Good evening. More severe wdather is the BBC News channel. We are back | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
Good evening. More severe wdather is forecast to hit the South E`st over | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
the next 24 hours, with coastguards warning of the dangers to pdople | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
wanting to see the dramatic weather for themselves on cliffs and | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
beaches. Tonight, there are 11 flood warnings in Kent and Sussex. John | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Young reports. Four o'clock in Eastbourne this | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
afternoon and the sorts of scenes that make coastguards anxiots. As | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
the rain subsides and the force of the winds and waves take centre | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
stage. The winds have been picking up all afternoon and are expected to | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
get much stronger through the night and into tomorrow. It may look like | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
a great chance to go for a stroll but that is what worries | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
coastguards, especially when this sort of weather happens at weekends. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
Dylan Alkins was swept out to sea on a Sunday afternoon in Newhaven. He | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
was 14 years old. Seven weeks later, a woman in her late 30s drowned | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
after a Friday night out in Brighton. It seems she had run into | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
the waves after a few drinks. Particularly it is people coming | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
down looking to take an exchting photograph or playing a dard with | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
some waves breaking. It can quickly overwhelm someone and take them out | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
to sea. Further inland, the challenges | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
remain. This was Canterbury city centre this morning, this is the | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
remains of a car in Tunbridge Wells. More heavy rain is expected | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
tomorrow. A vehicle takes twice as long to | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
stop in rain and we would encourage people to slow down and heed the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
conditions. If it is diffictlt to see because of rain or sprax then | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
slow down. On the road or on the coast, the | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
message tonight from the experts, keep your distance. | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Meanwhile, angry farmers on the Romney Marsh claim that not enough | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
is being done to maintain the area during this period of heavy | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
rainfall, with some complaining of ruined crops, waterlogged fhelds and | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
clogged waterways. Ian Palmdr reports. | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
He's a farmer not enjoying his work. He says much of his wheat crop has | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
been underwater since December last year. He blames the Environlent | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Agency for not maintaining the water courses on Romney Marsh. I think | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
there could be a case for using the money better than they do. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Internet has got to be high priority. We've got a good system in | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
place, it just needs maintahning. Farmers say that reedbeds h`ven t | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
been cut back and waterways haven't been dredged. | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
The Environment Agency says it be silted several areas. It has a | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
five`year plan for the Romndy marshes which it will sit share with | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
farmers over the coming week. You discover one of the two machines | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
here isn't working. The Envhronment Agency says it will meet farmers and | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
their representatives as soon as the weather improves. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
The Southeastern train servhce between Battle and Robertsbridge is | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
not expected to resume until the last week of February. The line was | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
closed following two landslhps due to the recent bad weather. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Replacement bus services ard currently running to replacd trains | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
between the two stations. Ndtwork Rail say they are bringing hn 1 ,000 | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
tonnes of stone to rebuild the embankment at Whatlington Vhaduct, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
one of the landslip sites. Football and Brighton kept tp their | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
play`off push with victory over struggling Doncaster but Ch`rlton | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
lost 2`0 at home to Birmingham. And in League One, Gillingham bdat | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
Carlisle 2`1. Let's get the weather. | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
I'm afraid we have another wet and windy nights to come and thdre is | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
still a wet of `` Met Officd yellow warning in place. That is until six | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
o'clock in the morning. Showers pushing north eastwards and gusty | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
south`westerly winds as well. It made peak at 70 mph on the | :04:24. | :04:32. | |
coastline. Not a very pleas`nt night tonight. Tomorrow is not too | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
dissimilar to today. More showers pushing through, heavy at thmes | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
Still a strong south`westerly wind. On Monday morning ice may bd an | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
issue. And of course the ground is saturated. On Tuesday there is an | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
early yellow warning in place for rain again. Have a very good night. | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Goodbye. Good evening. Unfortunately I don't | :05:06. | :05:16. | |
have much good news in this forecast. There may be a brief | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
respite later tomorrow with the wind and the rain but it will not be long | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
enough and we have today's storm withers, pounding many coastlines in | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
the south and west, hence the Amber wind warning from the Met Office. It | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
is a windy day across the board and it is not just the wind that is a | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
concern. It is causing high waves, damaging winds, but there is more | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
shower activity, hail, thunder and snow in the north and the potential | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
for another 10-20 millimetres of rain in parts of Wales, the | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
south-west, perhaps some persistent showers in the south-east, coupled | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
with those rather lively wins. They hold the temp Richard tonight but | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
there could be ice in Scotland, given that we have wintry showers | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
Wash they hold the temperatures up to. Here is the respite. The shower | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
frequency edges down in the afternoon and the winds was well to | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
slightly drier, brighter Sunday afternoon. But it is only a | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
temporary dry spell. Tomorrow evening and | :06:16. | :06:16. |
