One, we now join the BBC's news teams where | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. Coming up tonight Delays at the airport as transport | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
bosses battle heritage campaigners to knock down the old Arrivals hall. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
A new deal for older people in Guernsey who can now keep property | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
assets and get extra care. Plus, 100 years on, we hear a | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Guernsey soldier's memories of World War One. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
And he's got the voice but will he get the votes? We join a Jerseyman's | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
journey to pop stardom. Plans to demolish Jerzy's airport | :00:38. | :00:58. | |
arrivals building will have to be rethought after a decision on the | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
matter was delayed by the planning Minister. It port bosses want to | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
knock down the 1937 terminal as they say it is too close to the runway. | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
Deputy Duhamel wants to come up with alternatives, including moving the | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
runway instead. Four years after originally asking | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
to demolish Jersey Airport Arrivals hall, it's still standing. And looks | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
like it will be for a while longer yet. At a planning meeting this | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
morning the Minister Deputy Robert Duhamel delayed his decision. Jersey | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
Airport's arguments have remained the same throughout this.. The | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
building's too high and as such is a safety risk, and if it remains, the | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Civil Aviation Authority will be forced to impose flying restrictions | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
that will "severely impact business". But the Minister, who | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
only listed the building last month, also has to consider the heritage | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
argument, and so today delayed his decision to explore an alternative | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
to knocking down the hall. But some officials believe that alternative | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
isn't realistic". He has asked for a review of the possibility of what | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
the impact, the financial impact and environmental impact, would be | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
shifting the runway by however many metres required so that it would | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
take the 1937 building out of the equation in terms of being an | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
obstacle for that runway. I think it is going to be pretty obvious that | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
this will not be a solution. Airport bosses say while they respect the | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
minister's decision to delay an outcome, it could take months to get | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
the runway plans together. And they're worried about the impact of | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
moving the runway closer to the heart of St Peter. We already know | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
that if they move the runway towards the north there will be significant | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
impact on Saint Peter, not only in the North but also on approaches, | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
other buildings will have to be demolished. That significantly | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
outweighs the removal of this one building. But the decision to delay | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
spells good news for heritage campaigners. Everyone acknowledges | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
that it is a building of national importance, British national | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
importance. It is the last remaining, I believe, building of | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
that vintage existing in the whole of the United Kingdom now. Jersey | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
Airport hopes to start work on a new arrivals hall that meets modern | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
safety standards by 2017. But this latest twist could see those plans | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
struggle to get off the ground on time. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
Meanwhile a decision on whether a five`storey, glass`fronted office | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
complex should be built on Jersey's seafront has also been deferred | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Deputy Duhamel refused the original scheme next to the Grand hotel last | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
year, but the developer Dandara has since changed the design. | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
Guernsey's Chief Minister could be asked to step down after an article | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
in this month's Private Eye magazine. It focused Deputy Peter | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Harwood's involvement in the Channel Island Stock Exchange, whilst he was | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
also chairman of the Guernsey Financial Services Commission. It's | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
led to calls for him to resign, even if it's just temporary. The issue | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
was due to be discussed this afternoon after concerns about the | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
potential damage to the island's reputation. | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
For the first time, people in Guernsey will be able to buy flats | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
at the States new Extra Care housing developments. The old Maison | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Maritaine and Longue Rue residential homes are both being replaced ` and | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
the new buildings are set to include a number of apartments to be sold on | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
a 'partial ownership' basis. Penny Elderfield reports. | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
Kathryn will be 101 when she moves in here. A big change from the one | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
bedroom she lives in had her current residential home. It is so different | :04:34. | :04:47. | |
to have so much space around after living in one small room, and we | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
have got two or three rooms to walk through. It will really be quite | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
different, very pleasant. Allowing people to live more independently, | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
with the extra help they need on site, is really the way state care | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
homes are going. We have got wider doorways, lower light switches and | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
higher sockets as well. It has been designed for wheelchair turning | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
circles. One of two new developments, this should be | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
finished by the summer. And for the first time some of these flats will | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
also be available to buy. We know there is a lot of demand. We have | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
got 100 plus people already expressing an interest. Partial | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
ownership will and able people to own a property and to access these | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
schemes, just like people who want to rent here. But with just ten | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
flats available for partial ownership across the two sites ` and | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
plans for another seven, demand is likely to outstrip supply. This is | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
only a small number of flats, but we have got to start somewhere, and it | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
is useful to ascertain the demand. If there is a big demand, we will | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
look to try to do more in the future. But the reality of living | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
here is just months away for Kathryn ` and it's something she's looking | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
forward to. This year marks the 100th | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
anniversary of the beginning of the First World War. More than 2.5 | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
million men volunteered to serve in the British Army ` among them, | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
thousands of Channel Islanders. 18`year`old Edmund Lenfestey was | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
just one of the many Guernsey men who volunteered to serve. When he | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
returned to the island in 1919, he wrote about his experiences at some | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
of the bloodiest battles in history. Mike Wilkins reports. | :06:28. | :06:39. | |
I must honestly mention that I have never sang hymns and prayed so much | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
as I did in this area. It was absolutely playing with life and | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
death. A Guernseyman's memories of life on the front line. Edmund | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Lenfesty served in the seventh Division of the Royal Field | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Artillery and saw action at the Somme, Ypres and Passchendaele. | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
Extracts from his memoirs also tell of us of the lucky escape at | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Passchendaele as he ran along duckboards just as the German | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
artillery spotted him. So I ran like I never had done before and luckily | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
for me I caught my toe on an overlapping board and fell plumb on | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
my face which stunned me for a bit. A shell exploded just in front and I | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
only had the dirt. And his wartime experiences were still vivid 70 | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
years later when he spoke to the Imperial War Museum. It was | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
horrible, but there you are, you had to go. You never thought about | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
yourself. But all the same, it was a frightening experience. Almost 00 | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
years on and Edmund's shell case still stands proud in his grandson's | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
living room. Edmund often mentioned the hand of God in his memoirs but | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
avoided mentioning it when he rewrote them later in life as his | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
grandson Shane told me. He was very religious person. I found | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
interesting that in his first rat in 1919, he attributes his survival to | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
divine providence. But when he came to rewrite his memoir is years | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
later, he left all of that out. It is almost as if he realised, it was | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
presumptuous to assume that it was divine providence. I think he | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
realised it was really just luck that saw him through. Edmund was a | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
modest man and his family say he was just one of many who did their duty, | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
and not all of them came back. And it's sobering when you read the | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
names carved onto our war memorials. Around 5000 people left Guernsey to | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
go and fight, and there are almost a thousand people listed on here is | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
killed in action. Just looking at the Guernsey example, on December | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
one, 1917, nearly 100 Guernsey men were killed in that one day. If that | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
happens nowadays, it would make international, let alone national | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
news. There is nothing like that on that sort of scale, thankfully, | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
happening nowadays. 100 years is a long time ` but when almost all of | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
us have a direct connection to the First World War, its impact still | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
lives on. And World War One At Home continues | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
this week on BBC Radio Guernsey and BBC Radio Jersey ` and here on BBC | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Channel Islands News. A singer from Jersey has made it | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
through to the second stage of the BBC programme The Voice. Jamie | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Lovatt, who went to Hautlieu School, appeared in the singing show on | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
Saturday night, performing Everybody's Free in front of the | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
likes of Kylie Minogue answer Tom Jones. `` Sir Tom Jones. | :09:48. | :10:02. | |
To be successful in all I do, that is all that matters. I am from | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Jersey. It is an amazing place, beautiful. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
Taking to the stage in front of an audience of millions but for | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
24`year`old Jamie from Jersey this isn't any music contest. This | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
competition works by the contestants singing and then the panel, | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
including artists like well I am and Kylie Minogue, turning around if | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
they like the sound of the contestants' voice. And for Jamie | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
Day did. Having the contestants `` judges' Baxter you helps. `` backs | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
to you. I really wanted Ricky and Kylie to turn around. Ricky being a | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
front man, and having a similar background to me, made it easier to | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
go with them. I am going to go with you, Ricky. It was Ricky Wilson that | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
Jamie decided to choose as his mentor. I am over the moon. Jamie | :11:05. | :11:14. | |
moved to London from Jersey when he was 18 to focus on his music, but he | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
says his roots definitely lie here in the Channel Islands. I am the | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
first contestant to go on a show like this from the Channel Islands, | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
point`blank. For Guernsey as well, if this encourages more people from | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
the islands to try stuff like this, from both islands, and the rest of | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
the little islands we have got amongst us as the channel, I think | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
that is a really positive thing Jamie will be back on our screens | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
here on BBC One on Saturday the 7th of March as he continues in his | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
quest to land that all important record deal and be named The Voice | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
UK. Good luck, Jamie. Just before the | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
weather, UK archaeologists are in Jersey at the moment assessing | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
damage after the recent storms. Evidence of Neanderthal man and | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
woolly mammoths have been found in the past, and some of the best | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
archaeology in northern Europe. But winter storms have eroded some of | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
the ground which has protected those remains for years. The recent storms | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
have removed some of the sediment and some of the boulders that would | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
previously have protected the sediment from further erosion. We | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
have got the challenge of coming up with an understanding of how this | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
process is taking place and developing a plan for the site's | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
future management. Let's get the weather. | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
We are expecting things to turn wet and windy tonight. Strong winds and | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
heavy rain, gale force winds at times, and potentially 20 to 30 | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
millilitres of rain, as a band of rain pushes and from the West. But | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
it will be a dry start the night, especially across parts of Jersey. | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
Clear skies for a time. Rain makes its way in from the west. The wind | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
direction, southerly featured, that changes to a south`westerly feature, | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
he'll force winds at times. Wind speed, about 20`30 mph. Overnight | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
lows of seven or eight Celsius, it will not be a cold night. These | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
temperatures are above average. A fairly dry start tomorrow, showers | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
make their way across from the West, heavy at times across parts of | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Guernsey, and strong winds at times tomorrow, adding to that unsettled | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
field. Sunny spells as well, temperatures reaching ten, maybe 11 | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
Celsius. Above average, yet again. Coastal waters forecast, the sea | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
temperature will be about nine or 10 Celsius. Wind speed is fairly | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
strong, these are times of high waters tomorrow. Quite large waves | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
expected because of those strong winds. Quite a choppy and messy | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
condition out on the sea. Strong winds because of this area of low | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
pressure north of the UK. A brief respite on Wednesday before another | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
band of rain mixed with towards us. Introducing further bands of heavy | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
rain and heavy showers behind that. Hopefully, some sunny spells as | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
well. It is not all bad news over the next few days. The winds will | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
remain fairly strong at times, top ten gritters reaching ten or 11 | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
Celsius. `` top temperatures. That's all from me. Coverage from | :14:31. | :14:35. | |

now seven defeats from the last eight for Exeter Chiefs in rugby's | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
Premiership. It follows their 23`10 loss at second`placed Saracens. They | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
actually led by seven points to nil through Ian Whitten's try, but | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
Sarries managed to go into the interval on level terms. Gareth | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
Steenson's penalty put Chiefs 10`7 ahead, but that was the end of | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
Exeter's scoring as Saracens showed what they're capable of with another | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
touchdown. The weekend's football saw pick`me`ups for Yeovil Town and | :15:49. | :15:51. | |

of a positive. Doncaster and Millwall still to come. That was | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
even more reason why that was important. He hits the crossbar! | :16:28. | :16:37. | |
Plymouth Argyle score! A dream start. You cannot swear or shout at | :16:38. | :16:47. | |
the referee. He also asked me to try and contain myself if they scored. I | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
was biting my fist when we scored. It was a great experience. Everyone | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
here has been welcoming. I had a great day. 2`1! What a cross! The | :17:01. | :17:13. | |
referee played his part, at a river could advantage. The throw and is | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
taken, good save and it is in the net. A good save! Lovely turn, still | :17:20. | :17:29. | |

the outbreak of the First World War. The conflict changed lives right | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
across the South West and this week on Spotlight we'll be looking at the | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
impact of World War One at home. We've unearthed some remarkable | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
stories showing the region and its people at war, from the Exeter nurse | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
on the Front line to the lace factory that made munitions. The | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
series starts tonight in West Cornwall, where I've been finding | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
out about the role of the airships stationed there. 100 years ago, the | :18:33. | :18:44. | |
site of enormous airships in the skies above Cornwall, when few | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
Cornish people had seen an aeroplane, must have increased the | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
sense of fear and foreboding. When Germany declared a submarine | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
blockade of Britain in 1915, the airships were given the job of | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
spotting them. 100 years on, this is all that is left, these concrete | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
blocks would have held massive hangar doors and to give you an idea | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
of the scale of the hangar, it would have been 80 feet high. The airships | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
themselves would have come out through the doors, either side there | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
would have been windbreaks allowing them a clear take off over the | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
English Channel. Local historian Peter London has studied the role of | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
the airships and how strategically important they were. It was vital, | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
sinkings had increased to almost catastrophic proportions. This was | :19:38. | :19:47. | |
one of the busiest stations, patrolling from dawn until dusk, | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
seven days a week. It was almost regardless of the weather. What sort | :19:52. | :20:02. | |
of impact did the base have? : so. `` it was massive. The hangers were | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
large. One was the size of Wembley football pitch. They were nearly 80 | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
feet high in the area. Local people would never have seen anything like | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
it. To see an airship would have been like something out of classic | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
literature for local people. The memories of one of the pilots who | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
took off from this site were recorded for the archives of the | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
Imperial War Museum in 1972. He was stationed here from 1917. We would | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
keep a watch on fishing fleets, because there were recorded cases of | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
submarines coming up to the surface and shelling the fishing fleets. The | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
modern`day anti`submarine fleet at RAF cold rows is based in line of | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
sight of the old air Station. The role undertaken by helicopters is | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
substantially the same, but conditions on board are very | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
different. With respect to the airship, it is a small, contained | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
environment, five guys living in that condition, very cold, open to | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
the elements. Working in that environment for upwards of 15 to 20 | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
hours, it was the longest patrol time, we are more comfortable, we | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
are still airborne for up to three hours with the right conditions, but | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
we are heated and a lot more comfortable. I would be happier | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
flying in this than 100 years ago. Do you look back at that time and | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
think of the sacrifices they were making and the pioneering spirit | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
that they had which led to the Royal Navy of today? Yes. The guys then | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
did an incredible job under massive stress. That has led to the ethos | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
that the Navy has taken on and we are very proud. As well as naval | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
tradition being built on the work of airships pilots, the technology they | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
developed helped form the basis for a modern`day anti`submarine | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
warfare. They pioneered some of the things we use today like Hydra | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
phonics. There were the acoustics and sounds we use as well. Having | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
researched the story, when you look across there are, what goes through | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
your mind? We have flown for up to three hours, and that can be | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
arduous, but 12 hours in an aircraft, looking for something, it | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
is quite emotional. We have a lot to thank them for. It is not just the | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
ethos that lives on, a physical legacy from the old air station is | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
still at the heart of one of the communities. At the end of the First | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
World War, when soldiers were coming back home, they called a meeting in | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
the school in 1919, and suggested that they put their demob money | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
towards buying this building. How did it physically end up here? From | :23:16. | :23:25. | |
farmlands. It was brought down here and rebuilt. It is amazing to think | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
we have this wonderful legacy out of something which was so horrific. It | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
is wonderful. Originally it was a YMCA building. They were the | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
trustees for some years. Then the village took it over. A good place. | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
On the ground and in the air, the work of those early aviators lives | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
on. Tomorrow the series continues when we reveal how a Devon factory | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
found itself on a war footing. If you want to know more about World | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
War I At Home, a partnership between the BBC and Imperial War Museum, go | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
to bbc.co.uk/ww1, and you can hear more on your local BBC radio station | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
tomorrow morning at 8:15am. It's time for the weather now and | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
tonight Owen Wyn`Evans has all the details for us. | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
Some fairly settled weather, but it has been breezy with some sunny | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
spells. The story will change tonight, we are expecting heavy rain | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
and the story for this week is further bands of heavy rain and | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
showers, very windy at times, gale`force winds on the coast, but | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
it is still fairly mild. This is the satellite image from earlier, you | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
can see the cloud in the Atlantic. This is a deep area of low pressure | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
and this is what will make things unsettled for us over the next few | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
days. You can see what is likely to happen. Rain moving into the East, | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
these isobars, close together, which means strong winds. Tuesday into | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
Wednesday, as the low pressure moves away, a brief respite before this | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
low pressure system introduces another band of rain and heavy | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
showers and strong winds. The radar image from earlier, we can see the | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
rain creeping into some parts of the South West. That will continue on | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
its journey into the East over the next few hours. We will take a | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
closer look from. That rain could get heavier at times. Behind it, | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
plenty of showers. Some parts of Cornwall will dry up, but further | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
east, the showers will turn heavier for a time. The winds will | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
strengthen and change direction, but temperatures tonight are quite mild. | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
We are looking at six or seven degrees. Tomorrow morning, it will | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
not be as pleasant as this morning, but some sunny spells, especially in | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
parts of Somerset and plenty of heavy showers making their way | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
across the South West. You can see the wind direction, we are expecting | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
some gales along the coast. Temperatures tomorrow are not very | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
disappointing, ten or 11 degrees. Those strong winds will take the | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
edge off those temperatures. For the Isles of Scilly, temperatures around | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
ten or 11 degrees, strong winds, high water at 13 .04. These are the | :26:42. | :26:52. | |
times of high water. Quite windy and blustery conditions, so the surf | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
conditions are quite choppy. The coastal waters forecast... Quite a | :26:59. | :27:10. | |
rough sea and the gale`force winds will add to that unsettled field. | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
Over the next three days, it is not all bad news, we will see sunny | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
spells and on Wednesday, between this area of low pressure and the | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
next, a defect `` a brief respite. Looking forward to the weekend, more | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
in the way of strong winds and heavy rain. There is more information on | :27:30. | :27:31. | |
the weather website. | :27:32. | :27:36. |
