On the day closures to coastguard stations across the south west are | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
confirmed, one man says he owes his life to the service. Local | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
knowledge is key and being in the environment, their presence is... | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
Is No 1. Good evening. We'll be hearing from coastguards in Brixham | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
and from a local MP about today's announcement. Also on Spotlight | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
tonight: Local criminals receive a pre-Christmas message. Police in | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Torbay send letters to known shoplifters warning - offend again | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
and face jail. And described as inadequate - the plans to ease | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
overcrowding on local trains. Sometimes we can't even get on and | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
then we have to pay for the bus, the buses won't let us on with the | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
train tickets. Even though it is the same company. The Government | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
finally confirmed today that controversial proposals to cut | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
coastguard cover in the South West will go ahead. Stations at Brixham | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Portland and Swansea are among eight centres that will close | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
progressively by March 2015. Falmouth is one of eight that will | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
stay open as 24-hour centres. We've a series of reports and reaction | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
:01:26. | :01:27. | ||
tonight. First, this from Spotlight's Scott Bingham. Sailor | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
Robert Boyd is under no illusion about the importance oft coastguard | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
service. He was taking rt part in the regatta when his boat catch | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
sized. They co-ordinated the rescue organisation. He says he owes them | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
his life. I was under water for approximately four minutes. So I | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
understand. When the boat was... Brought back up, I was very close | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
to death. A lot of people have said that without that speed of | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
operation I would certainly not be here. Today after nearly 12 month | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
of consultation, shipping minister, Mike Penning confirmed station at | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
Swansea, Portland and Brixham will be among those closed. Falmouth | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
will be the South West's only station. One of eight 24 hour | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
centres. It seems to be stretched too thin. It is putting people's | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
lives at danger just to save a few pound. The minister also announced | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
a new single maritime operation centre in Hampshire, prompting | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
concerns from one Cornish MP. the trial of a new control centre | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
demonstrates the loss of local knowledge, to be an added danger to | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
any sea-user sh will he reconsider his plans for closing any | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
coastguard co-ordination centres sh as the Prime Minister has already | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
mentioned? None of the centres will close before the robustness of the | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
system is up and running. Government says safety is paramount | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
and the proposals about modernising the agency. But this decision may | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
not be the end of the matter. There is talk of an online petition and | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
possible further debate in Parliament. Earlier I spoke to | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
coastguard Mick Cook of the Public and Commercial Services Union. He | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
told us today that the announcement held no surprises but was | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
nevertheless disappointing. You're right, it is disappointing. As you | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
can imagine in the operations room it is very quiet. People are | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
despondent and sad. Government... It is not clear what | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
the future holds. The Government thinks these measures can be taken | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
without a great risk to life. Would you agree? No, we don't agree. Even | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
though the Government have said Brixham will close, our opinion is | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
still the same. We have got an operations room bought and paid for. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
You have got a massive talented staff here. We're one of the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
busiest coastguard stations, certainly along the South West | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
coast and they're going to close us. The shipping Minister said he | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
called you a first class rescue service. Could you continue to | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
deliver that service? I don't believe so. Not in the way that we | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
have been doing it. The local knowledge issue is still an issue. | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
They have not resolved that. This campaign has been about many things. | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
Budget, Government cuts, jobs, but on top of that list is safety to | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
the public. So what does it mean now, is there any room for | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
manoeuvre, is the battle over? seem like it is over. But I will | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
never say never. The general public have been supportive to us. And | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
they can still play a big part if they went online to WW coastguard | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
petition, they can Reg stir their feelings on if there is 100 | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
thousand signatures, it has to be debated in Parliament. And for | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
people who use the sea around the coast of the South West, what will | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
this mean for them? Well this is what we don't know. We're going | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
into something that we have not gone into before. So it is hard for | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
me to say. But as I said, the local knowledge issue is still unresolved. | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
Thank you. Spotlight's Political Editor Martyn Oates has been | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
following the story today and has been gauging reaction at | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
Westminster. Today is the end of the consultation and further | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
consultation on the plans to modernise the coastguard service. | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
As the shipping minister said, the second consultation was on four | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
very specific points. It wasn't intended to re-open the whole | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
debate as to whether Bracks him and Portland should be closed. That | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
decision was made earlier in the year. -- Brixham and Portland. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
People now in the area realise there noise chance of a reprieve. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
The MPs representing the areas of course fought hard to keep their | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
specific local coastguard stations open and the Conservative MP for | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
south east Cornwall, who has not got any coast guard station in her | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
area, but has a lot of experience of needs of fishing industry, has | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
said the Government's plans should be torn up and thrown away. Today | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
she says the fight goes on. I will not see any marine co-ordination | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
centre close whilst I believe, or any member of the public believes | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
that safety of our sea goers will be compromised. The Government says | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
the reforms will not only maintain the present service, but will | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
improve it. Sheryl Murray is one of many people expecting the | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
Government to prove that now. you. Devon and Cornwall Police are | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
writing to known shoplifters warning that they'll be jailed if | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
they commit crimes in the run up to Christmas. Operation Action has | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
been launched in Torbay with increased police patrols and the | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
use of CCTV. Our Home Affairs correspondent Simon Hall reports. | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
Shoplifting can steal the spark frl Christmas for retailers and | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
shoppers. This jewellers lost a �300 neck lace in a recent theft. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
The police are writing to repeat shoplifters in the area, warning | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
they will be watched and face prison if they commit crimes before | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
Christmas. It is a good police presence on the street. It helps | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
with the general public. It is a good initiative for businesss to | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
make people feel protected. It is not just retailers who suffer with | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
shoplifting, shoppers do. A survey estimated the crime adds about �180 | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
a year to the average family's shopping bill. As part of Operation | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
aboution, there will be extra police patrols and CCTV to keep | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
watch. It is not a gimmick. It is important that we target the small | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
minority of criminals who commit the proportion of the crime. It is | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
not good enough that we let them get away with that. I'm not | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
prepared and the police are not prepared to accept these small | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
number of people committing this crime. Retailers are being advised | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
how to improve security against shoplifters. Figures show that | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
shoplifting has been on the increase. Some attribute that to | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
the economic down turn. Operation action is running only here in | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
Torbay, but if it is seen as a success, it could be introduced in | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
other towns across Devon and Cornwall. Cases of the stomach bug | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
Norovirus are starting to appear in Cornwall. The Cornwall and Isles of | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
Scilly Primary Care Trust is warning people with sickness and | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
diarrhoea not to visit hospitals or other health care centres. They're | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
advising people to wash their hands frequently and not to handle or | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
prepare food. A company which provides home care in Cornwall has | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
gone into liquidation. All Seasons, based in Truro also provided | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
supported living services for 40 people on behalf of Cornwall | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
Council. Staff have been laid off and the council is rearranging care. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
The Devon based tile manufacturer British Ceramic Tile has become one | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
of the biggest tile companies in the UK after buying a firm in | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
Yorkshire. But the Newton Abbot based company says the state of the | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
economy means that up to a quarter of the joint workforce could be | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
made redundant. Two South West councils are placing children in | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
their care at risk of significant harm according to Ofsted's annual | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
report. Cornwall and Torbay were among nine local authorities judged | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
inadequate when it comes to safeguarding children. Cornwall | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
says it is working to improve services and Torbay says some | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
improvements have already been made. A dental surgery in Devon is | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
offering free mouth cancer checks for patients. It follows a 50% rise | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
in the number of people developing the disease over the past decade. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Doctors say early treatment could save the lives of nine out of ten | :10:45. | :10:55. | |
:10:55. | :10:58. | ||
sufferers. Spotlight's Johnny This is what kept Keith sane in the | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
six months after several operations to remove cancerous tissue from his | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
mouth. He was lucky, to catch the disease before it spread. They fast | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
tracked me. Which again I didn't think nothing much of it. But the | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
reason was quite ease ly to understand, the cancer was moving | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
rapidly. The plain symptoms are mouth ulcers that haven't healed | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
within three weeks. Red or white patches in the mouth and on the | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
tongue and any unusual swellings. Regular dental check ups are the | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
best way to protect the disease. One practice is offering free | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
checks. It is one of the most important things we can can do for | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
a patient, obviously it is important to check their teeth and | :11:50. | :12:00. | |
general dental health. But if we can spot an area here and diagnose | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
something early, you can reduce the problems and increase the outom of | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
that patient. 6,000 people in the UK will develop mouth cancer this | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
year. Early diagnosis could extend the lives of 5,5 hundred of them. | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Coming up: How a campaign for a new swimming pool which started before | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
the Second World War is finally bearing fruit. Plus the new man in | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
charge at Plymouth Albion - we'll hear from Peter Drewett. And there | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
are trees still with leaves on, but I think tonight will be the first | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
proper frost of the winter. I will have all the details later in the | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
programme. First Great Western is introducing almost 50 extra | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
carriages to ease passenger congestion on its main routes. But | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
only two of those will be coming to the Southwest. A single extra | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
carriage will be added to trains from Paignton through Exeter to | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
Barnstaple with another available on the Falmouth branch line. From | :12:59. | :13:09. | |
:13:09. | :13:09. | ||
Cornwall, Spotlight's David George reports. This is the 07.50 service | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
to Truro and as usual it is busy. There is soon standing room only. | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
But there are another three stations. This overcrowding is a | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
regular occurrence during the school term. Sometimes people are | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
left behind. This train is in part of -- a victim of its success. The | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
increase in passenger numb% due to the introduction of a half hourly | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
service. Good new force company, but uncomfortable for passengers. | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
It is really cramped and it is not a nice experience to get to work | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
and you have spent 25 mince cramped on a train. It is busy and | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
sometimes we can't get on and then have to pay for the bus, the bus | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
won't let us on with the train tickets, even though it is the same | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
company. Today the company's boss announced extra carriages. It will | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
add a small amount of extra capacity. There will be an extra | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
carriage and the very business branch line that we operate which | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
is one of fastest growing lines in the country, will gain an extra | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
carriage that. Doubles capacity. But that is only two extra carriage | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
for Devon and Cornwall with most of the investment going into the main | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
:14:42. | :14:43. | ||
line from Reading to Paddington. I have called a meeting and we are | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
going to discuss the franchise and capacity issues. I am sure are | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
rising from that we will want to lobby government again to say it is | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
inadequate and that the franchisees to take into account are concerned | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
about the service. Meanwhile, passengers will have to wait until | :15:07. | :15:17. | |
:15:17. | :15:21. | ||
the spring for their extra carriage. Today's announcement is big news | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
for some commuters. Why only two extra carriages for the region? | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
have seen a phenomenal growth around local services. We have 10 | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
of the fastest growing branch lines. The vehicles that have been | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
announced today as coming to us are going to the routes which have the | :15:43. | :15:52. | |
busy services. It is good to see busy capacity to relieve crowding | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
and keep the growth going. Robin Tevez and has pointed out today | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
that money was made available to increase his services, so you | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
benefited -- benefited with increased passenger numbers. | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
Cornwall Council is stumping up �60,000 are worth the extra | :16:13. | :16:22. | |
carriage in Falmouth. Why are tax payers funding mess? It helps the | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
local economy, that's the whole point. We are seen passenger | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
numbers are rising rapidly. Commercially, you are benefiting. | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
Why are you not paying for the extra carriage? Why are Cornwall's | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
council tax payers having to stump up? It comes from the Department of | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
Transport, ourselves and Cornwall Council. These are not profitable | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
services so there has to be revenue support to make it possible to | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
operate them. It is good we have been able to achieve that growth. | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
What about the prospects for extra carriages elsewhere. We had an e- | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
mail from John. He says, the Penzance to Plymouth service often | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
consists of two old carriages. It pauses on the way up, and gets more | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
overcrowded. Are their chances of any war carriages on those sorts of | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
lines? The growth is happening across Cornwall. We will be more | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
because as time goes by. The announcement is to provide extra | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
capacity on the farm wife Lin and services in Devon, so we are | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
dealing with the most crowded services. When you except his of | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
the one is overcrowded? Many services are busy for short | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
distances some part of the journey. By and not enough to get extra | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
capacity? Not at this stage. There are few spare carriages available | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
in the country. We have effectively got the last two. It would be some | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
time before others were available. You can rest assured we will do our | :18:00. | :18:07. | |
utmost to secure or them. We would like to hear your views on railway | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
services in the region. The cost of revamping Exeter's | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
Royal Albert Museum has risen to around �24 million, nearly 9 | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
million more than estimated. This week sees the fourth anniversary of | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
the museum's closure for its refurbishment. It's due to re-open | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
next month. The installation of 120 bat boxes | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
in woodland around Burrator Reservoir has attracted 124 bats of | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
five different species in a year. The scheme, which was set up by | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
South West Water, the Lakes Trust and the Devon Bat Group, wanted to | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
increase the number of bats seen there. Boxes of different sizes and | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
types were put up last October and monitored every month for a year. | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
A collection started before the Second World War to fund a public | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
swimming pool is finally paying off. Some of money raised all those | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
years ago is, at last, being used to help fund a new pool for | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
Dorchester. But why has it taken so long? Our reporter Simon Clemison | :18:59. | :19:09. | |
:19:09. | :19:11. | ||
has been investigating. In the 1930s and 40s in Dorchester | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
there were no public baths. A few years earlier, a swimming pool of | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
sorts had been built along the river Frome. One of the children | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
taking a dip in the same stretch of water was Brian Clarke. That was | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
our only way to learn to swim. If we did not go to the river we did | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
not learn to swim and we made full use of it. We swam and fish in it. | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
TV in the money is being put to good use? -- do you feel? And there | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
have been a lot of murmurs from locals in recent years about what | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
has happened to the money and the swimming pool never materialised. | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
Now it is going to be there. It was the children of this town who first | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
started the collection 80 years ago. They used to each paying a penny | :20:00. | :20:07. | |
and the party eventually grew and grew. -- paying a penny. Some of | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
the money was spent on a learner swimming pool. When you think it | :20:12. | :20:21. | |
will be open? This spring of next year. With �70,000 still left, the | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
mayor made a sizable donations. If you thought he was a Johnny-come- | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
lately you might like to know that in fact, he has been looking after | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
the fund since 1973, when he was first mayor. He even put money in | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
himself as a child. Today I can see a great achievement for Dorchester | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
or to have a swimming pool, a sports complex, here in the middle | :20:49. | :20:59. | |
of the town. And it is your old pennies that helped pay for it! | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
that's right. The tyres are ready and waiting. The leisure centre | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
should be open in at the spring. With some origins in the beginning | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
of the last century, there is something to think about it to swim | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
up and down. Some sports news now and Plymouth | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
Albion today unveiled former Exeter Chiefs boss Pete Drewett as their | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
new head coach and director of rugby. He will replace Graham Dawe, | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
who was sacked over the weekend after 12-and-a-half years in charge. | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
Spotlight's Brent Pilnick reports. Leading his team out for the first | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
time, Pete Drewitt was all smiles. The former Exeter Chiefs boss | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
signed a deal to the director of rugby and head coach until 2015. He | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
replaces Graham Dawe, who was sacked after 12.5 years after -- as | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
chairman of rugby. I do not know a lot about what Graham did. I have | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
respect for him. My role is to improve players' and improve the | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
unit and the team. It is about getting well organised on and off | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
the field and working hard to achieve that. There are no short | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
cuts. Graham Dawe was a much-loved and respected figure and many will | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
question why he was let go halfway through the season. For the people | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
at Plymouth Albion who rub -- run the club it was simple, he was | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
sacked because results were not good enough. We were not happy with | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
our position. We were 10 points of the promotion group. We needed to | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
act now if we were going to have a chance to turn it around. Pete | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
Drewitt has something of a baptism of fire. Albion play for out of the | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
five top sides in their next four league games, including a derby | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
with Cornish Pirates. If he can get some wins then the deal he has | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
shaken hands on may improve to be a very astute one. | :23:09. | :23:18. | |
Plymouth Argyle hope to avoid an FA Cup upset tonight. They try for a | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
second time to overcome non-league Stourbridge in a first round replay. | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
The ground of the Midlands club is too small to cater for the | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
Pilgrims' team coach, so the players had to walk from outside | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
the venue and into the stadium. The original tie ended in a three-all | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
:23:40. | :23:40. | ||
draw. There's full coverage on BBC The exercise will do them good! It | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
is a bit of a warm-up. Is it tonight that the proper frost | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
of the winter? I think it probably is. You will need to scrape your | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
windscreen tomorrow. Low temperatures tonight and widely, we | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
will see frost. The lowest temperatures from East Devon into | :24:02. | :24:12. | |
:24:12. | :24:12. | ||
Somerset. All of us will have a cold night, the coldest so far. | :24:12. | :24:22. | |
Earlier, we have cloud and showers. It stretched from Spain right up to | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
England. There is high pressure across southern Britain tomorrow, | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
bringing dry weather and sunshine. A frosty start for some. Earlier in | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
the week -- later in the week, low pressure coming in bringing rain on | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
Thursday night into Friday morning. Wind coming in with a strong | :24:48. | :24:58. | |
:24:58. | :24:58. | ||
southerly breeze. Until then, a relatively quiet. This morning was | :24:58. | :25:07. | |
grey and misty. There was some brightness coming through. There | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
was hardly a breath of wind. The wind will be light again tonight | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
there is a possibility of some mist and fog patches forming here and | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
there. Hopefully, the same location tomorrow, more in sunshine. Clear | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
sky overnight at tonight. Mist and fog forming and some frost | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
overnight. We have not seen this since the early part of the year. | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
The wind like becoming south- westerly. -- the wind light, | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
:25:54. | :25:58. | ||
becoming south-westerly. As we move through tomorrow the frost will | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
disappear under sunshine will come out and warm up. There is always | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
the risk of cooler conditions around those areas that started off | :26:09. | :26:19. | |
:26:19. | :26:20. | ||
frosty. For the rest of us, a breeze in the second half of the | :26:20. | :26:30. | |
:26:30. | :27:04. | ||
day. South-westerly wind bringing A mixture over the next few days. | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
Expect fine weather on Thursday, clouding over and becoming breezy, | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
