Our main story: The Brownlee brothers have won gold and silver in | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
the triathlon, with Alistair beating his brother | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
There's no change in the overall pass rate but the Education Minister | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
says she's concerned that the numbers getting | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
We want to see continued improvement year-on-year and this shop is | :00:17. | :00:30. | |
something we will need to look at. As an opencast mine in Powys | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
is moth-balled with the loss of 75 jobs, we'll look at | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
the future for the industry. In tonight's sport: | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Hannah Mills finally Now all eyes turn to | :00:39. | :00:39. | |
Jade Jones this evening. Jade Jones is preparing for her | :00:40. | :00:56. | |
quarterfinal bout. Can she defend her title and win gold once again? | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
And remembering the spitfire pilot who penned a world-famous | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Thousands of students in Wales are considering their future | :01:03. | :01:22. | |
The overall pass rate is the same as last year - | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
97.3% of Welsh students got A-star to E grades. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
But the number getting the highest A star and A grades | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
A small drop, but the lowest it's been since A-stars | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
Our education correspondent Bethan Lewis reports. | :01:42. | :01:55. | |
After weeks of apprehension the results are in. It was a similar | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
scene in schools and colleges across Wales this morning. The some of the | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
letters made happier reading than others. Students in Bridgend, Colwyn | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Bay and Aberystwyth were amongst those getting the results. I'm going | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
to Exeter. I needed three A 's. I am really happy. Relieved more than | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
anything. B, C, D and any. It's what I expected. I got three season which | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
I am quite happy with and I'm going to study in Staffordshire. I am over | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
the moon. Not everyone will get the grades and the message for those who | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
are disappointed is not to panic and consider the other options | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
available. Those getting results at this school near Bridgend were | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
joined by Education Secretary Kirsty Williams. Her job will be to look at | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
the results and work out what the government can do to boost | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
performance for everyone. Over the weeks to come we will be looking | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
carefully across all subjects and all centres that have had students | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
sitting exams to look to see what the Welsh Government can do and what | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
schools can do to make sure we are on it to victory of improving the | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
highest pass rate in years to come. The positives for the Welsh | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
Government will be the good performance in maths where Wales | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
gets a higher percentage of top grades than England. Winning this | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
language it is less positive. They may take a look at the drop in | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
numbers taking foreign-language is an Welsh. These are long-standing | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
trends for the languages. One of the concerns is whether we are seeing | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
reduced opportunities to study languages. If there are fewer | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
schools offering land which is it becomes more of a spiral downwards. | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
As well as A-level results, a S results and baccalaureate results | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
were out and up on last year. With only a few envelopes left both | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
students know what grades they have got under looking ahead. But for | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
those concerned with the all Wales picture the drop in top grades will | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
be of concern. As well as that stubborn gap between performance in | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Wales and the rest of the UK. As in Wales the overall pass rate state | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
the same across the UK. The percentage of top grades was | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
slightly down. While many would argue that comparing with some | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
similar English regions is fairer only the north-east had a lower | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
percentage of top grades. His shoes for the politicians and policymakers | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
but for students the focus now is on the next step. | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
Bethan is at the University of South Wales in Treforest this evening. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Bethan, how concerned should we be by the fall in the number | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
We are not talking here about huge percentage drops and you could see | :04:47. | :04:59. | |
it as part of the ups and downs you get over the years but it is of | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
concern and the Welsh Government will see it as a concern because | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
they have talked about in improving system and it is nothing to address | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
the gap that exists in performance between Wales and other parts of the | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
UK. It has been a busy morning in loss of schools across Wales and its | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
still busy here at the clearing centre at the University of South | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Wales. Helen like Dennis the Deputy Vice Chancellor. How important is | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
clearing for you? Clearing is important for all universities. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Every university in Wales is in clearing and every university in the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
UK is in clearing. It is big business at hundreds of courses and | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
lots of opportunities. We have been really busy and the phones have been | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
ringing. You can ring until 7am tonight. You can go on Twitter and | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
Facebook. It has been really busy time. And lots of competition | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
between universities. There is some competition but it's about the right | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
students choosing the right course at the right university for them. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
Joanne Harris from careers Wales. What are the other options? We | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
advertise apprenticeships, there is Jobs Growth Wales vacancies. If | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
somebody wants to give us a ring we can talk about gap years, | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
internships, volunteering, alternative qualifications, distance | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
learning or professional qualifications. Things like | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
apprenticeships are a valuable now? Definitely. The important thing is | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
is not to drag your feet and get out there and do your research. Thank | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
you both. Some people still have big decisions to make but at least the | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
nervous wait for those results is over. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
To the Olympics now and Kate Morgan is here with the very latest on how | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
Welsh athletes are faring and Kate, has Hannah Mills got her hands | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
Yes, finally, Wales' Hannah Mills has officially claimed a gold medal | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
in the sailing after the 4-70 event was postponed yesterday | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
She and her partner, Saskia Clarke, held a 20 point lead | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
in the run up to the final, which they just needed | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
A few moments ago, Hannah spoke to the BBC's Shirley Robertson. | :07:17. | :07:26. | |
Finally we can say they are the 2016 Olympics champions. I cant believe | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
its! It actually happened. It's the best feeling ever. Four years ago it | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
was agonising watching you lose gold and walk away with silver. This | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
moment now, does it make you forget about London? Right now, absolutely. | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
We are so proud to have come back and we have worked so hard. It is | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
all we have ever dreamt of. We are so proud. Thank you to everyone at | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
home for all the support. I am sure they are cheering in Wales and Essex | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
but a word about the partnership. You are so close in so anyways but | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
to finally get the chance to stand on that top step. It's going to be | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
so great. All eyes turn now to Jade Jones | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
who won Taekwondo Gold at 2012. She's hoping to defend her title | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
at the Olympic Park this evening. In a moment, we'll speak | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
to Matthew Richards who's with her friends and family | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
watching at home in Flint, Jade Jones has already been | :08:36. | :08:50. | |
competing this morning. She is safely through to the last eight. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
She is now three boats away from gold. Earlier today I spoke to her | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
grandfather who told me she seemed quite nervous this morning. For | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
everybody else watching it was just a very convincing performance. The | :09:09. | :09:18. | |
top seed seemed in top form today. A dominant display by Jade Jones and | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
she is now safely through to the quarterfinals. It was just about how | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
good that lady was. The aim is simply for this girl is to repeat | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
the success of 2012 when the unknown 19-year-old became a shock win at | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
the London games. I gave it everything I had and every time I | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
was waking up it was for London and when I won it was unbelievable. I | :09:45. | :09:54. | |
was a bit lost after it but now I am back on my feet again and hungry to | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
win this next title. Thrown into the limelight she struggled with form in | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
the aftermath of her Olympic win. There was disappointment that the | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
World Championships the following year, a back injury frustrated her, | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
but she admitted herself she had fallen out of love with the sport. | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
But now she is firmly back at the top of her game and is favourite to | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
top the podium tonight. And for grandad, the man who inspired her to | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
take up the sport, once again it is a proud moment. There is a lot more | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
pressure on her this time. In 2012 she was virtually unknown. Now | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
everybody knows her. She is ranked world number one. Four years ago | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
Jade Jones flung her helmet into the air in delight as she was crowned | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
Olympic champion. Expect similar scenes if she retains the Crown in | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
Rio. In just under an hour's time she will fight again and she is up | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
against quite a tough competitor. A bronze medallist at the European | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Championships last year. But the feisty Flintshire Cup assures us she | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
is hungry for more success and if she does get to that final tomorrow | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
morning, so you better keep watching. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
Now you might remember the celebrations in Flint | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
Crowds turned out in their thousands to cheer her home as she took | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
an open top bus tour through the town. | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
Well Flint is right behind her again this evening. | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
Matthew Richards is with Jade's friends and family. | :11:38. | :11:47. | |
There is no mistaking that Flint is her town. The leisure centre has | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
been renamed after her and the gold postbox still stands proudly in the | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
town centre. How are you feeling after seeing her today? It was the | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
best I have seen her for years. She has got through. Onto the next one | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
and I hope she goes through again. Is it nerve wracking? I cant explain | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
it. You have made her promise to make sure you watch every game? Yes | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
and we will see her if she gets to the final. It must be amazing to see | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
so many people out there supporting. It's great to see everybody | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
screaming for her. I wish you a good night tonight. You were one of her | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
first teachers and you introduced a lot of youngsters here to taekwondo. | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
What is so special about her? From the word go she showed promise and | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
she started competing and there was no stopping her. She had a lot of | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
support from the family. Some of this lot will hopefully be doing the | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
same. Are these the people who have been inspired by you? Very much so. | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
They have all seen Jade Jones. Just described her style. Why is the -- | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
is she so good? Fantastic focus. Amazing head kicks as you saw in the | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
head -- in the fight earlier. Dedication and termination. Everyone | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
is behind his ear. So Lucy, a long night ahead before | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
we know if Jade can make history Her next bout is at 7.30pm, so stay | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
tuned to the BBC's Olympic coverage. Hospital emergency departments | :13:37. | :13:47. | |
are still failing to meet Welsh Government | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
waiting time targets. Figures for July show just over 82% | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
of patients waited less than four hours before being admitted, | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
transferred or discharged. But fewer patients waited longer | :13:55. | :13:55. | |
than the maximum 12 hours. The Welsh Government says it knows | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
there's more work to be done. 75 jobs are to be lost at Nant Helen | :14:01. | :14:10. | |
opencast mine in Powys. Its owners, Celtic Energy, | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
say they're mothballing the mine for two years | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
because Aberthaw Power Station in the Vale of Glamorgan | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
is downgrading its operation It was work as usual for those at | :14:18. | :14:36. | |
the Nant Helen site today. But shortly many will look for work | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
elsewhere as the majority face redundancies with around 30 taking | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
involuntary. We are working with Celtic energy and other employers | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
specifically at Hinkley point, because they were require some | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
construction workers. Aberthaw Power Station is powered by coal. 500,000 | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
tonnes of which comes from the Nant Helen site each year. Following the | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
decision by the power stations on burn coal until April next year it | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
has a big pact on its supplier. But the Chief Executive of Celtic energy | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
believes Nant Helen can the operational again in the future. | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
There is continuing domestic demand for coal. Obviously we are looking | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
at markets overseas where it is economically viable. Nant Helen is | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
not the first site in this area to be mothballed. In October last year | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
Celtic energy took the same decision over its other site near Glyn Neath | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
and other coal mines in the area have also suffered a similar fate. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
As coal mining in south Wales continues its long decline. Some may | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
be struggling but other opencast sites in Wales continue their | :15:51. | :15:51. | |
operations despite opposition from some corners. This was the scene at | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
force of rant in May as protesters tried to halt operations. It | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
reflects the continuous change in attitudes towards the use of coal. | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
We are seeing the final days of the coal industry in Wales and we need | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
to prepare for new jobs in these communities and for a cleaner | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
future. However others believe they can be a future for coal. Back in | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
the 1970s we were talking about clean coal technology then. We never | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
invested in it but it's never too late. We should be looking at it | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
seriously. I am a big supporter of renewable energy. I am not so keen | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
on nuclear. I think that is a role for coal. For now uncertainty | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
remains as to whether coal extraction in Wales will be soon | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
stopped for good. Still to come in the programme: | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
After a worldwide search to run a million pound farm for just | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
a pound in rent, And the aviation poem still quoted | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
by pilots 75 years after it was More than 400,000 people | :16:56. | :17:08. | |
travelled to see live music performances in Wales last year, | :17:09. | :17:23. | |
double the number Big concerts like One Direction | :17:24. | :17:24. | |
in Cardiff helped, as did the rise of festivals like Greenman | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
in the Brecon Beacons. Paul Heaney reports | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
on an industry now worth Part of an industry | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
that's on the rise. Organisers of the Greenman Festival | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
sold tickets to allow people to camp here for the days before the main | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
stage opened this morning. The hope is they spend many | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
with local businesses. We spend money in Crickhowell | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
and buy goods and bits and pieces. We also have a butcher that comes | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
in and we have bought bits and pieces from him and today | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
we have just been up onto the canal Have you been out | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
and about in the area? We have done things like that | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
previous years but this year we have Fans like this who travel more | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
than 37 miles to a performance The group which lobbies | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
for the industry, UK Music, says there were 400,000 | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
of them in Wales last year, A small part though of a ?2 billion | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
tourist industry in Wales. Cardiff accounts for most | :18:31. | :18:40. | |
of that music related cash. Sell-out concerts by Beyonce, | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
One Direction and others. I definitely think it | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
is a growing industry. We encourage people to come and try | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
new things and taste new things. Highlighting the integration | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
of the tourism industry with the food and agricultural | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
producers of an area. All that is where there | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
are real elements to play. Back in the Brecon Beacons local | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
pubs tell me they are We have a bit of noise and a bit | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
of extra traffic but everybody grins If it's a bit wet we do a bit | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
of business as well. But the activity-based businesses | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
further afield have a Perhaps people are not quite aware | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
of it all yet maybe, but I haven't noticed any increase | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
in business at all yet. Many of the suppliers | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
to the festival are local. This one providing the beer | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
for 25,000 people. We will expand our | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
business based on this. Still a small part of the tourist | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
industry, the value of changing people's perception of Wales | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
and its industries, harder to count. Now when we brought you news | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
of the offer back in May it probably A million pound farm up for grabs | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
for rent of just one pound a year. It was for Parc Farm | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
on the Great Orme near Llandudno Not surprisingly hundreds applied, | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
and now the new tenant Dan, Kerry and Evan Jones and a view | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
of what will soon be their new home. They will pick up the keys | :20:16. | :20:27. | |
at the end of next month. Tucked in behind the Great Orme | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
summit, Park Farm is a special place and of course there is a catch | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
in the ?1 a year rent. It will have to be managed in a way | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
that puts nature first. There are some typical areas | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
here that have not been grazed oenough and some areas that have | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
been grazed too much so that is something we will look | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
at and try to improve. There is a 10-year plan to reverse | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
a decline in flora and fauna. If I'm honest, if it wasn't | :20:59. | :21:03. | |

the livestock as conservation grazing tools rather than primarily | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
for profitable farming production. The ?1 rent allows us | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
to do that so we can From breeding pairs of chough | :21:21. | :21:24. | |

with a range of wildlife. And then there are the | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
two legged visitors. This shepherd's life | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
will be far from lonely. With the farm there are grazing | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
rights for outside the walls of the farm so that is one | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
of the main roles I will have. We want to get more people to come | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
out and enjoy the Orme and explore more of the Great Orme and the park | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
itself and we are aiming to educate people in what we're doing and why | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
we're doing it and showing them that conservation and modern-day farming | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
can hopefully work together. Wildlife, tourists and a measure | :22:07. | :22:10. | |

actors, even astronauts. High Flight is an aviation poem, | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
written by an American spitfire pilot 75 years ago today, at RAF | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Llandow in the Vale of Glamorgan. The poem, by John Gillespie Magee | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
Junior, is a favourite with aviators all over the world and today | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
a service was held at RAF St Athan I have slept the bonds of earth and | :22:38. | :22:58. | |
dance the skies on laughter Silver wings. I have climbed and joined the | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
clouds and at an you have not trained. The words of John Gillespie | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
Magee Junior, unknown -- and is known by aviators around the world. | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
His poem is often read at military funerals and was quoted by President | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Reagan after the Challenger space shuttle disaster in 1986 in which | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
all seven crew members died. We will never forget them nor the last time | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
we saw them this morning as they prepared for their journey and waved | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
goodbye and slipped to the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of | :23:38. | :23:42. | |

sent it to his parents in Washington. Just a few months later | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
he died in a flying accident over Lincolnshire. Today his younger | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
brother, now in its early 90s, read the poem at the commemoration | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
service. All I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
skies on laughter Silver wings. One reason the poem as had such an | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
appeal is it could only have been written by a pilot because he talks | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
about things people would not be able to talk about if they had not | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
flown. It has meant so much to so many people have been pilots or | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
astronauts. It was also recited in several countries around the world | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
today, including China, Australia, Canada and the US. In America his | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
biographer has recited it for us in front of his parents house. It was | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
where they received the poem for the first time. John Gillespie Magee | :24:59. | :25:09. | |
Junior's family will hope the poem comforts all those who takes to the | :25:10. | :25:10. | |

Derek's here with the weather. It's relatively calm at the moment | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
but we're in for a big change with some bumpy flying conditions | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
on the way. This mass of cloud over the Atlantic | :25:19. | :25:20. | |
is going to bring a taste Rain, heavy showers and strong | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
to gale force winds. At the moment most | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
places dry this evening. But rain will arrive | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
during the early hours. The breeze picking-up | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
in the south west. The rain heavy in places with | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
a south to south easterly breeze. Brisk and gusty winds | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
in Pembrokeshire. During the afternoon it will dry | :25:49. | :25:49. | |
and brighten-up from the south. The sun will come out | :25:50. | :26:08. | |
but with heavy showers by teatime Strong and gusty winds | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
in the south west. In Flintshire tomorrow, | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
rain and breezy. It should dry and brighten-up | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
later in the afternoon. In Bridgend tomorrow, | :26:23. | :26:24. | |

showers will spread across Wales. A breezy and windy night, | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
especially on the coast. The chart for Saturday shows a deep | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
low pressure over Northern Ireland. Not what you'd expect | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
to see in August. There is a yellow warning of strong | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
to gale force winds in the south and west | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
with large waves on the coast. A few bright or sunny intervals | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
but lots of heavy showers. Thunder possible and | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
unseasonably windy. Gusts of 50mph to 60mph on exposed | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
coasts in the south and west On Sunday the wind and showers | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
will gradually ease. Dry and brighter for | :27:10. | :27:17. | |
a while but more rain on the way. So some poor, disappointing weather | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
this weekend but bigger waves We're back after the | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
