:03:32.:03:34.

We're in a really tough group. We're under no illusions there.

:03:35.:03:41.

We've got Australia, the world number one and they've just won

It hasn't been a bad day weather-wise. Most of us have seen a

bit of blue skies. Over the next few days we will continue to see bright

:04:14.:04:16.

spells across Wales but some showers. The ridge of high pressure

:04:17.:04:20.

keeping things settled but low pressures of the North means showers

:04:21.:04:24.

are never far away. It raced onto the night for most of us, a few

:04:25.:04:28.

scattered showers across South Wales. Tomorrow morning, we should

:04:29.:04:36.

cease and decent, bright spells but as the day develops showers will

:04:37.:04:39.

make their way across the East and some of them pretty heavy especially

:04:40.:04:45.

across Ceredigion and Powys. Top temperatures, 1819 Celsius. Breezy

:04:46.:04:51.

around coastal path. Changeable conditions of the next few days,

:04:52.:04:54.

temperatures not doing too badly. I'll be back with your next update

:04:55.:04:55.

tomorrow evening at six o'clock. Good evening. It looks like for most
