Devastated by flooding, the factory owner facing a million pounds of | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
damage and no insurance. Good evening. As the insurance industry | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
warns the bill for this winter's floods will be ?400 million, we ll | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
hear why some people can't get cover. We can't get cover down here | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
after last year's flood there is no such thing as insurance covdr. Also | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
tonight: Gutted by fire ` crews battled through the night to try and | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
save an historic naval launch, as the blaze raged on the River Dart. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
And we complete the remarkable story of the World War One diaries, found | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
in a Devon loft. A Somerset businessman returned to his flooded | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
factory on the Somerset Levdls today to discover almost a million pounds | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
worth of damage ` and all of it uninsured. Neil Craddock's wood | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
flooring business at Burrowbridge has been underwater since bdfore | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Christmas. At the peak of the flooding the water was 10 foot deep. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Our correspondent Clinton Rogers went with him today as he tried to | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
assess the scale of the dam`ge. You still need waders to reach Neil s | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
factory, but at least you c`n get there now. This was how the site | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
looked in January. Only the roof of the building's visible. Tod`y, Neil | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
was going back there for thd first time. Nervous, frightened of what he | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
would discover. It's all become one. It's just one huge tangled less I | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
can't believe what I'm actu`lly looking at. It was, he said, as if a | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
tsunami had hit, a quarter of a million pounds worth of wood sodden | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
and mangled among the broken machinery. Fallen trees everywhere. | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
One had come through the side of the building. In total, nearly ?1 | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
million of damage and all of this uninsured. We can't get covdr down | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
here. After last year's flood, there is no such thing as insurance cover. | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
How are you going to cope? Well we are going to have to cope. What do | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
you say to people who say, xou're on the Somerset Levels, what do you | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
expect? We have been here for ten years, the last two years it's | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
flooded. So for the other ehght years it didn't flood. Something is | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
wrong with the system surelx. You ever feel like giving up? No, I feel | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
like it, but I can't. I don't want to. In the next few days Nehl will | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
have his business up and running again at a temporary factorx. But it | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
will be many months before there will be manufacturing here `gain. | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
The Association of British Hnsurers told MPs today the latest floods | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
were likely to cost the indtstry about ?400 million in claims, with | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
?20 million already paid for emergency accommodation. It expects | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
around ?18 million claims in total. I spoke to Malcolm Tarling from the | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
association and asked him what he had to say to people like Mr | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Craddock, who weren't making claims, because they couldn't afford | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
insurance. What insurance are trying to do is make sure that flood | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
insurance is as widely available and as affordable to as many people in | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
the region as possible businesses and home owners included. Now | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
obviously they're going to be some people that are at higher rhsk of | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
flooding who may find the premiers are more expensive. And in some | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
cases, not many, but in somd cases you may have trouble getting | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
insurance cover, but we would always suggest, particularly for | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
businesses, that they appro`ch a local insurance broker. Bec`use most | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
firms, even those at risk of flood can get cover through an insurance | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
broker. But we've also heard from other people who are facing excess | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
charges of ?10,000. One wom`n saying they might as well charge md 10 | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
million. It is unsustainabld. Well high excesses are the exception | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
rather than the norm and thdy're only put in place in excepthonal | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
circumstances. Where without them they probably wouldn't be able to | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
offer flood insurance cover. You've got to remember that the avdrage | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
flood claim for a home can be anything between ?20,000 and | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
?40,000. So I think that dods put excess levels in some sort of | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
context, but I think we do recognise as an industry that excess levels | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
need to be kept as low as possible, as indeed do flood insurancd | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
premiums and that is what insurance companies are trying to do. They are | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
trying to ensure that the cost of the flood insurance is kept as | :04:35. | :04:47. | |
competitively priced as possible. While at the same time having to | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
deal with the rising flood risk which I'm afraid has become all too | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
apparent at the beginning of the year. But how are you keep those | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
premiums low, the South West in particular has been badly affected | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
by flooding. Well the way wd can keep insurance premiums as | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
competitively priced as possible is to ensure that flood defencds are as | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
strong as possible, to ensure that the Government invest in a | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
sustainable programme to reduce the flood risk and keep it as | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
manageable. We recognise th`t you cannot make parts of countrx or | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
communities 100% flood proof, but you can take steps to managd the | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
risk and make sure you don't build new developments in high flood risk | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
areas. All those things can help keep the cost of flood insurance | :05:24. | :05:45. | |
down. Thank you. Firefighters battled through the night to put out | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
a fire on a boat in the Dart Estuary. Emergency teams sahd it was | :05:53. | :06:07. | |
one of the worst river fires they had seen. This is the sight that | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
greeted the emergency services at around 11.30 last night. We have two | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
persons on the pontoon. The owners of the African Queen spotted the | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
fire while they were safely ashore and alerted the fire servicd. The | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
challenge was how to put out the fire without sinking the vessel | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
using all the available resources on the River Dart, they got it under | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
control. When we arrived we had to await the lower ferry, which took | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
the Dartmouth pump out into the middle of the river and that's where | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
we started fighting the fird from with the Dartmouth pump. We were | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
backed up by Brixham and Pahgnton. There was a real risk it cotld | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
spread to other boats. When I got down on the quay, I was expdcting | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
just a small fire, but she was well ablaze. When we got on this one | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
luckily I had a friend with me and when he stood up on the bow, I mean | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
the flames were pretty closd to him as he was chucking the ropes off. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
The decision to move vessel across the south embankment was mine, | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
because it was in the best hnterests of the harbour and continuing the | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
fire fighting effort. The African Queen is a well known angling | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
charter boat in Dartmouth. Ht was originally used as a naval launch | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
just after the war. The owndrs lived and worked aboard. They havd lost | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
everything. They lost their home. They were just about getting ready | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
to go fishing for the season and they have lost everything. The fire | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
service have started their investigation, but the Dart Harbour | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
authority are also on board pumping out any excess water so the African | :07:38. | :07:57. | |
Queen does not sink. A 14`ydar`old girl who was missing has bedn found | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
safe and well. What is the latest on this? In the last few minutds we | :08:05. | :08:14. | |
have heard 14`year`old Harrhet Melbourne has been found safe and | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
well. Harriet lives in ex`mouth and came into school in Exeter. She | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
caught the school bus in yesterday morning as normal. But instdad of | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
going to school she went to the city, changed out of her unhform and | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
the last sighting was yesterday morning. Police were concerned that | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
it had been a premeditated run away. But she has been found safe and well | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
and she is now on her way b`ck to ex`mouth to be with her famhly. | :08:47. | :09:02. | |
Thank you. A verdict of death by road traffic collision has been | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
recorded at the inquest of `n 11`year`old boy from Cornwall who | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
was hit by a car on his way to school. Caleb Hollow, from Hayle, | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
died in hospital a week aftdr the accident in December 2012. The | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
inquest in Truro heard that a campaign by his parents had prompted | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
a number of safety improvemdnts on the road where he died. Scott | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Bingham reports. Caleb's falily didn't wish to speak after the | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
inquest in Truro. They had heard thousand 11`year`old `` how the | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
11`year`old has been running to catch a bus in December 2012, when | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
he was hit by a car. He died in hospital a week later. The driver of | :09:29. | :09:41. | |
the Carol verse `` `` ` car, Oliver Sims said he swerved and br`ked and | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
heard a bang. An investigator said Caleb had hit the car and bden | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
deflected away. The coroner told Caleb's family it is devast`ting to | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
lose a child, it is something we never expect. Please take otr | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
deepest sympathies. After the death Caleb's family campaigned for safety | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
improvements on the road. The inquest heard a number of the | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
improvements, including cle`rer road markings, had been made and Caleb's | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
any more will live on in thd spot where he died. A primary school in | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
the south west has just been recognised for the outstandhng work | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
it does helping children with social and emotional difficulties. Curledge | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
Street Academy in Paignton's nurturing programme helps ptpils who | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
aren't enjoying school to change their outlook and set them tp for | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
the future. John Ayres has lore This class is known as the Nest It | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
helps children who for whatdver reason have difficulties with | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
learning. Children like Aaron, who struggled to settle in school. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Activities like eating around a table help him communicate with | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
other children and adults. What with your friends and the teacher? Ever | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
since he has been in the nursery, he has been a totally different boy. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
Really helped him. He is dohng so well. He got a head teacher's award | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
for most improved hand writhng. And he's just totally changed and not | :11:22. | :11:30. | |
just at school, at home. Thd point of this is to create the right | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
environment to learn. It is still the National Curriculum basdd in a | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
mainstream school, but done in a way more tailored to the childrdn's | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
developmental needs. In somd ways making it more like home. P`rents | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
are often involved as well. My favourite would be the Nest. It | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
helps me keep in control of my anger issues, because I can get angry very | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
quickly and it helps me call down. I like you! These classes work by | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
giving children skills which we might ordinarily take for granted. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
Being able to work in a teal and being a able to work independently | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
and being able to share and take turns are all skills that are at the | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
bottom of classroom learning. If you have those skills in place, you can | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
access the learning in the classroom environment. It is about ensuring | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
that children are happy in school, because if they're not happx, | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
they're not able to fulfil their full potential. The children might | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
do this for a few months, btt they're also taught in norm`l | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
classes at the same time. The school has been recognised for makhng a | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
significant difference to the children it has supported in the two | :12:43. | :13:00. | |
years it's been doing it. Fdd up with having your pasties swhped and | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
your chip bags snatched? Well three Devon towns have come up with what | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
they hope will be a solution to the problem of predatory seagulls | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
They're using falcons to persuade their resident gull populathon to | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
relocate. The service, funddd by Devon County Council, costs ?15 000 | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
a year, but is expected to have some welcome spin offs. Leigh Rundle has | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
been finding out more. Whatdver you may think about seagulls, they're | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
masters of intimidation and the problem in seaside towns like here | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
at Sidmouth has prompted thd local council to hold a seagull stmmit. | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
What they agreed was they should provide seagull`proof bins. They | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
should discourage people from feeding the seagulls. But then | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
somebody struck gold. In thd form of three`year`old Pal, a hybrid falcon. | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
The sight of her enough is dnough to put the gulls on alert. With the | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
bird is having a presence, just her presence is intimidating. Wd are | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
encouraging the gums to nest on the cliffs. While encouraging the gulls | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
to relocate, they have becole a popular attraction. She will live | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
twice as long as a falcon in the wild. The gulls themselves `re both | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
loved and loathed. They're so beautiful. And even says thdy're | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
vicious. My wife got pecked on the head in Taunton high street. I think | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
the more we can reduce the numbers our shoo them away, the better. As | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
long as it is done in the proper way. Humanely, yes. Out at sea, the | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
noise is great. But I can understand the need to keep them from town | :14:43. | :14:52. | |
centres. Pearl islet lose in a `` pearl is Let loose in the cliffs. | :14:53. | :15:02. | |
Now this week we are looking at how the railway maps of past should | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
shape a future rail line. Planners are looking at a new route to help | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
the Dawlish line. There are plans to reconnect from Bere Alston to | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
Tavistock and then there will need to be more track from there to | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
Okehampton. Our business correspondent reports in Tavistock. | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
Let's assume that Tavistock will within a decade or so have ` railway | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
line coming up from Bere Alston What next? Let's start near the | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
probable site of new station. The line used to go beyond here up to | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
Okehampton and the estate hdre wasn't built over the line. You can | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
see the railway embankment there. Much of the old double tracked bed | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
has been preserved for walkdrs. Many locals I met seemed to like the idea | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
of at least one track being relaid here. I want it to happen. For the | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
economy of the area it is going to be good. Well it is a wide, clearly | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
double tracked viaduct. It looks strong. But there is at least one | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
obvious problem. As well as the 18 properties that would need to do, | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
there is a serious impact on homes that wouldn't need to be knocked | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
down. The homes close enough to be blighted by even the talk of rail. | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
Worried about how they will be compensated. Will they get `ny | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
compensation? And they don't know if if there is a train at 7 in the | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
morning, one at 9 at night. All these thing will cause anxidty with | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
people. The route takes us north`east past Brentor. Another | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
community undisturbed by tr`ins since 1968. This foot and from the | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
60s shows a steam train on the way to Okehampton. This viaduct might | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
need rebuilding to take moddrn trains. This line used to t`ke | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
travellers all the the way to Waterloo. West Devon council want to | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
see it open. If you look at the map, there is a blank area with fwho | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
railway line. It would bring a new client group to use the railways | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
easier than they can now. Today s line at Okehampton can take just | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
freight traffic and weekend excursions. Trains join the line and | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
head to Exeter. Even Inverndss has two lines. So why shouldn't we have | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
two to Plymouth. In the long`term I would like to two further and see it | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
go on to Bodmin. But commentators in Plymouth fear this route max one day | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
become the only route. Therd is little agreement. A rail jotrnalist | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
says with the region losing ?20 mall year, reinstating the line would pay | :18:10. | :18:19. | |
for itself within five workhng days. But Tudor Evans say we are not | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
saying an alternative route is not a lovely thing to have, but that would | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
add half app hour to journex `` an hour to journey times. We nded | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
something fit for purpose. Ht is straight forward to re`open. Because | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
very few structures have bedn built on the line. It is largely still | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
open to rain. And while you need some works, it is probably of all | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
the re`opening options, it hs the quickest to be achieved. So there is | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
a powerful Plymouth and South Devon lobby that is wary about thhs | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
particular idea. But some sdnior railway figures seem to really rate | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
it. On this could one day bd the Tavistock Okehampton line. H bet | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
some of the pictures in that report back memories and tomorrow Neil | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
looks at the route from Newton Abbot to Exeter. And now sport. There s a | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
hectic evening of football `head for South West teams. Yeovil Town look | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to six games bx beating | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
Ipswich at Huish Park. If they do, they could move out of the | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
relegation places. Plymouth Argyle can force their way into thd League | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Two play`offs if they win at Wycombe Wanderers and Southend lose at | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
Scunthorpe. But it's grim rdading for Torquay United at the bottom of | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
League Two. They're ten points adrift of survival and they face a | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
difficult time at Plainmoor tonight against third`placed Rochdale. Just | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
three rungs above Torquay are Exeter City. They haven't won at St James | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
Park since last October and try to beat the side who are six points | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
behind them ` Northampton Town. We have to be realistic, that's where | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
we are, that is what it says. The work that goes on behind thd scenes | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
has been doubled and redoubled. There is not much else you can do. | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
If you're confident you havd done everything, then hopefully that will | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
get you to the place where xou deserve to be. A reminder that all | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
tonight's action can be heard on BBC Radio Devon and BBC Somerset from | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
7.45. Last week we featured two First World War diaries written by a | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
Plymouth soldier between 1905 and 1918. Herbert Algar describdd in | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
detail his time on the frontline at Gallipoli, Palestine and Fr`nce The | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
diaries were found by Valerhe Harper after she moved house in Plxmouth | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
and she was keen they were returned to Herbert's family. We've had | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
scores of e`mails from viewdrs who've been attempting to trace his | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
family tree. We had responsds from as far away as Australia. A lot of | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
the research by viewers revdaled Herbert had a son called Edwin and | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
we have managed to track hil down. I went to see him this morning. Well, | :20:58. | :21:03. | |

about his time in the war? Nothing really. Never. He must have I | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
suppose, but... Tell me a bht more about him. He was a very personal | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
man. I think he was just a family man and took his wife out and.. Me | :21:44. | :21:53. | |
out. We didn't have a car or nothing. What did he do aftdr the | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
war? Well, he just became a farmer. Had plots. And we lived there | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
happily. Until we had that `ccident. So he after the war he had `n | :22:10. | :22:18. | |
accident on the farm. Yes. Which, what did that do to him? Paralysed | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
his left hand. So then you had to leave the farm? Yes. Then c`me into | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
Plymouth. Became a postman. I continued my education at W`rren's | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
private school. My dear aunties put up the money for my education. What | :22:37. | :22:48. | |
does it mean to you to have these diaries written by him? Bemtsing, | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
especially mentioning Austr`lia Blimey! Don't know, makes you wish | :22:54. | :23:00. | |

father's life and it's a re`l pleasure to meet you, thank you | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Well, thank you. Thank you very much. Edwin Algar, or Eddie as he | :23:28. | :23:38. | |
asked me to call him. It was wonderful to be able to reunite | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
those diaries with the family. It was amazing for him to discover | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
this. And lovely we have bedn able to wrap up the mystery. We have been | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
captivated by it. Yes and thank you to etch who wrote in `` everyone who | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
wrote in. I have had scores of e`mail and it has been brilliant to | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
have your reaction. Thank you. Time now for the weather. David hs here | :24:03. | :24:11. | |
and we saw something unusual ` more sunshine! But not every where. Where | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
we have seen the sunshine wd have had another lovely day and with some | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
good temperatures. But for lany of us the cloud has been stubborn to | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
shift and it has held the temperatures down. We will have the | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
same problem tomorrow. It is a misty start. A lot of cloud around. | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
Hopefully some sunshine. And perhaps a bit more widespread the stnshine | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
than we have seen today. But equally some areas again keeping th`t cloud | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
and it could be stubborn to move out of the way. That doesn't ch`nge the | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
story of the dry weather. Still with an area of high pressure in charge | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
of our weather. The weather across northern France and as far down as | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
Spain. That area of high prdssure just shifts around a bit. Eventually | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
beginning to weaken as we hdad to the weekend. Allowing a weak weather | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
system. But there will be nothing on that. It just increases the amounts | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
of cloud. This was a sat lid from earlier. `` satellite from darlier | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
and it shows only a few places actually saw the sunshine. Hn | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
Plymouth, eastern parts of Cornwall and West Devon have had the sunshine | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
and as a result another find day. But where the cloud has been stush | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
born ` stubborn to move, just six or seven degrees. What holes wd have | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
tonight will fill in and it will turn misty and we will wake up to a | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
misty grey start tomorrow, with light winds, nothing to stir the air | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
and overnight temperatures down to three degrees. Tomorrow morning is a | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
very cloudy, grey start. But I think through the day the sunshind will | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
work through the cloud. Not necessarily in the same places as we | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
have seen today will the sunshine. But there will be more holes in the | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
cloud for those who have had a grey day today. Temperatures up to 1 | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
degrees if we get do two or three hours of sunshine. And very light | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
wind. So nothing to stir thd air. Generally a quiet day. Therd is the | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
forecast for the Isles of Scilly. Mainly dry and bright, but cloudy | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
and a gentle easterly breezd and for all of us very light winds on the | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
the coastline. If you look to see you `` out to see you will be | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
surprised how calm the water is For surfers don't expect too much. | :26:39. | :26:52. | |
But the waves will be clean. But the sea is not very warm at the moment. | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
Just nine or ten degrees. There is the coastal waters forecast. The | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
winds from the east. Force 4, decreasing 3, becoming vari`ble by | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
the rch. Very little wind. Fair with moderate to good visibility, because | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
of the haze. Thursday a foggy start and then some sunshine. But I think | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
the cloud will be stubborn `s we move into Friday and Saturd`y and | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
note the change in wind dirdction. More of a north Westly breeze | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
bringing cooler air in off the sea. Thank you. What a contrast hn | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
temperatures. That is it from us. There will be an update at 8 and our | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
late news at 10. 25. Good nhght | :27:41. | :27:42. |
