Dealing with the difficulties of dementia. A new initiative to cope | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
with violent patients. Good evening. Tens of thousands of people in the | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
South West are suffering from the condition. We'll have all the | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
details in a moment. Hoping lightning The family in Cornwall | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
made homeless by the recent storms. Doesn't strike twice. Construction | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
completed on Dorset's Olympic village. We have a sneak preview. | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
It is a win for us in terms of looking after the athletes and for | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
the area and the need for housing here. And rescued, rested and ready | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
to fly again. The journey continues for the birds blown off course. On | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
the day that a new report reveals that 27 million people suffering | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
from dementia worldwide remain undiagnosed, a steep rise in cases | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
have been reported in the South West. It's estimated that well over | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
100,000 people in the region will be living with the condition within | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
a decade. The new figures coincide with a radical initiative at the | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Royal Devon and Exeter. Nurses and security guards have formed a | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
unique partnership to help staff cope with dementia patients who | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
become agitated or violent. Our Health Correspondent, Sally | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Mountjoy, been talking to staff and patients at the hospital and has | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
:01:25. | :01:37. | ||
this report. Today the elderly care wards at the RDE are calm. But many | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
have dementia, a decline of the brain often marked by the loss of | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
memory, speech and emotional control. Some patients become | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
aggressive. A disproportionate number of nurses were suffering | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
injuries and we felt it would be best rather than just calling the | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
security to make sure the nurses, security and everyone was fully in | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
the picture about the best way of managing disturbance. That is where | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
Jason comes in. His build might be suited to managing unruly drunks, | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
but he has teamed up with specialists to lack after dementia | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
patients. Remaining elderly people doesn't happen. It is more | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
supporting them. We aim to prevent falls and them causing harm to | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
themselves or other patients around them. It is support and showing | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
them the right way, as opposed to what they think is right and | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
putting themselves at risk. It is more a physical intervention to | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
help and aid their care. We had a lot of violent and aggressive | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
incidents and through no fault of the patient. We didn't think we | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
were managing that properly in the rate way. We're trying to teach | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
ourselves skills we can get away from an issue, while keeping the | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
patient safe and the relatives not feeling as if we have been too | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
heavy handed. That has been key. 79,000 people in the South West are | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
living with dementia, that figure is expected to rise by 25%. But | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
here the number of in-patients with dementia symptoms has gone up 25% | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
in two years. Diagnosed with early onset dementia, this man is pleased | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
with the training programme. It is a fantastic step forward and | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
hopefully everyone else will start doing it. It should be the | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
prototype for the others. Training staff to manage dis-- disturbed | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
patients will help keep hospitals the safe places they're meant to be. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Debbie Donnison from the Alzheimers Society. I | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
asked for her views on this new way of dealing with dementia patients. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
I think for a long time that dementia has been hidden from | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
public view and people with dementia haven't had a voice. | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
People caring for people with dementia haven't, have felt | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
stigmatised by having to deal with the disease. But it is coming more | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
to the forefront, because more people are having to deal with it. | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
For that reason, I think these, the education and training and | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
awareness, hasn't been there, because people haven't seen it as a | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
condition that needs to be paid attention to. Dementia is a disease | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
that is not going to go away, more and more of us are suffering from | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
:04:56. | :04:56. | ||
it aren't we? We're. The figures are startling. At the moment there | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
are 750,000 people who have dementia. But of course only on | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
average 40% of those have a diagnosis. So there are many people | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
who living without knowing that they have dementia and of course | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
that does bt a -- doesn't allow to get access to treatments available. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
Would you like to see this new way of dealing with patient rolled out | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
across the country? Yes I think we have to raise awareness on a much | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
more wade scale. It is important in hospital of course, because a | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
quarter of beds are occupied by people with dementia. So it is | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
important there and you can see that because there are so many | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
people with dementia in hospital, that it is important to, for the | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
staff and for people who work in the hospital, not just the nurses | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
and doctors, but for as we see, the security guards, having the | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
training necessary. But also that we need to do that across our | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
communities. 10 that everyone's aware of dementia, because with | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
understanding it helps in dealing with people and understanding how | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
they, what they have to cope with. Thank you. People in Cornwall have | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
been expressing their anger after plans were released for the cross- | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
county seat of Bideford and Bude. As our Political Editor Martyn | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
Oates reports, the controversial move is part of the Government's | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
plan to cut the number of MPs across Britain. It is here as it | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
meets the channel that we see this boundary between Devon and Cornwall. | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Plymouth and Saltash may have been joined by the great bridge, but the | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
boundary commission has shrunk from following them. South of Bude the | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
river is less formidable and this is where Devon and Cornwall could | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
soon become even more acquainted. The border might only be crossed | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
through a narrow bottleneck, but that would mean Devon towns finding | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
themselves in a forced and arguably loveless marriage with Bude and | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
:07:22. | :07:24. | ||
even this place, Launceston, the oldest frontier stoun. No, Cornish | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
stay Cornish. It is a shame we keep them separated. But I understand | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
the reasoning. But Launceston and Bude, they have all been close. | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
don't think it will help our cause to go in with deeven, because we're | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
not Devon. The change would leave the two current MPs fighting over | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
one seat. It not whether it affects me, but about natural communities | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
and that sense of identity and the sort of Cornish pride that people | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
have and their concern that that might be affected if their voice in | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
Parliament is not wholly within the area. I'm saddened by the | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
suggestions of the commission. I'm struggling to understand its logic. | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
It seems to me they could have been achieved much better in other ways. | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
And I'm particularly concerned by the splitting of the area into | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
three constituencies. There is another twist. This is a Cornish | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
village. Historically in the distripbgt of Launceston and the | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
area of Cornwall. But until 1966, in the county of Devon. But fla | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
won't console those opposed to the Tamar being breached. Even at its | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
shallowest and the Boundary Commission hopes least resistance | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
point. And Martyn Oates is here with me now. There are some big | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
potential changes elsewhere in the South West aren't there? Yes some | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
whole constituencys in Devon and Cornwall, in Devon the Tavistock | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
and Plymouthton seat that would link communities up to Tavistock | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
and beyond into north-west Devon. Cornwall would get the Bodmin and | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
Newquay seat. Elsewhere, some constituencies and names we thought | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
we were saying goodbye to a year ago, they could make a come back. | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
Falmouth and Cambourne and Truro. But I should stress it is just a | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
proposal and it is a long way from happening. If it does, a long | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
consultation process and a lot of MPs unhappy with it. I know from | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
experience that it, they do need to scrutinise where the lines go. Draw | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
the line in a different way and it affects the election. | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
Westminster they were queuing up to get their hands on copies of maps | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
to finds o' out -- out whether their constituency would disappear | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
and whether they become marginal or Unwinable. If we were to project | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
the votes from last year's election to these boundaries, most of the | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
outcomes would have been the same. A couple of exceptions to that, in | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Plymouth, instead of one Labour MP we would have none. And the new | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
seat of bird ford and Bude would be Liberal Democrat. -- bid ford add | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
Bude. You are watching BBC Spotlight. Still to come tonight: A | :10:32. | :10:34. | |

Widecombe Fair live on into the future? And in Plymouth the robots | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
of the future are helping to teach a new generation of scientists. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
mother has been describing the moment her family home was hit by | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
one of several lightning strikes which have affected Cornwall. Helen | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Shorland's house is just one to be hit after a series of thunderstorms, | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
in the wake of Hurricane Katia. Her family is one of two made | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
temporarily homeless, because their homes were so badly damaged. | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
:11:10. | :11:14. | ||
Eleanor Parkinson reports. This is the four foot hole left in one home. | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
The lightning went through roof and ceiling. It blew sockets outside | :11:20. | :11:30. | |
and inside. This is my ten-year- old's bedroom. So what happened? | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
would have come through chimney and blew the bricks out across the room. | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
This is all out in the room? Yes, the council have placed them back | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
in. Your daughter sleeps here, had she been in the room, what could | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
have happened? She would have been hit by win of the bricks, possibly | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
knocked out. You were planning to hoover just before it struck? | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
but I changed my mind and decided to have my dinner first. There was | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
bricks all over the floor, in the garden, I went in my sister's room | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
and she has a massive hole. gave us a hug and said the house | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
was hit by lightning. So I was so shocked, I didn't say anything. | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
lightning has been blamed on storms caused by the tail end of Hurricane | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
Katia and the autumn equinox. Melon didn't have home contents insurance | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
and was struggling to replace furniture. But she has been offered | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
some by a benefactor. But she has had a lucky escape. The South | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
West's housing market remained subdued during August. The Royal | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
Institution of Chartered Surveyors blames economic uncertainty and | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
tight mortgage lending. The number of sales per surveyor also remains | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
low, while the number of properties on their books has also fallen. | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
Estate agents say sellers have to be realistic about asking prices. | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
As a buyer, it's probably a good time to buy. Amongst surveyors | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
there is not the mectation that prices are going to drop, but we're | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
in most cases, something like 10% below the figure that we were | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
achieving at the height of the market in 2007. Some of the | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
migrating birds rescued from stormy seas and cared for at a wildlife | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
unit in Somerset were released back into the wild today. Around 350 | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
birds were taken to the RSCPA centre at West Hatch near Taunton | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
last week after being pulled out of the sea in West Wales. Strong winds | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
had scuppered their migration to South America, but this morning | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
around 50 of the birds were boxed up and taken to the North Devon | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
coast to be set free. But, as Clinton Rogers reports, the | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
:13:50. | :13:51. | ||
operation wasn't without its problems. Not the way they had | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
hoped to begin their journey to South America. But then these birds | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
couldn't have made it on their own. It was last week that hundreds of | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
these birds were pulled from the sea in Wales. Strong winds had | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
scuppered their annual migration, leaving them battered and exhausted. | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
More than 350 were brought to the RSPCA unit near Taunton, where they | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
were cleaned and hand fed to build up their strength. Six days on and | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
around 60 were being prepared for release back into the wild. | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
Individually boxed, and heading for the coast of North Devon. They're | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
going to the seaside to release them on the coast and we're happy | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
with that location, because there is a nice cliff to go off and make | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
their final journey and freedom. Conservation bol volunteers in | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
Wales have leased a handful of birdss from a ferry. They believe | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
the birds stand better chance of survival if they're set free away | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
from land. I don't see the English side of the Bristol channel | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
particularly, the narrow part of it, as a good place to release them. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Here in Somersety bird is tested for its floatation abilitys before | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
being considered for release. Reacting to the criticism, the | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
RSPCA say there isn't a ferry option here and transporting them | :15:23. | :15:32. | |
by road to North Wales would have caused them too much stress. As for | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
this this release site, they say it was approved by experts in Wales. | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
And so today with a little help, the birds began their migration to | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
South America. Some were plainly not keen to go. But most knew just | :15:51. | :16:00. | |
:16:01. | :16:03. | ||
what to do. Only 7,000 miles to go! Oh he didn't want to go. Let's hope | :16:03. | :16:10. | |
they make it. A full weather forecast coming up and I think the | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
winds are easing. Now the sport. One of the businessmen bidding to | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
take over Plymouth Argyle will decide on Friday if he'll do a deal | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
for the club. North Devon-based hotelier James Brent has told BBC | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
South West that he's talking with stakeholders at the club to see if | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
a deal is possible. Argyle are still in administration and earlier | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
this month players threatened to strike in order to get part of | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
their wages. On the pitch, South West teams desperately need winning | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
points tonight in a full programme of League games. Exeter City are | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
without suspended striker Daniel Nardiello as they try to beat Notts | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
County at St James Park. Yeovil Town seek their first win in a | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
month against Wycombe Wanderers at Huish Park. In League Two, it's | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
sixth against fifth at Plainmoor when Torquay United face Cheltenham | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
Town and Plymouth Argyle will stay bottom no matter what they do at | :16:57. | :17:06. | |
:17:07. | :17:07. | ||
Barnet. It's been another big day in the countdown to the Olympics in | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
Dorset. Work on some of the buildings where the sailors will | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
stay was completed. The former Olympic gold medallist Jonathan | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
Edwards unveiled a very special piece of Portland Stone. Before I | :17:15. | :17:24. | |
spoke to him, I took a look around the �13 million development. The | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
last time I was here it was still a building site. Tonight another | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
stage in Dorset's preparation for 2012 is reached. The sailing venue | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
was the first in Britain to be finish. Now as well as somewhere to | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
compete, the athletes have a roof over their heads too. This host is | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
looking well organised. Outside the buildings are now complete. And | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
they are dual purpose, they have not just put them up for Olympics, | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
next year sailor will be here and after they become fart of the local | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
housing stock. Some will be -- part of the local housing stock. Some | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
will be part of an affording housing scheme. The team will see a | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
different look inside. This is the show home for the open market. | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
lot of focus is on the venues where they will compete, but they spend | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
most of the time in Olympic village. How important is that, where you | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
eat and sleep? It is crucial, most of the time the sailors will spend | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
here within the Olympic village. You know, how good a night's sleep | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
they have and the ability to relax and watch television, to deflect | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
from the pressure that, will make the difference on how well they do | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
on the water. There was some anger in Portland at the siting of the | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
houses, the sailors could have been put in up a floating hotel. But the | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
council said this is the right outcome. This could have been a | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
boat and then it would have come in and gone. As it is, it is being | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
used by the athletes for Olympics and in the meantime and I think | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
that is fantastic. It would have been here any way, but it is coming | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
quicker and in available for local people straightaway after the | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
Olympics. The builders say the houses will be complete and handed | :19:17. | :19:26. | |
over in January. Plenty of time before the games commerce. -- | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
commence. Hundreds of people descended on a Dartmoor village | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
today for one of Devon's oldest shows. But although the crowds were | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
soaking up everything Widecombe Fair had to offer, organisers admit | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
its long-term future is in the balance. Simon Alexander reports. | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
It has been all the fun of the fair tairbgsd uncle Tom cobbibly and all | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
here for one of the most traditional events. It is a bit of | :19:51. | :19:59. | |
fun. One a -- once a year you dress up. One of the main focuses was | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
keeping traditional rural activities alive. There is always | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
young people coming into the trade. I get inquirys two or three times a | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
year. It is a hands on skill. More so man this many other trades, | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
because it is a thing you have fot to learn over a long period of time. | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
It was a day to remember for show goers with at love both the old and | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
:20:35. | :20:43. | ||
the new. -- a lot of both the old It is a family show. It is not | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
commercial and it is like the old fairs. We come every year. It is a | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
great way of seeing the countryside. I think it is, yeah, it is | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
excellent. After making a loss for two of the last three year, a lots | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
will depend on it breaking even. I'm sure we can carry on. It is | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
whether we can afford to put on a big fair with everything going on, | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
it costs a lot these days. There is insurance and transport and road | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
closures. Dating back to 18 50s, the festival is world renowned. | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
Organisers hope to toast its success again next year. | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
Schoolchildren from across Devon and Cornwall were on Plymouth Hoe | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
today to experience and learn about some of the wonders of modern | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
science. Among the attractions, Ferdinand the footballing robot, | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
:21:44. | :21:45. | ||
recently crowned World Champion at the Robo World Cup in Taiwan. From | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
searchinging for -- searching for bugs to the je hetic code there was | :21:52. | :22:02. | |
:22:02. | :22:05. | ||
a lot of science. It is gross people. Gross. We're using a chisel | :22:05. | :22:15. | |
and Mallet to dig into a bit of sand. Wow, I need to sit down. So | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
So vines can be fun. But it always had a ser -- so science can be fun, | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
but it has a serious side. This is making robots for companions for | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
children in hospital. We're looking at children with diabetes, and it | :22:34. | :22:43. | |
is as an educational tool and a companion too. This is world class | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
research. It is international world class. These robots are desiends | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
and manufactured in Plymouth and are cutting edge technology and our | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
undergraduates learn and experience from this. Even the most cutting | :22:58. | :23:07. | |
edge technology can still trip you up. That is a bit more exciting | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
than it was when I was at school. I led getting a tortoise to go one | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
step forward and one step back. That was amazing. We were astounded. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
Do you know what he is on about. Were you in the dark age like me, | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
David? I don't think we had tortoises in our school. What is | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
happening with the weather. Well those sea wirds -- birds, the winds | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
are dying down but they have a long are dying down but they have a long | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
way to go. Quieter conditions on the way with the wind dropping. | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
There are some showers tonight. They're already appearing on the | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
satellite. As this cloud is on the way towards us. For most of the | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
area it is fine and dry until later on after dark. This area of high | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
pressure will become our friends. It gets closer tonight. And by | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
lunchtime on Thursday, it is across southern Britain. This is a weak | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
one and will trickle past us. By Thursday the high pressure is over | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
us and it means quiet conditions, light winds, a chilly start on | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
Thursday and the possibility of mist and fog. Quite widespread on | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
Thursday morning. There is the picture from earlier, you can see | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
the cloud coming into western parts of Ireland. But earlier our camera | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
man was on Dartmoor and the weather was really quite nice. There has | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
been a breeze blowing today, but some sunshine and patchy cloud and | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
mainly dry conditions and excel lepbts views. Good visibility as | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
well after last week's mist and low cloud. If you're up for a walk on | :24:55. | :25:03. | |
the moors, the vizibilities should be good. And with good clean air as | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
well. Nor cloud in the west now. But the cloud across Ireland will | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
head our way later on. And a whole rash of showers will cross most of | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
the South West when we're asleep. In the morning they will have | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
disappeared to the east. Brisk, west or north-west winds continuing | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
tonight. But falling light in some valleys. So quiet conditions, apart | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
from the slours and -- showers and cooler than it has been, down to | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
seven in the countryside. Tomorrow morpbling we have some fine and dry | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
weather and a slight chance of one or two showers. Was the -- but the | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
main theme is a fine day. With lighter winds it will feel warmer. | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
Temperatures around 19 degrees. Still on the cool side along the | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
west-facing coasts. For the Isles of Scilly, a small chance of a | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
shower in the morning rgs, but other than that die with the | :26:08. | :26:18. | |
:26:18. | :26:20. | ||
westerly winds not so long -- strong. For surfers still some big | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
waives, the north coast still choppy. Cleaner surf along the | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
south coast. For the coast e coastal waters the winds are from | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
the west or north-west tomorrow at force four or five. Meshes Cup | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
starts again tomorrow. A good view from Plymouth Hoe with good | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
visibility and fine conditions. Here is the forecast for the rest | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
of the week and into the weekends. I mentioned it could be on the | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
misty side on Thursday morning. After a cold start, temperatures up | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
to 16 degrees. Friday starts off fine, but we see more cloud coming | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
our way with the risk of patchy rain and breezy and damp as we move | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
into the start of the weekend. Have a nice evening. Dank you. Our top | :27:10. | :27:17. | |
