News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Schoolchildren in this region have the worst chance of a good education | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
compares with anywhere else in England. Ofsted says finding the | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
right features is a problem. You would not want to go if Ofsted say | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
the schools are not good. We will not apologise for identifying where | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
we think things are not right. That is our job. Welcome. Also tonight: | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
Detectives rule out foul play in the death of movie star Jean Kent at her | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
retirement home in Suffolk. Six days after the tidal surge, the race | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
begins to repair the damage sea defences. Join me at Silverstone to | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
see how some of the region's sporting superstars get on behind | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
the wheels. Schools in this region have been | :00:59. | :01:13. | |
given another set of poor marks by the official watchdog. In Norfolk | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
and Suffolk they are still stuck in the bottom ten per cent of the whole | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
country. And Ofsted says the gap between our struggling schools and | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
the rest of the country is getting wider. In its annual report, Ofsted | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
blames "poor leadership and teaching" which are delivering "a | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
mediocre education." The main concern is in primary schools. In | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
England almost 80% of pupils are going to good or outstanding | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
primaries. Locally we fall short. In Essex, seven out of ten attend a | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
good school. In Suffolk and Norfolk it's even lower. Compare that with | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
inner city areas like Lambeth and Lewisham. Both scored around 90%. | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
Speaking today, the education minister said a number of factors | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
were to blame. What Ofsted have said is overall schools are improving, | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
more schools are good and outstanding, but there is still an | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
issue with behaviour and discipline. This government has given more | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
powers for headteachers to exclude pupils permanently, to have the | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
tensions, to search the sessions. `` same day detention. In a moment, the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
picture in Suffolk. But we start in Norfolk which had a mountain to | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
climb after it was placed near the bottom of the league tables last | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
year. A spokesman for Ofsted said today it's puzzling that such a | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
beautiful county was struggling to attract talented teachers. This is | :02:38. | :02:38. | |
from our chief reporter Kim Riley. A teacher in Norfolk for 40 years | :02:39. | :02:52. | |
retires next week after 24 years as head teacher at Angel Road Junior | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
School in Norwich. He is proud of what the pupils have | :02:56. | :03:05. | |
achieved, far exceeding national targets set in a previous | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
inspection, and is confused by Ofsted's ruling that the school | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
needs improvement. Ofsted are adopting a very punitive approach, | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
no matter how hard I try, it is never going to be good enough, and | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
they are rewarding schools that have raised and it's by taking us down a | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
grade and saying that we require improvement. `` raised standards. | :03:30. | :03:39. | |
This Ofsted inspector accepts that no system is perfect but says there | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
is no doubt that some of the teaching needs to improve. I asked | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
two questions, is the lesson you have taught good enough for your own | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
offspring, if you come out of that and think you would have been | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
disappointed if your children had been top that, you should be | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
disappointed in what you have done . The other question, if you keep on | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
delivering lessons like that, perhaps the second question is, is | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
this really what I want to be doing? Ofsted's chief is the says the story | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
of our schools is a tale of two nations. It is a problem, not just | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
in Norfolk but the whole country. We need to have some investment from | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
government, it will not be enough to expect the county councils to do it | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
on their own. The county council's improvement plan has set an | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
ambitious target to have all schools rated good or outstanding by 2016. | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
This time last year, the education authorities in Suffolk were shocked | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
to find themselves at the bottom of national league tables. It triggered | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
a programme of improvements involving schools, teachers and | :04:56. | :04:56. | |
parents. Has it worked? These pupils are practising hard for | :04:57. | :05:08. | |
a concert but according to Ofsted they are among 29,000 at schools in | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
Suffolk that require improvement, are not up to scratch. The | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
headteacher's priority is a good rating, but for now, this is one of | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
the underperforming schools. It is very demoralising. When I started | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
teaching here many years ago it was considered to be one of the better | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
local authorities. People used to say to me, they will look after you. | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
Unfortunately, the dwindling numbers of people available to support | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
schools has made a big difference to what they are able to provide. | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
Suffolk county council insists it is working hard to help pupils and | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
drive up standards. They are spending ?2.4 million on this | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
programme. September, officials have removed three governing bodies and | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
issued three warning notices. Standards are rising in Suffolk | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
schools. We need to speed that up, work with head teachers, governors, | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
to ensure that they are doubling their efforts to raise standards in | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
school and get them better. The problem is worse in the primary | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
schools. They are 138th out of 150 in the national league table. The | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
secondary schools are 89th out of 150. They plan to be rated good by | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
Ofsted next autumn. I am confident that this school was borderline, | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
requires improvement, is close to achieving the grade it deserves. The | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
teachers are motivated and inspiring. That is all I need from | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
my children. That is what they get here. There are signs that standards | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
are beginning to improve, but for now, that improvement is small and | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
it could take a long time. Sean Harford is the regional | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
director of Ofsted. Earlier this afternoon, I asked him about the | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
situation. Primary education across the East of England is, in terms of | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
the schools, the worst in the country. The gap is widening, so | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
whilst we have seen some improvement over the year, the gap is widening | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
further, against other regions. Why is that? We see too much mediated | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
teaching in schools, and we think that is as a result of weak | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
leadership. Across the East of England we have the weakest quality | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
of leadership management in schools of any of the regions. I seem to | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
have heard this time and time again. We don't have the right people | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
teaching our children. Why can we put it right? The national report is | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
calling upon the National College for teaching and learning to | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
incentivise the best teachers to go to these areas where we need them. | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
Spell this out for us, should we pay them more? In part, it is about | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
conditions as well, there is an element of selling any area. Norfolk | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
is a beautiful county. Why you would not want to go work there, I don't | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
know. Ofsted keep seeing the schools are not good enough. We are not | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
going to apologise for saying where we don't think things are right. It | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
is the job. Is the problem money has been poured into inner cities and | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
places like Norfolk suffer? They do not have enough money? Clearly, we | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
would not deny that you need funds to give children a good education. | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
The issue is that we can identify other places in the country with | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
equal funding to the East of England where they are doing better. It is | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
not just about funds. It is about great leadership. It is about making | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
sure that when you have the people you have got, you improve what they | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
do, and if they don't improve you need to be disciplined. You spoke | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
about incentivising, you said it was partly about money, then you said it | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
is all about money. It is partly about money. But equal funds produce | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
different results. If I was a child who started in primary school five | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
years ago, my life, reasonably, has been ruined because nobody gave me | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
the right start in education. We have identified this year and idea | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
between the lucky and the unlucky child, and you're absolutely right. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
I live in Cambridgeshire, my children were lucky to go to a | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
really good primary and secondary school. My daughter is at a | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
fantastic college. If I drive 30 miles north of where I live, | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
appearing there would have a different story to tell. `` parents | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
there. Do parents in this region have to accept that we will have a | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
lost generation of children coming through schools? I don't think they | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
should. They need to play their part in making sure are not right they | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
are telling people where things are not right. Come to terms with it? I | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
don't think we should because it sounds defeatist. We want to stop | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
wringing hands and rolling our sleeves up. Thank you. Detectives in | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
Suffolk said this evening there was nothing suspicious about the death | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
of one of Britain's great movie stars of the 1950s. Jean Kent was | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
found collapsed at her home in Suffolk two weeks ago. The coroner | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
asked for a police investigation because of injuries on her body. In | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
her heyday, she appeared alongside some of the Hollywood greats, | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
including Laurence Olivier and Stewart Grainger. Let's get some | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
more details now from Gareth George. This is Saint Margaret's church in | :11:02. | :11:15. | |
West Thorpe, where Jean Kent's funeral should already have taken | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
place. The service was postponed while the police investigated the | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
circumstances surrounding her death. Quiet Suffolk villages are not where | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
you would expect a fine film stars, but Jean Kent, pictured here for | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
months before she died, had lived here for more than 20 years. `` | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
expect to find film stars. She was one of the most likeable people you | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
could ever wish to meet. No edge, always a past of `` part of the | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
community, and friendly person to have around. This is Jean Kent with | :11:52. | :12:00. | |
Stewart Grainger. She was one of the biggest British film stars of the | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
1940s and 1950s. At her wedding she was mobbed by fans. This is the | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
house where Jean Kent had lived alone in the death of her husband. | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
On November the 28th, her housekeeper found her lying | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
semiconscious on her bedroom floor. She was taken to the West Suffolk | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
hospital and was found to have fractured ribs and severe bruising. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
She died two days later. At first, police treated her death as | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
unexplained. They were asked to investigate. Wherever she is now, | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
she might be having a black laugh about this scenario, saying it was a | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
bit like the plot of one of her films. | :12:46. | :12:56. | |
Did anyone still recognise her? Yes. We have been out with her, people | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
would recognise her, they would go up to her and say something. Late | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
this afternoon, Suffolk police said officers were satisfied there are no | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
suspicious circumstances surrounding Jean Kent's death. They inspected | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
her house and found no signs of a break`in, and she told nobody at the | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
hospital she had been assaulted. That is why police have come to the | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
conclusion that there is nothing suspicious. That will be a relief to | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
her friends and family, they can now start planning a fitting tribute to | :13:37. | :13:37. | |
her. Thank you. Railway workers will be holding a | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
ballot on industrial action in a dispute involving cleaners at | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
railway stations. The RMT Union is in dispute with the train operator | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
Greater Anglia. They say they want to push through proposals to cut | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
jobs. The ballot will be held between now and January sixth. | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
Still to come: Living with dementia, we report on a big step forward in | :14:12. | :14:20. | |
research in this region. These sports men are good at rugby, | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
football and cricket, but can they drive? | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
Six days after the tidal surge swept down the region's coast, work has | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
begun on repairing the damage caused to sea defences. The Environment | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
Agency says it's too early to say how much it will all cost but it | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
will take time and money. Today, the Minister in charge of the recovery | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
programme chaired a meeting in Whitehall. We'll be hearing from | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
Brandon Lewis in a moment. But first, our environment reporter | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
Richard Daniel has been to see the diggers in action in Suffolk trying | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
to plug the gaps. It was built following the floods of 1953. But it | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
was no match for the surge of 2013. This was one of 22 places in Suffolk | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
where sea and river walls were breached, as were many more in | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
Norfolk. Here's the point where the water poured in. During the search, | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
the sea came over this whole. There was pressure on the front edge. What | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
they think happened is the water went mind as it came over. It | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
created a weakness which caused the wall to fall. Heavy machinery | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
arrived to make emergency repairs. Locals say not enough has been done. | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
Banks slump, they lose height over a period of time, that would have had | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
an effect this particular case, because there are at least 120 | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
metres of topping and a lesser amount in the other direction. | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
Norfolk and Suffolk's defences for the brunt of last week's North Sea | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
surge. The extent of the damage and the cost is still being assessed. | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
Months of work lie ahead, the cost is expected to run into millions of | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
pounds. With the field teams and contractors we are going out of the | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
most urgent locations and filling them with clay. We are doing | :16:22. | :16:31. | |
emergency repairs so we can stop any further tide coming in right. | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
Ultimately, we will come back and assess these locations to see what | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
further work will be needed. The environment agency is drafting in | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
extra staff. They said the immediate priority is to plug the gaps that | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
have left properties and communities at risk. A committee to oversee the | :16:48. | :16:57. | |
reconstruction of homes and businesses met for the first time. I | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
spoke to Brandon Lewis, the MP. He said there will not be any extra | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
money so I asked how the work will be paid for. At the moment, local | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
authorities, the agencies charged with the clear process, arguing that | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
work. The government has activated the Bellwin Scheme, so local | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
authorities can make a claim to central government. It is a | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
well`known scheme. They have used it in floods before. They will be | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
recompensed for that. The environment agency is assessing the | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
damage. They will assess that as part of their budget. They have an | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
ongoing budget in terms of flood work and repair work and flood | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
protection. That has increased under this government and in my own can | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
Rich Ricci, just next year, there is a scheme to improve it. `` my own | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
constituency. What have your constituents been saying about help | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
from government? Obviously, I have a role to look at what we're doing, to | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
make sure the clear up work is going ahead properly across the country. | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
As a constituency member of Parliament for great Yarmouth I have | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
two sides of it. We have residents who have benefited this year from | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
the work that was done, and the town centre was not as badly hit, and we | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
have a further ?28 million of work starting next year, that is | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
fantastic news to protect about 15,000 properties. We still have | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
work to do around the coastal erosion issue. Part of this is | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
making sure whatever work is done is the correct work. Making sure the | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
experts have looked at it and the money is being spent to give help to | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
those areas. How worried are you about future flooding events? We are | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
always against nature. The internal work that is being done will give us | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
further protection, but when we get a surge like that, even with flood | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
defences and coastal erosion work, there will not necessarily be | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
protection from the harshest realities of nature, particularly as | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
an island nation. There is a concern about why it is important that the | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
planning work is done. Local groups did amazing work making sure those | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
preparations are in place. They paid dividends to make sure areas like | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
great Yarmouth could evacuate. If we have that, the important thing is | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
people remain safe by listening to the advice they are given by all of | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
the agencies, the emergency services, the environment agency, he | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
the warnings and stay safe. `` he'd the warnings. As you may have seen, | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
world leaders are ` for the first time ` coming together to talk about | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
dementia. It's given hope to a Cambridge charity that has for years | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
worked towards treatment and a cure. Today Alzheimer's Research UK | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
announced it's going to spend ?3m to boost research into finding the | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
right drugs. Anna Todd has been to meet two women whose lives have been | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
turned upside down by the disease. In their late 80s, life began to | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
change for Mary and Fred Carling. She could not make a cup of tea. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
Things like that. She put frozen food into a draw. `` drawer. They | :20:25. | :20:34. | |
started arguing in ways that they had not done before. Their daughter | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
watched as dementia set in. My father was diagnosed and we were | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
told there was nothing we could do. My mother was not diagnosed, the | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
Doctor said there was not much point giving her any medication. Today, | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
world leaders pledged treatments and cures by 2025. Arguably the most | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
significant event in dementia and Alzheimer's described the disease. | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
We are tasked with making it more visible than it has ever been | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
before. Hope is hard to come by. Most drugs trials fail. On the back | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
of this summit, one Cambridge charity is pulling together a | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
consortium, research experts from all sectors. Why has it taken so | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
long for the world to come together? It may be that some ageism is at | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
play. That is perhaps one reason it has not received the attention it | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
deserves. Another is we have not had many success stories and I think | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
success breeds success. It is too late for Sarah Kane's husband, who | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
was diagnosed with Alzheimer's age 43. I don't have children, | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
grandchildren, I will probably not grow old with the man I was | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
expecting to grow old with. Together in a care home, Mary and Fred | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
Carling did just that. They celebrated their platinum wedding | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
anniversary in the home. In spite of everything, they loved each other | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
right up until the end. If you have any questions or | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
concerns about dementia you can get some very useful advice from Age UK. | :22:27. | :22:30. | |

their rugby boots and cricket bats today, for the wheel of a fast car | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
at Silverstone. The idea was to see how stars from Northampton's | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
football, cricket and rugby teams would get on around the circuit. | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
Driving a fast car is one thing but tearing round in the fog this | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
morning proved to be a real challenge.Mike Liggins was there. | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
Alex Weekley was trying on his motor racing uniform for size. I checked | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
out if these Northampton Town footballers were safe to drive. | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
In the briefing, Danny Emerton looked nervous, but then he spoke a | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
good game. I am a good driver. A few of the lads then there would not be | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
so sure about that, but I will be OK. Really? Some of them not so | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
good? You need to look out for them. Strapped in and ready to go. This | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
footballer bunny hopped his way down the pit lane. The foggy conditions | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
made driving difficult. One of the drivers appears to have stopped. He | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
cannot start again either. I think he got lost in the fog. | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
We saw you bunny hopping down the pit lane. That was quite good. | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
Obviously, my car is a bit different. Once I found the clutch, | :24:17. | :24:27. | |
I was more comfortable. Then it was the turn of the rugby players and | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
the Cricketers, they have had three years. The sports are coming | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
together, we trained with another team the other day. It is good for | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
the town. Sadly, some of the players never got | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
to show how quickly would have been because the fog came down and it was | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
not safe to drive, but money was raised for Northampton general, and | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
the footballers ever give up the day job, there might be a new Lewis | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
Hamilton here. Unlikely, but you never know. | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
What a shame for all of them. Very bad luck. Quite a lot of us have | :25:06. | :25:16. | |
this fog. For some of us, it did lift, making some beautiful sunsets. | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
We have some photographs showing the sun setting. Some of us had fog all | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
day, making conditions Chile. It will re`form through this evening | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
and overnight. `` chilly. It should not be as widespread as it was last | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
night. You can still see that we have high pressure, light wind, | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
clear skies, conditions are pretty ideal. You can see the satellite | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
image from earlier across this western half, that is where it | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
lingered. Expect an evening, the first part of the night will be | :25:59. | :26:08. | |
misty and foggy. Temperatures around freezing for most of us, that could | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
mean fog patches. Temperatures will hover around 2`3 Celsius. Tomorrow, | :26:15. | :26:23. | |
it is going to be misty, but it should lift the way and we will be | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
left with a cloudy forecast. There might be brighter spells but the | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
general trend will be for the cloud to increase into the afternoon. It | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
should stay dry, although into the afternoon and evening, just a few | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
spots of drizzle are possible. Still a cold day. The wind will freshen | :26:42. | :26:50. | |
from the south. The pressure pattern is changing, by Friday the | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
high`pressure routes away `` moves away and we have this coming in from | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
the west. The wind will strengthen, but this weather front will not have | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
a great deal of rain on it by the time it gets to our part of the | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
region. Some brighter spells to start with, but on the whole a lot | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
of cloud. Into the mid to late afternoon, there is a chance of | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
patchy rain, turning more persistent. The wind will freshen | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
through Friday. For the weekend it looks largely dry, a bit cloudy at | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
times. Another chilly night, but temperatures will be above freezing. | :27:35. | :27:36. | |
