Welcome to Look East. Tonight: The region's newest wind farm opens | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
providing power for nearly 250,000 homes. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
18 years in jail for the gang which stole this jade from the | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Fitzwilliam Museum. Hundreds of mourners remember a | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
teenager killed at a party in Essex. And the man wrongly diagnosed with | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
:00:39. | :00:41. | ||
heart failure and then offered Hello, first tonight, the opening | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
of the region's newest wind farm. It is called Sheringham Shoal and | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
it is ten miles out to sea, off the coast of Norfolk. We now have four | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
wind farms around our coast. This latest one has cost about �1 | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
billion to build, has 88 turbines, and they claim it will produce | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
:01:08. | :01:09. | ||
enough power for nearly 250,000 homes. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
It is the latest Forest of turbines to spring up off our coast, | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Sheringham Shoal is a serious leak big wind farm. 88 turbines, each | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
more than three times the height of Nelson's Column. Construction | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
involved pioneering techniques and took three years, both offshore and | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
onshore. And today, the Crown Prince of Norway officially opened | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
the wind farm. This wind farm has a capacity of 370 megawatts and over | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
a year it can produce electricity equal to 220,000 British households. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
The wind farm is being launched at a very posh address. Like this | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
place, it cost a fortune to build, �1 billion. It is the latest in a | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
string of wind farms now lining our coast. | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
First in 2004 there was scrapie Sanz, then another off Clacton, and | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
another completed later this year, the biggest so far, and now | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Sheringham Shoal. London Array off Essex will be completed soon and in | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
three years, work should start on the giant East Anglia wind farm. | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
Of all the offshore wind we have planned for the whole of the United | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Kingdom, two-thirds of it approximately is off the coast of | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
south-east England. Sheringham Shoal is owned by Norway and most | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
of its components were made abroad. The turbines came from Denmark. But | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
the local economy has benefitted. This local taxi driver got the job | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
of bringing wind farm personnel from Heathrow and Stansted and to | :02:56. | :03:05. | |
the site. It has doubled my business. The work I cannot do I | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
pass on to other local taxes. farm workers have also been staying | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
in local hotels. The timing of the wind farm could not have been | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
better. As we saw in the tourist economy, we are seeing this rise in | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
the money that is spent with us, the wind farmers and the | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
specialists they bring in. Critics say offshore wind is expensive and | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
unreliable but the region's four wind farms now have the capacity to | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
power 800,000 homes. Well, the Energy Secretary, Ed Davey, was in | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Holkham for the official opening of Sheringham Shoal today. I spoke to | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
him earlier and began by asking him whether he was disappointed that | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
the project was Norwegian owned and that the vast majority of | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
components had been made abroad. I think Sheringham Shoal is very | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
exciting for this region. I think we have seen 700 jobs in the | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
construction, 50 permanent jobs, �1 billion of investment and yes, it | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
is a partnership with Norwegian colleagues but that is great. We | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
have had a long-standing relationship with Norway with oil | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
and gas and we are now renewing that with renewables. But when | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
David Cameron visited Corby last week, he visited steelworkers are | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
there and they told him directly they had the expertise, they are | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
frustrated, disappointed that they did not get a look-in on this. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
believe we need to improve the supply chain, the number of | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
factories here in the UK, and we are working very hard. I am working | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
with Vince Cable, the Secretary of State for Business, to make sure we | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
can attract major investments in the UK for the factories that use | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
the steel, that use these huge wind turbines, the gear boxes and the | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
ships that take them out. We have had some success. For example in | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
Great Yarmouth we have a success story. So I think we have some way | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
to go but this is a good example of the green economy, and green jobs | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
which are creating growth. Is it value for taxpayers' money, they? | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Sheringham Shoal will receive hundreds of millions of pounds of | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Government subsidies yet wind power itself is expensive and it is also | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
pretty hit-and-miss, isn't it? Actually, wind power is a really | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
important part of our electricity supply already. We are seeing -- | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
seemed over 10% of renewables with the wind the major part of that and | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
I have been working with the offshore wind industry and they are | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
coming up with some concrete, hard proposals to reduce costs by a | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
third by the end of the decade, so this is really good news because it | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
is a green industry that Britain is leading the world in and we will | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
need to see many more Sheringham Shoals to make sure we have secured | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
and clean energy. Thank you. You can see more on the subject of | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
renewable energy in our region in the Sunday Politics show. That is | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
BBC1, 11pm on Sunday. Three men and a 16 year-old boy | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
have been sent to prison for a total of 18 years after Chinese | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
jade valued at millions of pounds was stolen from a museum in | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Cambridge. It is thought the pieces were stolen to order, and they are | :06:34. | :06:43. | |
still missing. Today they were jailed, a gang of | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
four, here moments before breaking in. They were hired for the job. A | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
teenage boy and three men. Among them, Robert Smith and this man. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Both travellers, sentenced to six years. The judge said the men who | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
carried out the burglary at the criminal talent to do it but what | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
they did was cultural vandalism, handling items of great value | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
casually, recklessly and with indifference. What they talk is | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
effectively lost forever, the judge said. 18 jade Chinese pieces, | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
centuries old, worth up to �50 million. Chinese artefacts sell for | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
extremely high prices say the criminals' expectation is to jump | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
on that gravy train, not to be able to realise the top volley of these | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
objects, but recognising they are important pieces. They are | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
therefore desirable and can be sold on. One of the museum's directors | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
said in his statement in court that the crime had damaged the | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
reputation of the museum. The jade was stolen to order. Any lines of | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
inquiry coming to us, I cannot discuss the detail, but they will | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
be pursued. Some pieces were probably damaged when taken, the | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
court was told. The rest will be in private collections, not to be seen | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
again for generations. There is lots more to come in the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
programme, including what tourism bosses say about next year's season. | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
And the man wrongly diagnosed with heart failure then offered �2,000 | :08:27. | :08:37. | |
:08:37. | :08:38. | ||
The funeral was held at today of Jay Whiston, the teenager from | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
Essex who was stabbed to death at a party. After the service, the | :08:42. | :08:52. | |
Methodist minister described young people who carry knives as cowards. | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
Four Black horses pulled the hearse that carried the coffin. The coffee | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
itself was a blue and painted with pictures of Jay Whiston's favourite | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
TV character, the cookie Monster. A reminder that the mourners were | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
saying goodbye to a teenager. must believe that the majority of | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
people out there are good and do not carry knives to kill. This was | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
the victim as a boy. He was said to be blossoming into a fine young man. | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
He staff three weeks ago triggered a murder investigation. -- his | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
death. He went to a party advertised on Facebook. | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
Gatecrashers turned up. Trouble flared and he was stopped. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Witnesses said he was protecting a friend. Five teenagers from | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
Colchester are still on police bail, until October 17th. The coffin was | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
carried into the chapel by friends. After the service, the Methodist | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
minister expressed dismay and anger about the prevalence of knife crime. | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
It is the second funeral for a knife victim I have taken in six | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
months. These people are feral. Let's call them who they are, | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
cowards. But even since this death there has been bought at least one | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
other stabbing in Colchester. -- there has been at least one. | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
The former leader of Essex County Council has been told to repay | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
another �37,000 or face jail again. Last year, Lord Hanningfield was | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
jailed for fiddling his parliamentary expenses. A judge has | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
:10:42. | :10:47. | ||
ordered him to pay back the money The head of a secondary school in | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Norfolk has been sacked. The county council confirmed that the head of | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Long Stratton High, Dr Paul Adams, had been dismissed for gross | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
misconduct. The council said it had been investigating management | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
problems at the school, but would not comment further. | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
Tourism businesses across the region have been in Ipswich | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
focusing on how to attract more customers in 2013. Visit East | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Anglia says it has been a challenging year. The bad weather | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
and people staying at home to watch the Olympics left some business | :11:08. | :11:18. | |
:11:18. | :11:20. | ||
takings down by more than 10 per cent. | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
The latest TV advert are being filmed on the Norfolk Broads, | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
promoting the British holiday. The tourism business has seen its | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
business growing every year. think a lot of people have seen | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
what the UK have -- has to offer. For others it has not been so good. | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
Wet weather, customers are strapped for cash and cancelled events. But | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
many are optimistic. For 2013 we had greater exposure for the UK | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
through the Olympics. We are hoping to use that word again, the legacy, | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
it will benefit the East of England, Cambridge and the rest of the UK. | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
Businesses from across the region's tourism industry have been in | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
Ipswich today discussing ways of improving the next tourism season. | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
There are 8,000 businesses involved in tourism across East Anglia. They | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
are mostly small to medium which individually do not have the | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
capacity to reach new visitors' right across the country and | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
internationally but by the organisations working together they | :12:30. | :12:40. | |
can reach those audiences. This company was one of the first to | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
advertise boating holidays on television. | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
A road junction in King's Lynn is to be altered after a series of | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
accidents at the site. The county council put up cameras to monitor | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
traffic after residents complained about the new layout in | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
Clenchwarton Road. What they filmed has made councillors decide to | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
redesign the junction. There has been a big rise in the | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
number of people using the guided busway in Cambridgeshire. New | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
figures show passenger numbers are about 40 per cent higher than | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
expected. In the first year of operation, it was used by more than | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
:13:24. | :13:26. | ||
2.5 million passengers. There has been a lot to talk about | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
in the world of football today. Progress in the Cup last night. One | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
manager being heckled in the street and a new manager taking over at | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
another club. The details of a busy day from Phil Daley. | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
It Norwich City marked the passing of their fauna -- a former manager | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
last night before their game with Spurs. Ipswich manager has revealed | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
he has been heckled in the street following their dismal start to the | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
season. He is preparing his team to face Barnsley on Saturday. He has | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
also received messages of support from former managers. I am not daft. | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
I am not everyone's cup of tea. I will do my best to try to turn | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
things around. The only way I can change people's opinions is by | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
doing this. And Colchester United unveiled the Joan Turner as their | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
new permanent manager, just three days after the sacking of John Ward. | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
The former assistant has been on the coaching staff for ten years | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
and says he could not pass up the opportunity of leading the team he | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
loves. He offered me the job and it was a simple "yes". Based on all | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
the years as a coach. I thought this was the right moment for me. I | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
did not need to think about it or anything like that. And the manager | :14:51. | :15:01. | |
:15:01. | :15:02. | ||
has wasted no time at all. Today he signed a striker from MK Dons as | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
well as two young Arsenal players. Across the BBC Today, we have been | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
talking about how the planned changes to the NHS will affect us | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
all. Our chief reporter is here to explain more in a moment. | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
One of the most controversial aims of the shake-up of the NHS by the | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
coalition is a greater role for the private sector. Victor Gardner is a | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
retired plumber from March in Cambridgeshire. He got in touch | :15:29. | :15:37. | |
about his experience with one private company. | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
Victor has enough paperwork to last him a lifetime. In March, he went | :15:42. | :15:50. | |
to his GP with breathing problems. His GP referred him to his local | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
community hospital. The investigation was carried out by a | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
private firm based in Cambridgeshire. Victor then | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
received a letter from the company telling him he had severe heart | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
failure. My initial thought is what am are going to tell my wife? I | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
felt a bit worried but I knew my wife would be even more worried. | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
Victor went on to medication for the heart problem. He had a second | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
investigation carried out by the private company, which contradicted | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
the first Test. He then had numerous appointments at NHS | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
hospitals and eventually it was confirmed he did not have a heart | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
problem at all. He asked the private company for compensation | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
and in July they offered �2,000. He was advised not to accept the offer. | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
I was so angry about what I had gone through. I think the | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
excitement of not having heart failure was not as good as you | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
would think it would be, and then I had the worry of the who is right | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
and he is wrong. Tonight Cambridgeshire Community Services | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
NHS Trust told Look East, we are aware of the complaint and | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
apologise on behalf of the company that provided the service at the | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
time of the complaint for any distress caused. We are undertaking | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
a full investigation. The private company told us, if we are in any | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
doubt following investigation, it is our duty to refer the patient on | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
for further investigation. That is what happened here. Victor feels | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
angry about all the wasted time and worry. He just wants to know what | :17:43. | :17:52. | |
went wrong. When the history of the NHS is | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
written there will be a section about the Cambridge rare MP and | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
former health secretary, Andrew Lansley. It was he who got the | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
Health and Social Care Bill through the Commons and it made him | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
unpopular with some health professionals. Over the next two | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
years the whole make-up of the NHS will be transformed. | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
For years now, we have talked about local primary care trusts and | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
:18:27. | :18:28. | ||
strategic health authorities. No In come new clinical commissioning | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
groups. They will be led by GPs. They will commission local health | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
services and together spend the lion's share of the NHS budget. At | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
national level, a new NHS Commissioning Board will oversee | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
the service and Healthwatch England is intended as a new independent | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
consumer champion. Another key feature, as we have already | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
mentioned, more competition, more services provided in the private | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
sector, though extra safeguards have been added to the legislation | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
after fierce opposition. So what is the likely impact of | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
this shake-up on all of us? There is an independent charity working | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
for better health. That is the big question. A lot of | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
the stuff going on is under the bonnet stuff and it will take a few | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
years before it kicks in but in the short-term at least, what will have | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
a bigger impact on things that really mattered to patients is the | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
financial challenge that the NHS is going through. That is, for the | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
first year or so at least, going to have a bigger impact on patients | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
than reforms. Still talking of change, it is called Healthier | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
Together. These five hospitals are at the centre of a major review led | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
by hospital consultants and GPs. All will keep their A&E departments | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
but some will lose various specialist services. | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
For most patients most of the time, we will aim to keep care as close | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
as it already is to home, if not closer, moving it out into the | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
community for at patience and diagnostics, but for some in- | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
patient services, patients may have to move to one of the other | :20:01. | :20:04. | |

For those arriving for this evening's public meeting, all that | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
is a lot to get to grips with. asked a lot of questions and I am | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
not always convinced that the people in these organisations | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
actually know the answers. There is so much change and not enough | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
funding going round that it makes it very difficult for the NHS staff. | :20:32. | :20:42. | |

Many sports clubs across the region are at the limits of their | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
resources because of an unprecedented uptake in demand | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
after the Olympics. The rowing club in Milton Keynes has been forced to | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
close its doors to newcomers and has 100 people on a waiting list. | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
It is a similar story at the rowing club in Bedford, which is where our | :21:54. | :22:04. | |
:22:04. | :22:06. | ||
reporter is now. Good evening. This place has seen | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
170 calls since the Olympics and Paralympics. The people behind me | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
taking part are some of the many taking part on the refresher | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
courses. Others have come here for the first time. It is getting dark | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
now but they are training for the next couple of Arras. It is | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
fascinating to see so many people come down here. How ready were you | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
for the post Olympic rushed? Fairly well prepared because last year we | :22:34. | :22:44. | |
:22:44. | :22:45. | ||
got the new boats. Coaches were the problem but we managed to train up | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
enough courage is to cope with the influx. But it is a bit of a mixed | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
picture because some clubs in Milton Keynes have been unsupported, | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
others have coped. Yes, we have coped. We anticipated a big | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
increase. Claudia, you have had an experience. What have the first few | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
weeks been like? It is really good. It is a lot harder than you think | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
it will be. There is a lot of technique but it is really good fun. | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
What has been the most surprising? A lot of people say they will do it | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
and never do. I just watched it on the television, was inspired at had | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
brilliantly we did and I just went on fire and said, I am going to | :23:35. | :23:45. | |
have a go at that. -- I went online. Are we will be rowing in the dark | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
but the boats have lights on so that is OK. We will be following | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
this closely over the next few months. | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
The makers of a battery-powered car from Norfolk claimed to have set a | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
new UK land speed record for an electric vehicle. The car, known as | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
the nemesis, reached 148mph at an airfield near York, beating the old | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
:24:11. | :24:18. | ||
record by 11mph. Our reporter was there. | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
This man is at the wheel of a vehicle that may not sound like a | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
supercar but certainly behaves like one. The speed on the first leg | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
tops 145, and on the return, he goes even faster. And a new record, | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
148mph. Yes, they have done it. You have broken the record. But what is | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
it like to drive? Very different. Phenomenally quick. It feels | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
different to any sort of racing car I have ever driven. The | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
acceleration is phenomenal. It has been a labour of love and money to | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
convert this car, bought from eBay, into a record-breaker. The company | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
behind it, Ecotricity, is a green energy firm and once Nemesis to | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
challenge perceptions that green cars are slow. We need to get a bit | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
of attention for green cars and get people thinking about them in a | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
different way. They are as good as anything else on the road today. | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
The new record has to be officially ratified but if it is, Nemesis will | :25:34. | :25:44. | |
:25:44. | :25:50. | ||
have achieved it not with a bank A lot more sunshine today than the | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
last few days and that is a sign of things to come for the weekend. | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
Plenty of sunshine breaking through the cloud. The band of thicker | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
cloud drifting in from the West through the afternoon. The showers | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
moved across western parts of the region through the afternoon. The | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
isolated shower possible this evening. One or two of the showers | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
still left around in the East but generally clearing away by midnight. | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
A bit of missed possible towards the end of the night. A light | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
south-westerly wind. A bit milder near the coast. For tomorrow, this | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
cold front is pushing down from the North West. That will bring more | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
cloud and patchy rain. Some bright spells in the morning but light | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
rain across the front as it moves through from west to east. Behind | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
it bright and sunny spells developing in the afternoon. But a | :26:53. | :27:03. | |
little cooler. The wind will pick up a bit from the West, South West. | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
Sunny spells through the evening on Friday but after that weather front | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
pushes through, high-pressure edging back in from the South West | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
and that will bring us better weather, but there is the next | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
weather system, bringing us some rain by Sunday. Sunny spells on | :27:20. | :27:25. |
