Hanging up in frustration: The calls to the police being abandoned | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
because it takes too long to answer them. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Good evening. Spotlight has discovered almost 250 callers a | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
month to the non`urgent 101 number are unable to get through. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
Also tonight: I waited and waited for someone to answer but then it | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
went dead. Falling foul of the law for feeding birds ` A pensioner says | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
she won't pay her ?80 fine despite several warnings. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |

celebrates Flora Day. Hundreds of callers trying to report | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
crimes and other important information to Devon and Cornwall | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
Police are hanging up in frustration, often after suffering | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
long waits, according to figures obtained by the BBC. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Using the Freedom of Information Act, we found, on average, almost | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
250 calls to the non`urgent 101 number are being abandoned every | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
month. The phone number allows people to report matters to the | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
police which aren't emergencies, such as anti`social behaviour, or | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
intelligence about crimes. The service has been controversial since | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
it was introduced almost three years ago. One shopkeeper who tried twice | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
to report a prowler, but gave up after waiting ten minutes, described | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
the 101 service as "absolutely appalling". Our home affairs | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
correspondent Simon Hall has this exclusive report. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Shopkeeper Cath Andrews rang 101 twice to report a prowler. | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
She spent up to ten minutes waiting before giving up, tried again, had | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
to wait again, and then got cut off. We showed her the figures, | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
indicating hundreds of calls to Devon and Cornwall police's101 | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
number are being abandoned each month. That is absolutely appalling. | :02:05. | :02:16. | |
It is absolutely appalling. And they didn't even give me a call back. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
They had my telephone number and they never give me a call back, they | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
never looked up the number, they had my businessmen, they could have | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
looked it up on the website if they had lost the business number, but | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
they never had `` they never called me back. The 101 and 999 numbers | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
share the same call centres in Exeter and Plymouth. Devon and | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Cornwall police say the vast majority of 101 calls are answered | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
within 30 seconds. But sometimes demand on the 999 service means it | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
must be prioritised. The way abandoned calls to 101 are counted | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
was changed in June last year.But in the ten months since, figures we've | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
obtained show an average of almost 250 calls a month being | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
abandoned.The Police and Crime Commissioner, Tony Hogg, told us | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
he's concerned some callers are dissatisfied with 101, and has | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
committed to undertaking a further review of the service. The stuff you | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
do a fantastic job under pressure and had to prioritise, so throughout | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
each day we will prioritise 909 above other enquiries. We provide a | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
switchboard service, and from survey reports that we have conducted over | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
96% reported that they were extremely satisfied with the service | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
that they received. The Police and Crime Commissioners said he is | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
concerned that some collars or dissatisfied with 101, and has | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
decided to undertake a further review of the service. Since it was | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
introduced over three years ago, the 101 number has been controversial. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
Critics fear it could confuse the public. These new figures will add | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
to that debate. Teachers and parents in Cornwall are | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
condemning council plans to make 70 music tutors redundant. The council | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
says it can no longer afford to subsidise extra instrument lessons. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Other authorities in the region have already contracted out music tuition | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
and are employing self`employed tutors. Now Cornish schools will | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
have to do the same as Anna Varle reports. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Oscar has been learning the cornet for six years. His lessons and a | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
number of bands he plays with are run by Music Cornwall. This could be | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
about to change. Music is such a big part of my life | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
and I will be really disappointed because half of the musical items | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
that I do will be gone. It's cutting things with the kids | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
that are stuck right in the middle that always get the squeeze, that | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
try their best, do their best, stick at it, learn an instrument and try | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
and give something back to the community and performances, and all | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
of a sudden it is gone. The service employs 70 teachers who | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
provide music tuition in schools across the county. Parents pay ?39 | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
for a one`to`one and ?5 for a group lesson. But despite these charges, | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Cornwall Council has said it has subsidised services by ?450,000 over | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
the last two years. Because of this, they want the teachers to become | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
self`employed. David worked for the service for 35 years. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
Cornwall is one of the leaders of instrumental music making in this | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
country. And to turn it into a brokerage where people have to pay | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
money to join it is not the way of bringing qualities into the lives of | :05:29. | :05:38. | |
young people. Cornwall Council has said it is | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
going to have to meet make cuts of ?196 million over the next five | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
years. It says it cannot go on subsidising music tuition. If it | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
does so, it is going to have to cut other services for children and | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
young people. The council is now consulting with staff and unions | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
with a view to making the changes by next year. Anna Varle, BBC | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Spotlight. A woman's been fined ?80 for feeding | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
the birds in Sidmouth. Rose Rodell has specifically been given a fixed | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
penalty notice for the littering of peanuts while feeding pigeons. The | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
local authority says feeding birds could attract vermin and seagulls, | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
which have attacked people in the town. John Henderson reports. | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
Everywhere you look in Sidmouth, there are signs like this. Don't | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
feed the birds. Yesterday Rose Rodell did exactly that and was | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
given an 80 pound fixed penalty. Was I upset or angry? Yes, I was | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
upset. BBC Spotlight filmed Rose last year, giving some homing | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
pigeons, and a seagull peanuts. She says she always sweeps up any | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
unwanted food. But on Wednesday an enforcement officer pounced. | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
She said we're going to put this penalty on to you because you're | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
feeding the birds when we have told you time and again not to feed the | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
birds, and I said I had never been told not to feed the birds, I had | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
always been advised about the birds but never told not to. Rose has been | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
feeding birds for three years. The local authority says it's her warned | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
not to. Rules has been spoken to are numerous occasions over the last few | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
years about feeding, not just the pigeons but also seagulls, and 50 | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
yards that week we have a larger full of fish which the seagulls | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
should be eating, but unfortunately the seagulls don't understand that | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
that is people food only. The seagulls are frightening pests. | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
Faulkner 's have been used to stop seagulls nesting in built`up areas. | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
There are even warnings and takeaway food. So has Rose been treated | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
harshly? You like it is such a shame. Yes, they are a nuisance. | :08:00. | :08:10. | |
They are nesting on my roof. Rose is going to stop feeding the birds but | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
she will not stop `` she will not pay the fine. | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
We've already heard from the larger parties contesting the European | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
Elections here in the South West. With less than a fortnight to go | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
until we all go to the polls our Political Editor Martyn Oates is | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
here to introduce some of the others. There are three other | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
parties and they all have one thing in common. They all want to get us | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
out of the European Union. The English Democrats are campaigning | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
for an English parliament, and they would like to see the end of the | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
union between England and Scotland. Part of my problem as a party is | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
actually increasing awareness of people in England to the fact that | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
they are English. They have been indoctrinated to believe that the | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
British and they can only be British. In fact monitoring | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
programmes say white British. There is no provision to say English. And | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
so that's what we want to do is to increase awareness of being English. | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
The British National party also sees withdrawal from the EU is a key | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
plank amongst its policies. Here are some of their other objectives. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
We would like to stop mass immigration, to turn off the | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
immigration tap. We want to reverse the multicultural society. We want | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
to withdraw from the European Union, reintroduce Christian values into | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
schools, deport illegal immigrants and bogus asylum seekers and most | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
important perhaps is to support UK manufacturing. | :09:32. | :09:45. | |
And finally, a new party holds cap Mac and independence from Europe, it | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
is quite clear what their policies are. This has been founded by a | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
former UKIP MP. We have had enough interference in industry. Farming no | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
longer exists as a way of life, and where farmers are successful, they | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
often have two work in a very prescribed way. We need to engage | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
with the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth stretches right across | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
the world and offers as many trading opportunities that the EU doesn't at | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
present. You can find the full list of | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
parties and candidates standing in the region on the BBC's website. | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
One of the UK's rarest moths has taken up residence at a country park | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
in Cornwall. The Beautiful Pearl, previously found only in Kent, has | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
established a breeding site in the woodlands at Mount Edgecumbe on the | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
banks of the River Tamar. From there Greg Wade reports. | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
Charles Darwin would have been interested in the Beautiful Pearl, | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
and he even sailed from here to the Galapagos. Now the micro`sized moth | :10:47. | :10:56. | |
has got naturalists excited. This is the food for the beautiful | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
pearl. Nobody knows where they came from. It could be Kent or France or | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
even they might have been here, unnoticed for decades. It is very | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
much a declining and Endangered Species Act. In the last 40 or 40 | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
years it has only been known to breed in Kent, because it is... Its | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
food plant is the horn beam and that is native to the south`east of | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
England. Volunteers from the Cornwall Branch of Butterfly | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
Conservation found several caterpillars at the park last | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
summer, but they've had to wait until this spring to confirm that | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
the moth was indeed breeding here. These larger trees, obviously we are | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
getting the seeds which are coming down... The moths depend on a | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
specific tree, the hornbeam to survive and breed. And there's | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
plenty of them at Mount Edgcombe. It had something to do with | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
shipbuilding and that is why they are planted here in the first | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
place, we are not sure. It is nice to have this population on sites, | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
really. When they took the caterpillars away we spent the | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
winter months like expectant parents waiting to confirm whether they wear | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
these moths or not. The rare moths are currently in their chrysalis | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
stage, it's hoped in a few months' time they'll fly again, in the night | :12:13. | :12:16. | |

Surgeons at a South West hospital have been trying out a new gadget | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
which will soon be widely available on the high street, to see if it can | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
help in the way they carry out operations. Google Glass is a device | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
worn like a pair of glasses which can take video and provide the | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
wearer with information on a tiny screen. Torbay Hospital has been | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
using them to help with the training of new surgeons. Our South Devon | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
reporter John Ayres has more. This is Google Glass. In the top | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
corner is a little screen, providing real`time information. Just like a | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
smartphone, it has a video camera, which surgeons here have been using | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
to give trainees a surgeon's eye view of operations. | :12:55. | :13:03. | |
Information can be recorded or transmitted either live or when | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
transferred to storage facilities. At the moment, it is typically used | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
for educational purposes, we are hoping to be able to demonstrate | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
aspects of Orthopaedic surgery to trainees. The glasses themselves | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
have been designed for everyday use. Take a picture. It's use now might | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
be basic, but potentially could provide doctors with new options To | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
use it though, doctors still need the permission of patients. We | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
envisage there being a role for intraoperative scans or x`rays as | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
you operate, allowing the surgeon to focus more on what he is doing | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
rather than having to resort to accessing screens elsewhere to get | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
that information they require. They need the permission of patients to | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
use it, however. It can be filmed while I am fast asleep on the table, | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
and they can gain from that. That is why I said yes to it. Dr George | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
Brighton had to idea to use the glasses at the hospital He managed | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
to obtain a pair on loan for this project, ahead of their release in | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
the UK. We want to be at the forefront of cutting`edge | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
technology, and we want to use that in health care. We know that these | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
things are not going to be the solution to everything, but they do | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
represent new opportunities for us and how we can improve our service | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
and educate our doctors and improve vision care. | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
Potentially the uses are endless. Paramedics could feed back real`time | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
information to A doctors when bringing in an emergency case. | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
There will be data protection issues to resolve before it could ever be | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
rolled on. The information has to be secure, and some people might not | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
like the idea of their image being captured by the glasses. John Ayres, | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
BBC Spotlight, Torquay. A young diver from Plymouth has won | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
a gold medal at her first major international competition in | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
Germany. 13`year`old Victoria Vincent is too young to compete | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
abroad, but was given special dispensation to take part. | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
Spotlight's Janine Jansen has been to meet the talented young diver. | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
Victoria Vincent used to be a gymnast. Now she does gymnastics off | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
the diving board. She's focused. Ambitious. And young. Victoria's | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
just turned 13. For the first time she's represented Great Britain in | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
the 10m platform in Dresden. Guess what: she took gold. It was just | :15:24. | :15:34. | |
amazing, the best thing ever. I have never heard the national anthem | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
played because I won a condition, and it was like I was doing it for | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
the country, which I was. It was great. Her coach Andy Banks says | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
she's a great talent. He says it's rare to take such a young diver | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
abroad to compete ` and especially rare to return with gold. Very | :15:50. | :15:59. | |
happy. Very steady across the easier dies `` dives, but she's also going | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
up to the higher dives do. She had some fairly high dives and she | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
performed them well. The older girls must have been looking on and seeing | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
who is this young one coming up and giving us a goal. I am very pleased. | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Victoria's aim is to get an Olympic medal. No prizes for guessing who | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
she idolizes. My idol is Tom Daley and Sarah Barrow. | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
She's not the only star from Plymouth ` Tonia and Sarah won | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
Silver in London in the World series. | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
16`year`old Shanice Lobb won gold in Germany, and 18`year`old Francesca | :16:38. | :16:50. | |
Del Celo won bronze. What a talented lot. | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
South West yachtsman Sam Goodchild has today officially named his yacht | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
for the Solitaire Du Figaro race which comes to Plymouth next month. | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
It's the first time the solo French yacht race has come to the South | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
West. More than forty yachts will be competing as Andy Breare reports. | :17:05. | :17:13. | |
Hopefully this won't be the last champagne moment for Sam Goodchild | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
in this year 's Solitaire Du Figaro. His boat was officially christened | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
this morning, named team Plymouth, and Sam is excited that the city | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
will be the first stop in the race. It is really cool to be sailing back | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
into Plymouth. It hasn't been in the UK for over ten years, so for it to | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
come back here, it couldn't be any better. It is great to see my | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
supporters here. I am very excited. Also here today our children from | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
the local primary school who will be following his progress as part of a | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
local project. They had a competition to design a mascot or | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
sand to take with him. This was the winner. Meat stand the shark. I made | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
it red and yellow because that is our colours, and also because at the | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
beach you swim between the red and yellow flags. The race will start at | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
Normandy next month before heading on to Plymouth. They will then make | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
their way down the west coast of France, before finishing in | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
Cherbourg. Sam is competing because he hopes to move on in 2016, so it | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
is a great stepping stone, but more importantly it is great for Plymouth | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
two. Plymouth will enjoy the festivities that are going to go on | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
during that week. Sam came 11th in next year 's `` last year 's edition | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
of the race. It is a bit `` it is hoped that this year he will finish | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
in the top ten. Wet weather doesn't appear to have | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
dampened the enthusiasm of people in Helston as they celebrated their | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
annual Flora Day. The town has been decorated with flowers and greenery | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
and the scent of the traditional Lilly of the Valley was in the air. | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
Spotlight's David George has been watching the dancing. | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
As well as that scent I heard such a bustling and prancing... And then I | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
saw the whole village was dancing. In and out of the houses they came. | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
Old folk, young folk, all the same. It is Christmas, birthdays, wedding | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
daze all into one and so much more. It really is. Oh yes, definitely. It | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
is my first time so I am really nervous but really excited as well. | :19:43. | :19:54. | |
I could hear the curious tone of the cornet, clarinet and big trombone, | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
fiddle, 'cello, big bass drum, bassoon, flute and euphonium... I | :19:58. | :20:08. | |
just love the sound of the band going past it just makes me feel | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
tingly and I love it. A lot of people don't get it but I think you | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
have two have been brought up with it to get Flora Day, really. Every | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
boy took a girl 'round the waist and hurried her off in tremendous haste. | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
These are the children from all the skills and surrounding areas. 1200 | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
children altogether, and you can tell which school they come from I | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
be different headdresses and the different ties that the boys are | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
winning. We have the forget`me`nots and Saint Michaels has the blue | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
flowers, and some others have red and yellow. The sweet and scented | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
air of the quaint old Cornish town was a bit damp today. It is just | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
confidence, you know. It will turn out to be a glorious day in the end. | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
Dancing here, prancing there. Jigging, jogging ev'rywhere. Up and | :21:10. | :21:28. | |
down and around the town. Hurrah. David George, with apologies to | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
Katie Moss who wrote the words in 1911. | :21:33. | :21:45. | |
That looks stunning. Lovely day. Naughty weather, wasn't it? You may | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
have spotted three BBC presenters. Well done to all of them. Speaking | :21:54. | :22:03. | |
of the weather. The morning centres were affected by the rain, but that | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
is how it goes. I think we will probably find that | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
it is a much brighter day tomorrow, which is good news all net rent. | :22:16. | :22:24. | |
Much drier, sunny spells. Lots of people heading to Dartmoor this | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
weekend. The forecast is not that brilliant. For Friday at least it | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
will be dry, but some heavy rain Friday night and into Saturday, and | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
Saturday could be very blustery with plenty of showers around. Hopefully | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
better visibility from late morning onwards. Lots happening at the | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
moment. A lot of cloud covering the eastern side of the country and some | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
showers are still possible overnight. They will stay with us | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
and tell Don tomorrow. At first light tomorrow we have a new area of | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
pressure heading towards us. It will kill the shower activity off, but | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
the new area of low pressure will be sent and endeavours more wet | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
weather. But you see how fast it moves, so by Saturday it is a mix of | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
showers and blustery conditions. Calder towards the end of the week, | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
too. This was the cloud we saw. There is a lot of low cloud around | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
this evening, particularly through the English Channel. There is still | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
the risk of the few showers. This was earlier today, when we did have | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
some reasonable weather. But it is pretty great. These were filmed by | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
our cameraman Andy. The showers were never too far away. But you can see | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
the horizon here and VCs are being chopped up quite a bit by the | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
strength of the wind. Let's look at overnight tonight. Later on any | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
night, there will be some clearer skies, but towards Don tomorrow | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
morning this line of showers will brush along the coastline, and | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
overnight tempter is now lower than nine or 10 Celsius. For tomorrow, a | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
much brighter and better day. Some showers in the morning but they will | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
fade away by afternoon and we will have spells of sunshine. Quite a lot | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
of cloud around but it should be dry. A top temperature of 14 or 15 | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
Celsius. But you will need to wrap up early `` warmly due to the | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
wind`chill. Chance of the few showers, thicker cloud arriving late | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
in the evening to bring rain across the country. For our surfers, it is | :24:41. | :24:51. | |
messy. The onshore winds have chopped up the sea. Waves of between | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
three and six feet. Quite messy. As for the coastal waters, mainly fair | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
till late in the day, with good visibility. Watch out for that rain | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
on Friday night and into Saturday. Saturday and Sunday, both days | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
sherry and windy and quite a bit colder. Have a nice evening. Thank | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
you very much. That is all from us. We will be back at 6:30pm tomorrow. | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
Goodbye. | :25:27. | :25:33. |
