Welcome to BBC Channel Islands on Thursday the second of March. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Specialist help for young victims of abuse. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Jersey invests in a creative way to help youngsters overcome | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
The people who have gone through the service has said they feel that they | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
can sleep better, that they are less anxious, less angry. They are not | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
displaying negative behaviours. They are able to come to terms with what | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
has happened to them. with a big increase of high earning | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
civil servants should Guernsey States get rid | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
of automatic pay increases? Homes needed - do you have what it | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
takes to become a foster parent? Children who are sexually abused | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
in Jersey will get access to specialist therapy, | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
under a new scheme by Health It's the first time this service | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
will be delivered in the island, where nearly 200 cases of child sex | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
abuse have been reported The States are providing | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
?50,000 a year to fund a social worker specially trained | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
to help victims. but these activities of painting, | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
story-telling and creative play helping young victims | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
of sexual abuse. They're run in the UK by the charity | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
the NSPCC, and now they're | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
being introduced in Jersey. The one-to-one creative sessions | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
are to help victims come to terms They may feel anxious, they may | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
display negative behaviours, they may also hold a lot of anger, | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
but children and young people who go through the Letting The Future In | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
courses learn to manage So their mood has got better, | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
they've told us they've been able to sleep better, | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
that they've not felt so aggressive. And it's a service that's | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
needed in the island. There were 54 cases | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
of sexual abuse of under-18s In the years since, | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
the number's grown to around 70. That's a similar rate to the UK | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
when compared with population size. The service is being | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
funded by the Health and Social Services Department - | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
?50,000 a year for With the findings of the inquiry | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
into Jersey's care services due out this month, was that what prompted | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
this new investment? I guess it was the catalyst | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
to some extent. All of this has been partly | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
about what we learnt reading the transcripts, | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
listening to the inquiry. Rather than wait until the inquiry | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
gives us their recommendations, we wanted to provide | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
a better environment But before that, the department | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
faces the issue of hiring a specialist social worker - | :02:51. | :03:00. | |
a sector that Jersey's previously A Former Director of Guernsey's | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
Health and Social Care Services has been struck off by the Nursing | :03:03. | :03:12. | |
and Midwifery Council, following the death of a baby | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
at the island's maternity ward Jacqueline Gallienne worked at | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
the Princess Elizabeth Hospital including failing to ensure | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
adequate standard of care, and safe delivery of | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
maternity services. The panel found these failings | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
put patients at risk. Guernsey's Health and Social Care | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Committee has responded saying substantial changes have been made | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
in midwifery practices A code of conduct complaint made | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
against three senior politicians The three deputies - | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
Lyndon Trott, Mary Lowe and Paul Le Pelley - | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
were accused of suggesting that Deputy Marc Leadbeater could not | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
carry out his political responsibilities because | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
he has a disabled son. The new chairwoman of | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
the States Members' Conduct Panel - who has been in post for less | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
than two days - says she's not satisfied there is sufficient | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
evidence to support the complaints. A forensic medical examiner has told | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
an attempted murder trial that if the victim's neck wound had been | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
any deeper he would have died. Gerard Eamon Maguire denies | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
the attempted murder of his friend Shaun Patrick Howard in the early | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
hours of October the 30th Dr Virginia French told | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
the Royal Court had Mr Howard's neck wound been deeper, | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
he would not have "There's no such thing | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
as an automatic pay rise". That's according to the head | :04:37. | :04:49. | |
of a union representing It follows claims by the island's | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
top politician that the States could save money by removing | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
an automatic pay rise for employees. There are around 5,000 people | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
working for the States of Guernsey. The island's most senior politician | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
claims the States could save money by removing an automatic pay rise | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
for civil servants. But the local civil servants | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
association of Guernsey says "there's no such thing | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
as an automatic pay rise". A job will be evaluated and it will | :05:20. | :05:34. | |
be determined that the rate of that job it is, say, ?27,000 a year and | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
what they do within the states is scaled back three or four implements | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
backwards and so a new starter coming into that post will be | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
started on ?25,000 per year and what will happen is over the years, as | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
they gain knowledge and experience and qualifications, they will work | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
their way up through steps back up to that ?27,000. | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
The chief executive of the state has spent more than ?240 million on | :06:02. | :06:02. | |
starting in 2015. He says pay rises have | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
already been reigned in. Pay rises have been substantially | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
controlled across the public sector and we have seen more two-year pay | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
deals, which in real terms they have not been the increases as such. | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
But when it's public money it's an issue that'll always be close | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
E petitions could be introduced in Jersey - | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
allowing people to have more of a say in the issues | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
It's being suggested that online petitions could force | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
a States debate if it attracting enough signatures. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
The system is popular in the UK - where recently more than a million | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
people opposed a State Visit by the American President | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
but in Jersey it's thought it could make politics | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
I think we've seen a number of things recently in the Galaxy S4 we | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
have talked about herself and it has not about the wider public of | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Jersey. We are as guilty of doing it as anyone else. If the people of | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
Jersey are passionate and want us to be talking about something, that is | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
what we are there to do. There's a drive to recruit more | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
foster carers in Guernsey. The Family Placement Service says | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
having a bigger pool of people to choose from helps make sure | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
the most suitable home can be found. It's been holding drop in sessions | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
at Beau Sejour today. We've spoken to those | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
involved in fostering. Some families struggle to cope. They | :07:24. | :07:41. | |
have a lot of pressures on them. Sometimes they are in poverty and | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
health problems with substance misuse. Children come into foster | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
care for a number of reasons and with that, they bring a lot of | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
anxiety. They may bring some behaviours that foster carers need | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
to understand and learn to deal with. The positive thing is | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
fostering can really help children overcome some of those difficulties. | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
There were a few challenges to begin with. But surprisingly, he settles | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
very quick. To watch that child develop and become more confident, | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
more outgoing, we are really enjoying it. It is really good fun. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
And he really makes you smile everyday. I think the people need to | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
really care about children and be interested in their welfare. They | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
need to be kind and thoughtful. They don't need to be perfect. They need | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
to understand where a child is coming from and I think you have got | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
to have a genuine, kind of, care and thought that things can get better | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
for a child. If you are sitting on the fence, you have been thinking | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
about it, as I had, for a very long time, you will not regret it. It is | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
massively rewarding. It is just wonderful. We enjoy it so much. And | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
wished we had done it earlier! Now you may have seen fictional | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
characters come to life across the Channel Islands today - | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
that is of course And you've been sending | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
in your characters. Here's Beatrice dressed | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
as Betty O'Barley Winter spent today as "Crazy Dave" | :09:10. | :09:10. | |
from Plants vs Zombies - Lacey went with an animal theme | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
for 101 D almations - where Poppy went with an aqua theme | :09:18. | :09:30. | |
for the Singing Mermaid. And here's the whole | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
of Les Landes primary school enjoying World Book Day - | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
and even some of the staff joined in the fun as Snow White | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
and Mrs Trunchbull from Matilda. I was trying to think | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
who you could have been, David, I came up with Raymond | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Briggs' Snowman. I love your costume, by the way, | :09:46. | :09:58. | |
that is brilliant! Lets have a look at the forecast for the next couple | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
of days. We are going to see lots of rain in the forecast. Welcome for | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
some. I am sure the reservoirs will appreciate some rain, but if you are | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
out and about not to welcome at all. Rather cloudy. Some showers, if not | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
longer spells of rain. A little but milder if you're out working in the | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
feel. Temperatures a little higher than they have of cloud on the | :10:17. | :10:39. | |
sideline, two land is approaching. One will merge with the other and | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
these two combined to form an area of low pressure eventually. As one | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
line of rain comes up from the south and develops into an area of low | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
pressure, sat pretty close by for Friday and whistles on Saturday as | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
well. Saturday, I think, will see some sunshine and a few showers | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
dotted around. Not many this evening but later on tonight," and from the | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
side. That is already apparent across northern part of France. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
Producing outbreaks of rain as a whole lot will move northwards. Try | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
for a time, increasingly cloudy and later on this evening, the wet | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
weather will turn up. Accompanying that, strong south-easterly winds | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
and overnight temperatures no lower than 6 degrees. Spots of rain in the | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
morning tomorrow, briefly some brightness, maybe a few walls and | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
the cloud to let the sunshine in every now and again. Later in the | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
day, the showers will return. 11 or 12 degrees will be maximum | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
temperature and brisk winds from the south and south-west. Using with the | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
second half of the day. They are as our times of high water. And for our | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
showers, most of the beaches protected from a cyber | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
south-easterly wind will actually be clean, so not too bad. When the | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
southerly, eventually veering south westerly. Degreasing four, rain at | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
times, moderate disability. That is the forecast as the two Saturday and | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
sunny. A few showers dotted around, brisk winds from the West and those | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
showers likely to be quite heavy. Temperatures holding up, perhaps a | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
little bit holder at night-time, funding made and also Monday night, | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
as the showers tend to fade when you get some clear skies. On the whole, | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
and unsettled picture for the next four or five days and that unsettled | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
theme continues into the early part of next week. Alison. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
David, thank you ever much. That is it from the team in the Channel | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
Islands. I will leave you with Spotlight. | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Official figures show its risen for the third year in a row. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
And it appears people from Plymouth are dumping | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
their rubbish in Cornwall - evidence found in the waste has | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
sparked an investigation which Cornwall Council hopes | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
will end in prosecution and a heavy fine. | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
Throughout the year thousands of people across the Tamar to seek out | :12:36. | :12:50. | |
those hidden corners of Cornwall which promise natural beauty and | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
tranquillity. Others are doing it to dump rubbish illegally. I think it's | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
disgusting. Someone has taken the rubbish and just dump it in an area | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
of outstanding natural beauty and its utter laziness. Dumped along the | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
coast road is a spoil which holds hidden treasures. The sort of James | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
which Cornwall Council investigators delight in finding. A letterhead, | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
maybe a bill, certainly evidence revealing it has come from an | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
address in Plymouth. I feel even sadder that someone has taken the | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
time to drive out from Plymouth, find somewhere secluded and this was | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
tipped during the night we believe. There are recycling centres in | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
Plymouth as well as the one they virtually drove past in Saltash. The | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
audacity of the act has sparked anger. It is appalling. They could | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
go to a municipal tip or get rid of it in the proper way, I don't see | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
why they have to come over the border and do it here. It makes me | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
wonder if they have the facilities to get rid of it in Devon, to make | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
that ever to come over the border into Cornwall to do it. People | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
travel a long way to save a bit of money, that is why they are | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
criminals, they are commercial, they are thieves, stealing from the | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
public purse and every single council taxpayer because those | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
things have to be cleared up. In a statement Cornwall Council says it | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
is not only unsightly but costs the council thousands of pounds each | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
year to clear up the mess. We will continue to respond, investigate and | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
where evidence is found we will take appropriate enforcement action. Once | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
cherished, now discarded by the roadside. There would have been no | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
charge to take these toys to the tip. | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
A commercial recycling waste centre faces demolition tonight | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
after being severely damaged by fire. | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
At its peak a hundred firefighters tackled the blaze | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
All the ingredients needed for a devastating fire, paper, cardboard, | :14:56. | :15:10. | |
plastic, each week hundreds of tonnes of business waste came to | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
this recycling plant. Tucked away on one side, an electricity substation, | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
one of three helping power the industrial estate. Little wonder the | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
emergency services were not taking any chances. At its height it was | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
approximately about 100 firefighters, three hydraulic | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
platforms, and support appliances. The alarm was raised just before 11 | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
o'clock last night, the intense heat caused the steel panel building to | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
collapse in on itself as it is designed to do. But it meant | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
hotspots kept flaring up. It is well over 12 hours but there are still | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
pockets of flames are popping up in and around the building. The area | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
was blanketed in smoke but the owners of the plant, on-site for | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
five years, said it did not deal hazardous waste. Only office type | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
waste, we do not deal with hazardous waste here. Any hazardous waste goes | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
to other places. But yes, General office recycling, paper, cardboard, | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
plastics, whatever. The damage has been put out millions but nobody was | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
hurt and the 90 or so staff will work from other sites. A 15 strong | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
fleet of waste trucks was saved, this one had to be pulled free by a | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
recovery truck with an uncompromising name. Another | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
building in Exeter destroyed by fire. | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
The Environment Agency says erosion at Dawlish Warren has worsened | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
since it began its multi million pound scheme to improve coastal | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
But it says the beach should return to its former glory by the end | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
of the summer and be less vulnerable to rising sea levels and storms. | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell reports | :17:03. | :17:03. | |
Dawlish Warren is not looking at its best at the moment. In fact some | :17:04. | :17:19. | |
local people say it has never looked worse. That's not surprising because | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
the Environment Agency is only part way through a multi-million pound | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
project to secure the long-term future of the area. The aim of the | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
agency and its partners is to protect it from sea-level level | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
rising and potentially splitting in two. Eileen has been keeping a close | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
eye on progress. I wondered what they were doing, sandbags, stones, | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
rocks. We always said if they moved the stones they would lose the Junes | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
which they found they had done which is why we have sandbags up. They | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
have been taking these baskets full of rocks and replacing them with | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
bags full of sand. In the end they aim to reach the beast level. | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
Whether Junes are at their most vulnerable and narrow the aim is to | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
stabilise the sand with what experts College YouTube. It's about like a | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
giant sausage fed deep into the sea facing edge of the Warren and | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
inflated with a mix of sand and water. The water fades away to leave | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
a concrete like structure. For now the Environment Agency are still | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
persuading people it is doing the right thing. Other than extra sand? | :18:32. | :18:41. | |
Recent storms, in recent years, more than a thousand cubic metres of sand | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
have been lost in the last 18 months. Sand levels dropping by a | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
metre in all the last few weeks so at the moment visitors will see it | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
at its worst. The white bags people see our temporary, they are coming | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
out in the next couple of months as we remove the old stones and | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
subsequently replace a large amount of sand. The Environment Agency says | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
by some things should look much better at Dawlish Warren. It plans | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
to import huge quantities of sand from just off shore to recharge the | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
beach and then natural forces will be harnessed to help protect the | :19:17. | :19:17. | |
sand dunes. Children from across the South West | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
have been dressing up in their favourite characters | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
to take part in The day's aimed at encouraging | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
youngsters to explore books and reading - | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
it's also a celebration of authors and illustrators | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
and children have been given a free Jane Chandler joined | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
a group of children - as they marched into their local | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
bookshop dressed for bedtime. Let us step into the night and | :19:38. | :19:52. | |
pursue that flighty temptress, adventure. It does not do to leave | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
alive dragon out of your calculations if you live near him. | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
Sometimes I believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast. | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
The world of books is full of all things possible, even wearing your | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
bed clothes during the day. These children have dressed up to get in | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
the mood for reading to celebrate world book day. But why do they | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
read? I read at night when I am in bed and cannot sleep. When you first | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
read a book you just read it and when you get to the end you feel you | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
have an achievement. They are very exciting and I get stuck into them. | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
If you finish a book then you feel like you want to do another because | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
I like this book and it makes you want to read and read and read. We | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
may think these youngsters are a techno generation but they are more | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
retro, preparing to read books rather than from a computer or | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
tablet. There has been research recently that children are moving | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
away from tablets and re-engaging with a book particularly at bedtime | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
when is thought the blue light from the tablet is not such a good thing. | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
A recent study by the National literacy trust shows more children | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
and young people than ever are now reading for enjoyment. Evidence | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
suggests youngsters who read for one day lead to better in reading tests, | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
have broader vocabulary and better general knowledge. All very good | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
reasons to snuggle down with a book at bedtime. Part of what we believe | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
is that reading before bed can reduce anxiety, it's a lovely way to | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
go off to sleep and it's the perfect time to get kids to sneak 30 minutes | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
of reading in. I like to read at bedtime and of course in school. I | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
read every night, like half an hour in the evening, just before I go to | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
sleep. What makes you want to do that? It comes me down before I go | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
to bed. Or you cannot help that, said the cat, we are all mad here. | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
So come snow after fire and even dragons have their endings. | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
Excerpts from J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. | :22:23. | :22:23. | |

Nothing like a good book. A book at bedtime. Let's see what the | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
weather's story is tonight. The storm cat is coming, if you know | :22:33. | :22:44. | |
that story. Good evening, blustery conditions, rain in the forecast as | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
well. I think tomorrow it's a different day, sunshine today, a few | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
isolated showers, most of us dry. Tomorrow rather cloudy, it will be a | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
bit milder, there will be rain at times and some of it quite heavy. It | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
will arrive overnight tonight and be with us for a good part of the day. | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
This is why, this area of low pressure, weather fronts wrapped | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
around it which means more rain as we move through the day. Perhaps | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
drier conditions on Saturday although the risk of showers and | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
more rain returning on Sunday as this weather front moves across the | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
south-west of England. Also becoming windy on Sunday with the winds | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
becoming north-westerly again. Drawing in slightly colder air, | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
avail of cloud has arrived and thicker cloud approaching from the | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
South which will produce more persistent rain. For a time dry and | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
then here comes the wet weather, around midnight or just after we | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
will get a bit of rain as it moves through, turning showery by morning | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
and with all the cloud and breeze from the Southeast I don't think | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
temperatures will fall much below 67 degrees. Tomorrow we have a rather | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
cloudy day, rather wet day, I of rain off and on throughout the | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
morning, perhaps briefly at lunchtime holes in the cloud but not | :24:04. | :24:13. | |
a great deal of that to look forward to, the rain returns to the | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
afternoon. The breeze will be lively in the morning and ease in the | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
afternoon. Some good news, temperature slightly higher than | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
they have been despite the rain. This is the forecast for the Isles | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
of Scilly. Cloud, breezy and outbreaks of rain. Time is of high | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
water for the ports and harbours. For the surfers, most of the beach | :24:38. | :24:56. | |
is likely to be a bit messy, particularly along the south coast. | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
The north Coast some sheltered areas which could be usable but still | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
quite big waves, between four and eight feet depending on which way | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
the beach faces. The winds quite gusty, from the South South West, | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
rain at times with moderate to good visibility. The outlook is for us to | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
see showers on Saturday and Sunday and some of them also quite heavy. | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
Not a lot of cheer in the forecast and notice the temperatures, we | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
start at 11 on Friday but by Monday and Tuesday of next week back down | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
to seven or eight so despite the fact we are into spring temperatures | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
are not responding. Just a little bit of sunshine does help things. | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
You have been seeing all these weather pictures and if you want to | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
get involved in the programme there is a website you can go to. BBC .co | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
.uk/ weather watchers. And to those already involved, thank you for your | :26:00. | :26:01. | |
pictures. And on World Book day that's | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
where our story draws to a close. But we'll leave you with some | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
