the | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
rise. The number of serious allegations | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
made against doctors in Scotland has risen by almost three-quarters in | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
five years. Last year, the General Medical Council looked at 126 | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
allegations of misconduct, compared to 69 in 2007. They resulted in 54 | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
tribunals, with eight doctors struck off. The General Medical Council has | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
heard cases about two surgeons practising in Aberdeen. | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
Edinburgh's festival season is in full swing, with every topic under | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
the sun being debated. But only a handful are about the particularly | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
hot subject of Scottish independence, and most of those are | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
by non-Scottish companies. Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
reports. You don't have to look far to find people mulling over the | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
subject of Scottish identity. There are only a handful of shows about | :17:21. | :17:30. | |
independence. Most of those are buying non-Scottish companies. This | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
show is the work of an English company who have asked performers | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
from both sides of the border to build a ballot, night by night, over | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
the festival. It feels like a very lively, funded eight. I do not think | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
anyone feels like they are being hit over the head with any agenda or | :17:47. | :17:57. | |
:17:57. | :18:01. | ||
manifesto. It really is, how about this as an idea? It is fun. Some, | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
like Finland, have direct experience of the independence debate and share | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
that ensures like this one. messages, remember, you are human. | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
Whenever you are, take care of yourself and your friends and I | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
think yourself, you make the decision. Perhaps it is just too | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
soon for Scottish performance to nail their colours to the mast. It | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
could be next year before the debate really gets going. This time next | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
year, you will not be able to throw a rock without hitting a show about | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
independence. The beauty of the Edinburgh fringe is the | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
unpredictability of the zeitgeist. At the moment, there are a lot of | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
work from both sides of the border about protest, about dissent. As we | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
get closer, it will crystallise until the fine points, the satire, | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
the clear stories are covered. You lack this time next year, expect | :19:05. | :19:14. | |
independence to be the topic on everyone's list. -- lips And there's | :19:14. | :19:17. | |

The City Council is facing legal claims from a number of those | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
involved. But the authority says it has yet to find evidence of any | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
wrongdoing. A woman suffered serious head | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
injuries after falling 40ft down cliffs at Hawkcraig Point in | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
Aberdour in Fife last night. Emergency service crews, including a | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
specialist rope rescue team from Lochgelly, helped get the injured | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
woman to a waiting ambulance. A 17th-century mansion saved from | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
ruin has won a national restoration prize. Kinross House was named | :19:55. | :19:58. | |

will be judged by the industry and it is also a kind of celebration for | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
the industry that something good is happening at entry level in the UK. | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
Also here is Ian Livingston, the creator of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
What do you think of the talent you see on display? I am really | :22:05. | :22:13. | |
impressed. Dundee has a rich history of supporting the games industry. | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
The games industry is a booming industry, it is mass-market | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
entertainment. With smartphone devices, everyone is playing | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
entertainment on buses and trains on the Underground. You can see that | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
small studios can now reach global audiences. Away from the computer | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
screens, delegates will discuss the later development thinking pewter | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
gaming. Events like this have helped make this city a centre of the UK | :22:38. | :22:48. | |
:22:48. | :22:50. | ||
gaming industry. It is time for sport. Are you | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
accompanied by the dulcet tones of Neil Diamond? | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
The announcer seems to like Sweet Caroline. You can see McDermott Park | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
filling up nicely. There are loads of fans here already, one hour to go | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
until kick-off. You can see the goalkeeper is out there doing their | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
pre-match warm up. I am nice and warm here. I am due to preview a big | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
night for St Johnstone and they take another shot at European glory. By | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
which I mean a place in the final qualifying round of the Europa | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
League. St Johnstone, who've already seen off Norwegian champions | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
Rosenborg, take a 1-0 advantage into the second leg of their qualifier | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
:23:41. | :23:47. | ||
against Minsk of Belarus. I have got a Saints star of yesteryear, Allan | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
Preston. How big an occasion is this? It is as big as it gets. They | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
have a 1-0 lead after their first game in Belarus. In the last round | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
they were one - zero up going into the second leg. They just squeezed | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
through. This time are you expecting a similarly tense and anxious even | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
in tonight? You'll I am. But St Johnstone had a brilliant result | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
last week and tonight they are the home side, the onus is on them to go | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
and attack. I do not think they will sit back. They will attack and try | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
to get an early lead. I always ask my guest for a quick | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
prediction. I think St Johnstone will win 2-0. Thank you. There is | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
another big match coming up next week. Scotland play England at | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
Wembley. Excuse me while I fiddle about with my script. The Scottish | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
national team will get their first taste of goal-line technology. The | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
new Hawk-eye system has been installed at Wembley ahead of | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
Wednesday's friendly. The England squad was named today and it | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
features Wayne Rooney, despite him currently being injured. It is a bit | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
naive to think that with the little football he has played, he will be | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
able to play for 90 minutes. We are aware of that. But we are in | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
agreement that it is good he comes here and we will have to make a | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
judgement call on how sensible it is to play him, and if we do play him, | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
for how long will it be sensible to let him play. | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
Tonight, Andy Murray takes on a man who not so long ago called him and | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
the other players in the world's top four ''boring''. The Wimbledon | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
Champion plays Latvia's Ernest Gulbis in the third round of the | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
Rogers Cup in Canada. Murray is more concerned with his opponent's style | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
on court. He will use drop shots and come to the net, but he can also | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
make quite a few errors, so it is tough to get into a rhythm against | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
him in terms of what he says, sometimes he is fairly outspoken, | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
but then when you see him the next day he is really nice to you. It is | :26:09. | :26:17. | |
a slightly strange one. That is it for tonight. You can listen to | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
tonight's match on BBC Radio Scotland. Their role also be updates | :26:21. | :26:29. | |
on Motherwell's match. Thanks. Let's go back to Gillian for | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
the weather forecast. the weather forecast. | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
No record breaking temperatures but I can promise you sunshine tomorrow. | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
We have got some rain to get through first, we have got a weather front | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
pushing in from the Atlantic bringing outbreaks of rain and that | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
is already well in across the Western Isles, the West Highlands as | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
well. That cloud and rain spread right across to all parts and the | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
rain will be heavy at time, especially for Argyle. Quite a misty | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
and murky condition, especially some hill fog. Milder than last night. | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
Temperatures holding up at 11 to 14 Celsius. There will be a | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
southeasterly breeze. Tomorrow it is cloudy and damp start, rain will | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
hang on in the north-east, but elsewhere across the country it will | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
clear up. Skies will brighten and we will see sunshine getting through, | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
albeit with a scattering of showers. At 4pm, still some sovereign cloud | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
but some sunshine getting through. -- stoppered cloud. Some cloudy | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
conditions for Orkney but it should brighten up. Shetland will hold onto | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
cloud with some rain and temperatures just 15 Celsius as a | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
result. Some rain hangs around on the coast, but inland, | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
Aberdeenshire, should see sunshine. Across central and southern | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
Scotland, we might see the best of the sunshine. Temperatures getting | :27:52. | :27:59. | |
up to 19 or wealthy Celsius. -- 20 Celsius. Very little changes | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
tomorrow. As we head into the weekend, for Saturday we have still | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
got that westerly airflow and it will continue to bring in some | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
servers. Mainly for western Scotland, where again some of them | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
will be heavy. -- some showers. Temperatures are a notch down on | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
what we have seen. The extent or 18 Celsius. For Saturday night, a | :28:23. | :28:30. |
