Hello from the village of West Overton in Wiltshire, where it's

:00:03.:00:08.

been raining for the last week. So where's all the water gone?

:00:08.:00:11.

On the programme tonight, I am investigating why this river is

:00:11.:00:14.

still dry and I help a local resident face the stark reality of

:00:14.:00:24.
:00:24.:00:25.

her water consumption. I am shocked over it all.

:00:25.:00:28.

Also tonight, BBC meteorologist Nick Miller finds out why, after

:00:28.:00:31.

the wettest April for a 100 years, large parts of the country are

:00:31.:00:41.
:00:41.:00:43.

still in drought. Drought? What drought? It has not stopped raining

:00:43.:00:46.

for the past few weeks. David Whitley heads south to see

:00:46.:00:49.

what lessons we can learn as Spain struggles to cope with an

:00:49.:00:55.

unprecedented spell of dry weather. And I'll be giving the latest

:00:55.:01:04.

weather update for our region at I'm Alastair McKee and this is

:01:04.:01:14.

Inside Out West. After the wet couple of weeks we've

:01:14.:01:16.

just had, you'd be forgiven for wondering why we're still talking

:01:17.:01:22.

about a drought. But take a look at this river at this time of year it

:01:22.:01:25.

should be flowing above my waist. Inside Out has discovered that

:01:25.:01:28.

despite the drought, Thames Water is still pumping out quantities

:01:28.:01:38.
:01:38.:01:39.

which threaten the ecology of the river.

:01:39.:01:42.

The trouble with water, it's been said, is that they're not making

:01:42.:01:51.

any more of it. And yet we're using more than ever before.

:01:51.:01:55.

The water is important to us, but I haven't got a clue where it comes

:01:55.:01:57.

from. You open the tap and it comes out.

:01:57.:01:59.

But after two dry winters, our extraordinary water consumption is

:01:59.:02:05.

starting to hurt. I've stood in the Kennet at

:02:05.:02:08.

Marlborough in the middle of winter, and it is bone dry. That's heart-

:02:08.:02:11.

breaking. And now in the midst of a drought,

:02:11.:02:16.

some of the world's most important habitats are under threat.

:02:16.:02:19.

We have lovely rivers in this country. We're drinking them dry

:02:19.:02:29.
:02:29.:02:37.

cos we don't value them. So you are taking me to another bit of red

:02:38.:02:40.

there? I'm on the River Kennet in

:02:40.:02:43.

Wiltshire, a source of water for tens of thousands of homes and one

:02:43.:02:46.

of Europe's rarest habitats, with a number of protected species.

:02:46.:02:56.

Now, I understand this is a chalkstream? Chalk streams get

:02:56.:03:00.

their water from rainfall that lands on the chalk downs and soaks

:03:01.:03:06.

in through the chalk and six in the underground aquifer, which is all

:03:06.:03:11.

of the gaps like a giant sponge. Then the water comes out in a

:03:11.:03:19.

series of springs. They are home Sturt trout, grayling, kingfishers,

:03:19.:03:24.

they encapsulate what is wonderful about British dreams. We get them

:03:24.:03:29.

here in the UK and a couple in France. That is it in the world. In

:03:29.:03:33.

terms of the world resource, we have them here.

:03:33.:03:36.

The drought has had a noticeable impact on the Kennet. At this time

:03:36.:03:39.

of year river levels should be much higher. In some places it's dried

:03:39.:03:42.

up completely. All of which is having a consequence on the river's

:03:42.:03:52.
:03:52.:03:55.

wildlife. These are water shrimps and in a good survey we would be

:03:55.:03:59.

counting them in their hundreds or thousands. Since the flair has been

:03:59.:04:06.

dropping, we see few of them. These are water larvae. Since the

:04:06.:04:10.

river has been dropping, we've seen fewer and fewer of them. Less food

:04:10.:04:12.

for the birds. But it's not just the drought

:04:12.:04:15.

having an impact on this river. A little way downstream is Thames

:04:15.:04:17.

Water's Axford Borehole, which pumps water out of the underground

:04:17.:04:20.

source of the Kennet. Every day seven million litres of that water

:04:20.:04:25.

is piped to Swindon 15-miles away. For years this abstraction', as

:04:25.:04:28.

it's called, has been blamed for reducing water levels, and

:04:28.:04:38.

threatening wildlife. I've come to South Swindon where a

:04:38.:04:42.

considerable amount of the water from the Kennet ends up. I'm

:04:42.:04:45.

meeting the Warren family, with four children who all like their

:04:45.:04:54.

water. So you are quite a big family here? Do you find you use a

:04:55.:05:02.

lot of water? I try to keep the water down for usage just to help.

:05:02.:05:09.

But Bath, showers, washing machines, they are so many reasons. With

:05:09.:05:13.

baths, I do it every other day and a shower as well. The washing

:05:13.:05:20.

machine goes on once or twice a day send their -- sometimes. Do you

:05:20.:05:25.

know where water comes from? Thames Water. I don't know a lot about how

:05:25.:05:31.

it gets here, it is from the tap. We would like to share a year.

:05:31.:05:38.

would be called. I will lead on. Let's look at the river.

:05:38.:05:42.

We'll be back with the Warrens in a moment. But first, I want to find

:05:42.:05:44.

out more about the row over their water.

:05:44.:05:47.

For years, campaigners have fought with some success to reduce

:05:47.:05:50.

abstraction at the Axford Borehole. More recently even its owner,

:05:50.:05:55.

Thames Water, has admitted the need to take out less.

:05:55.:05:57.

However, in order to cut abstraction and still get water to

:05:57.:06:00.

customers in Swindon, Thames says it needs to extend an existing pipe

:06:00.:06:10.

from a local reservoir, at a cost �10m. But there's a snag.

:06:10.:06:13.

Under the terms of its licence, Thames Water is entitled to

:06:13.:06:20.

compensation if it's asked to stop abstracting. Compensation of �10m.

:06:20.:06:23.

And it's up to the Environment Agency, and thus the taxpayer, to

:06:23.:06:33.
:06:33.:06:33.

come up with the money. It is quite a lot of money so would take a

:06:33.:06:37.

while to accumulate. Let's be clear, we are all working as hard as we

:06:37.:06:42.

can to get this is achieved as quickly as possible. Anyone who has

:06:42.:06:46.

been involved in the legal processes will realise they take

:06:46.:06:50.

time. We are working as hard as we can to get it done as quickly as

:06:50.:06:53.

possible. If they're struggling to find the

:06:53.:07:00.

money, perhaps Thames Water can help them out. Unfortunately we are

:07:00.:07:06.

a regional monopoly regulated tightly and we cannot just say, we

:07:06.:07:09.

want �10 million a more put everyone has built up. Although it

:07:09.:07:13.

wouldn't be much across every customer, only about a penny a

:07:13.:07:17.

month, but we still cannot do that because every penny counts.

:07:17.:07:20.

So, no solution there either. But with the river in drought, the

:07:20.:07:23.

stalemate between Thames Water and the Environment Agency is starting

:07:23.:07:26.

to wear a bit thin. Perhaps the government can step in.

:07:27.:07:30.

Richard Benyon is the Natural Environment Minister. I'm meeting

:07:30.:07:39.

him where the Kennet goes through his constituency. The solution to

:07:39.:07:43.

this that all parties agree on is a new pipe, but all this is taking

:07:43.:07:49.

far too long. Surely you can sort it out now? We want to see this

:07:49.:07:55.

dealt with. The Axford abstraction is the big problem in this river. I

:07:55.:07:59.

have to take a broad view across these issues and across all

:07:59.:08:07.

catchments. In my role as local MP, I want to see the axe third

:08:07.:08:11.

abstractions sorted as quickly as possible. There is no lack of will

:08:11.:08:15.

in government to achieve that. In July, a change in the law comes

:08:15.:08:17.

into force which could stop Thames Water's abstraction without paying

:08:17.:08:20.

them compensation. In the meantime, even with last month's record

:08:20.:08:30.

rainfall, the river is still under threat. If the drought got worse

:08:30.:08:34.

and the Kennet got dry air, which you reduce the amount you are

:08:34.:08:39.

abstracting from Axford? We would reduce it as much as we could, but

:08:39.:08:43.

there would be a point at which we couldn't because we have a duty to

:08:43.:08:52.

supply water. So you would have to keep taking water? Yes we would.

:08:52.:08:56.

have bought due to the River Kennet and this is where the water that

:08:56.:09:01.

you drink comes from. Because there has been a drought, take a look for

:09:01.:09:05.

yourselves. I am back with the Warren family

:09:05.:09:10.

and as promised, I am showing them the source of their drinking water.

:09:10.:09:15.

Although there is not really much water to see. I am actually shocks

:09:15.:09:22.

over it all. It looks like you won't get any water from it. I am

:09:22.:09:28.

quite aware, but it would make me even more aware. Even now, it makes

:09:28.:09:38.
:09:38.:09:38.

you think twice. How careful everyone needs to be. Even if the

:09:38.:09:42.

warrants do manage to use less water, taking it from the Kennet is

:09:42.:09:48.

unsustainable and until a realistic alternative is in place, the impact

:09:48.:09:55.

on this river will not get any better.

:09:55.:09:58.

Coming up we will have a full weather forecast with Ian Ferguson

:09:58.:10:03.

and we are heading off to southern Europe where they know a thing or

:10:03.:10:07.

two about droughts. Look at the waterline in this reservoir. Look

:10:07.:10:13.

how high it should be and how low it is.

:10:13.:10:18.

Here in the West we have been on official drought status for just

:10:18.:10:22.

over two weeks. While it is clear this is due to a lack of rain, what

:10:22.:10:28.

is less clear is why this has happened. BBC meteorologist, myth

:10:28.:10:38.
:10:38.:10:49.

Nick Miller, explains what is going The Lake District is England's

:10:49.:10:53.

wettest place and looking below, there were drought is the last

:10:53.:10:57.

thing that comes to mind. There is rain rich land and reservoirs with

:10:57.:11:02.

billions of litres of water. So with all of this on an island where

:11:02.:11:06.

it has not stopped raining for the past few weeks, how come so much of

:11:06.:11:10.

England is in drought? The Met Office is now looking into

:11:10.:11:15.

what is behind this change in our climate. The first place they are

:11:15.:11:19.

looking is the jet stream but carries a rain bearing weather

:11:19.:11:23.

across the Atlantic. The jet stream is displace that little bit further

:11:23.:11:29.

north. By the time whether France pushed further south into England,

:11:29.:11:32.

it is so short of rainfall and running into higher pressure and

:11:32.:11:40.

not doing the job that we want them to do. At this time of year, we are

:11:40.:11:46.

competing with nature for water. Everything around us is embarked on

:11:46.:11:49.

spring growth. You do not get England's green and pleasant land

:11:50.:11:54.

without it, but whilst everything around us turns green, what you do

:11:54.:11:59.

not see in some parts of the country is even more important and

:11:59.:12:02.

that is underground. It is the water underground, not

:12:02.:12:09.

reservoirs, that supplies 75% of the most populated parts of England.

:12:09.:12:16.

150 miles south-east of Windermere and I am in drowsed territory. I am

:12:16.:12:18.

visiting the National Geological Survey in Nottingham where they

:12:18.:12:23.

monitor the level of England's ground water. Using data from

:12:23.:12:27.

thousands of boreholes, they have created an underground map of

:12:27.:12:32.

Britain. The areas of green, the chalk, becoming a peer into

:12:32.:12:39.

Lincolnshire and look -- Yorkshire and the south-east, it is a really

:12:39.:12:43.

important aquifer. That only gets recharged by rainfall in the winter

:12:43.:12:48.

and we have had to relatively dry winters so we have not had the

:12:48.:12:53.

recharge we would expect. Ground water levels have remained normal,

:12:53.:12:58.

but as you move south east, they have dropped in volume by one-third.

:12:58.:13:03.

In the last couple of years, only four months have been wetter than

:13:03.:13:08.

normal, including April just gone which delivered record rain. To

:13:08.:13:12.

really find out how low our ground water stocks are, last week I

:13:12.:13:19.

joined Andy Mackenzie and his team to do a survey. This is the South

:13:19.:13:24.

Downs. In drought, one of the driest parts of England and below

:13:24.:13:28.

me the most important source of ground water, the chalk aquifer.

:13:28.:13:34.

Today we find out how far we have to go down to find water. The chalk

:13:34.:13:38.

aquifer is a giant pressurise sponge full of water which the

:13:39.:13:42.

Victorians tap with Wells like this one.

:13:42.:13:47.

The water would normally be about 20 metres below ground level.

:13:47.:13:52.

This is the exciting bit, how far down are we? It is looking

:13:52.:13:57.

promising. I can see a reflection at the bottom of the well, but we

:13:57.:14:02.

are only 30 metres below we started. Before long we pass the point where

:14:02.:14:07.

we would normally find water. one of the interesting things is

:14:07.:14:11.

that you are seeing very dry walls. If there was any recharge happening,

:14:11.:14:17.

you would see moisture or all the walls would be listening. They are

:14:17.:14:21.

not. Even though it has been pouring with rain, that rain has

:14:21.:14:28.

not made a jot of difference? it has not. It would take weeks or

:14:28.:14:35.

months for the water to infiltrate, if it did. But it will not. OK, we

:14:35.:14:42.

are just coming up to 34.4. That is the surface of the water. How does

:14:42.:14:47.

it compare with how low it was before? We have 180 years of record,

:14:47.:14:53.

this is the 5th or 6th driest we have seen it in April. Pretty low.

:14:53.:14:58.

The last drought was in 1976 where one dry winter was followed by a

:14:59.:15:04.

hot summer. Now we are saying save water. People were forced to queue

:15:04.:15:08.

in the streets to get water from standpipes. This drought is

:15:08.:15:13.

different, it is not hot and sunny, it is pouring with rain and yet we

:15:13.:15:17.

are told we could be in doubt until Christmas. No one is saying that

:15:17.:15:21.

this rain is not making a difference, of course it is. We

:15:21.:15:26.

have had one of our wettest April's, but that rain has still not reached

:15:26.:15:32.

where many of us get our water from, the aquifers.

:15:32.:15:36.

What the Victorians started were soon expanded to exploit the

:15:36.:15:41.

natural resources of the chalk aquifer. This is Friston aquifer,

:15:41.:15:46.

operated by South West Water. Supplying 2.1 million customers

:15:46.:15:51.

from pumping stations. Kevin, down there, that is so

:15:51.:15:56.

precious water. How low are the aquifers? We are in a serious

:15:56.:16:03.

situation. Our underground aquifers of very low. Rovers are flying in

:16:03.:16:07.

high levels and people think everything is OK, but that is not

:16:07.:16:11.

the case. We have pumps lower down to levels they have never been to

:16:11.:16:21.
:16:21.:16:22.

The level of the church and her groundwater is a third lower than

:16:22.:16:28.

it should be after two dry winters in a row. We have, long way from

:16:28.:16:32.

the Lake District and it seems we're even further from that

:16:32.:16:37.

soaking rain that has been falling above ground. But down here, it is

:16:37.:16:42.

what a rain that matters and we do not -- if we do not get enough next

:16:42.:16:50.

winter, we are all heading into the unknown.

:16:50.:16:57.

With those two dry winters behind us, all eyes are on the third one.

:16:57.:17:03.

It could lead the country is facing severe water shortages. So how

:17:03.:17:10.

prepared are we? David Willey has been to Spain to see how the deal

:17:10.:17:20.
:17:20.:17:20.

was such bright weather. This church has stood here for more

:17:20.:17:25.

than 500 years. But I should not even be able to be here because

:17:25.:17:31.

this is at a reservoir. That spire is usually submerged and the 1000 -

:17:32.:17:36.

- under thousands of tons of water. The reason why it is so dry is

:17:36.:17:46.
:17:46.:17:46.

because Thames Water is suffering from its worst drought. Look how

:17:46.:17:51.

high it should be. Before those trees is where that water should be.

:17:51.:17:59.

That is incredible. Can Thames Water -- and Spain give us a look

:17:59.:18:07.

into the future? The taps and Barcelona almost ran

:18:07.:18:13.

dry and they were forced to share Pen supplies from France. Its 3.5

:18:13.:18:17.

million residents have had to completely change the attitudes

:18:17.:18:22.

towards water. It is incredible that something as simple as water

:18:22.:18:28.

had to be transported in in tankers into Barcelona. What was that like?

:18:28.:18:34.

His it is a first as far as I know. Luckily it did not have to be

:18:35.:18:39.

carried through on a massive scale on a long time. Before that there

:18:39.:18:43.

was a sensation that it was not going to be easy. If the drought

:18:43.:18:48.

was going to last far any longer, there would have to be rations of

:18:48.:18:57.

water. How has affected your future? We realised how precious

:18:57.:19:03.

water was. We had emergency measures. The children talk up

:19:03.:19:09.

about it a lot in school. They had an easier time adapting turning the

:19:09.:19:16.

tap off. Through simple measures like turning off taps, having time

:19:17.:19:20.

showers and teaching at what a conservation in the schools,

:19:20.:19:25.

Barcelona is on his way to be one of the leading cities have been

:19:25.:19:31.

saving water. People here use just 107 litres a day, compared to 150

:19:31.:19:37.

in the UK. Across the city, there have tried to use whatever showers

:19:37.:19:42.

to flush toilets as well as a recycling water in Barcelona's

:19:42.:19:46.

famous fountains. This will not be the first of the last time

:19:47.:19:49.

Barcelona faces drought and that experience four years ago in

:19:49.:19:53.

Barcelona forced everyone to change the way they think about water on

:19:53.:20:00.

every level. And this place was the answer - they built this mass of

:20:00.:20:06.

desalination plant and it is the largest in Europe. By taking sea

:20:06.:20:10.

water from the Mediterranean, the plant can produce 118 million

:20:10.:20:14.

litres of fresh water every day. But that is still only a fifth of

:20:14.:20:22.

the city's needs. So it is used as a stop gap when reservoirs are low.

:20:23.:20:27.

This system is much more secure because of this plant but this is

:20:27.:20:30.

not total security. The plant allows this kind to function

:20:30.:20:40.
:20:40.:20:43.

between rainy periods. If there is a bright, the plant helps. Spain is

:20:43.:20:47.

a world leader in the technology but it is not a perfect solution.

:20:47.:20:53.

What are produced here is very expensive and the Barcelona plant

:20:53.:21:00.

uses enough energy to power a small town. Unlike Spain, this is where

:21:00.:21:04.

we use most of our water, generating electricity in our power

:21:04.:21:09.

stations. Most of the rest, around 40%, is used in our homes and

:21:09.:21:13.

gardens but the trouble is we used to much, more than any other

:21:13.:21:17.

developed countries. As head of water resources at the Environment

:21:17.:21:22.

Agency, it is Trevor Bishop's job to find a solution. So is turning

:21:22.:21:27.

salt water into freshwater the answer? We have one large

:21:28.:21:32.

desalination Mark -- plant near London. I think the likelihood of

:21:32.:21:37.

seeing more of these plants in the next 10 or 20 years is quite high.

:21:37.:21:41.

But we do not want to rely and desalination. It is very expensive,

:21:41.:21:47.

it produces a lot of card and so it is not good for the environment.

:21:47.:21:52.

Here, what gets me down here, is that a option for water companies,

:21:53.:22:00.

to transfer water to drier parts of the country. The Victorians started

:22:00.:22:07.

this as a way to manage water. In the future, moving water around

:22:07.:22:12.

even more, grating connectivity and the networks is going to be part of

:22:12.:22:18.

the answer, but not that all answer. Are we talking about a national

:22:18.:22:24.

grid of water? As far as electricity is concerned, it

:22:24.:22:27.

somewhere is short of electricity, we do not get blackouts and other

:22:27.:22:31.

parts of the country. For we are not talking about a national grid

:22:31.:22:35.

in the same way as we look out gas and electricity. What there is

:22:35.:22:40.

heavy and expensive to move. If we have a big mane of what it from the

:22:40.:22:45.

North of England to the size of England, we do not want to rely on

:22:45.:22:50.

moving around the water -- around the country. It desalination has

:22:50.:22:54.

problems and we should not rely and moving water, what is going to

:22:54.:22:59.

happen if we have a third dry winter? It is difficult to say but

:22:59.:23:05.

we would be no bad place. I do not think we have ever worked out the

:23:05.:23:10.

consequences of three dry winters. But you would be expecting measures

:23:10.:23:13.

to try and conserve water which would be dramatic. There would be

:23:13.:23:17.

standpipes in the street, people's water supply would be cut off, they

:23:17.:23:21.

would have to take containers down to the standpipes. We do not know

:23:21.:23:27.

the numbers involved, but it could be tens of thousands. As far as I

:23:27.:23:30.

am aware, there is no strategic national plan to deal with three

:23:30.:23:34.

dry winters and a role. I would like to be Provan wrong. I would

:23:35.:23:38.

like to think we would have a plan to deal with it, I do not know if

:23:38.:23:43.

we have one. I think our plan is based on hope that it will rain.

:23:43.:23:48.

Hope is a very poor strategy for a risky and important business. So is

:23:48.:23:52.

there a strategy are not? Caroline Spelman is the Environment

:23:52.:23:56.

Secretary. Yes, because we have to have contingency plans. Drought is

:23:56.:24:01.

a natural phenomenon. We have seen this coming and we have been

:24:01.:24:05.

planning for it. What we are putting in place other measures to

:24:05.:24:09.

deal with that. The temporary restrictions on non-essential uses

:24:09.:24:14.

of water in a domestic setting is something that we planned to do in

:24:14.:24:18.

order to conserve water and make sure we do not have to move to more

:24:18.:24:23.

stringent restrictions later. 3.3 billion litres of water which

:24:23.:24:27.

is a quarter of our water is lost every day. Do you think that is

:24:27.:24:32.

acceptable? Away need to encourage the water companies to reduce

:24:32.:24:41.

leakage. -- we need to. She the targets be more stringent? It is

:24:41.:24:45.

the economic regulator that says these targets, that at least are a

:24:45.:24:49.

challenge to the industry to meet. The Government is also pushing

:24:49.:24:53.

water companies to do more to collect up -- connect up supplies

:24:54.:24:58.

across the country. But she says we need to think differently about

:24:58.:25:03.

water and how we use it. When you got a dry country and you explain

:25:03.:25:07.

to them in a country like ours we used drinking water for everything.

:25:07.:25:11.

We wash our closed end drinking water. We wash up with drinking

:25:11.:25:16.

water. They are sometimes surprised by that. Can you guarantee that if

:25:16.:25:20.

we get that there dry winter we will not have water rationing and

:25:20.:25:24.

standpipes in the street? I am not deluded into thinking I can tell

:25:24.:25:28.

you how much rain we are going to get! It is far too early to tell

:25:28.:25:34.

yet whether we are going to get the wet winter we do need. But where it

:25:34.:25:38.

is most unlikely we will have standpipes this year, if we have

:25:38.:25:43.

another dry winter, that becomes more likely. He then the recent

:25:44.:25:48.

heavy rain and floods in the UK, Tocher standpipes may sound

:25:48.:25:52.

extraordinary but as they discovered here in Spain, the world

:25:52.:25:58.

is changing. Climate change and an expanding population means demand

:25:58.:26:02.

for water is set to increase. Pretty soon we will all have to

:26:02.:26:06.

think about drinking water as the pressures and scarce natural

:26:06.:26:15.

resource it really is. David Whiteley was some options

:26:15.:26:24.

open to the future. Before we go, with the weather for the next five

:26:24.:26:26.

days. Hello. As you been hearing, we must

:26:26.:26:30.

not confuse the issues of short- term heavy rain and the problems

:26:30.:26:34.

that has been causing with a longer term problems of the drought.

:26:34.:26:38.

Speaking of heavy rain, we also have a threat of more of that

:26:38.:26:42.

through tonight and into the first half of tomorrow. As we get through

:26:42.:26:45.

the tail end of the week and the weekend, some cloud around and it

:26:46.:26:50.

could turn cooler. Some rain about at times but Bank Holiday Monday it

:26:50.:26:54.

likely to be the wettest spell of the weekend. The Met Office has yet

:26:54.:27:00.

another yellow warning out for us the threat of heavy rain tonight.

:27:00.:27:10.

Write down the M4 corridor. -- all the way down. Potentially another

:27:10.:27:18.

20 are 30 mm of rain falling there. Here is the reasons why it. We have

:27:18.:27:24.

is area of warm air coming in. That is moving across us with an area of

:27:24.:27:31.

heavy rain. It will be embedded heavy rain. It will be embedded

:27:31.:27:38.

with some thunder. It will turn cooler. The orange and yellow get

:27:38.:27:44.

swept aside as we get through their bank holiday Monday, replaced by

:27:44.:27:49.

the blue, temperatures falling back to around ten Celsius. Let's look

:27:49.:27:55.

at how that hard stacks up, tomorrow the heavy rain easing away

:27:55.:28:01.

as the day wears off. Cooler than today. For Friday there should be

:28:01.:28:07.

some patchy and light rain, perhaps some showers on the south coast. In

:28:07.:28:15.

between that, it should be dry. As we get on -- into overnight and

:28:15.:28:21.

Saturday, it will improve later but will be windy air. Sunday looks

:28:21.:28:27.

better all round, but we see the chance of heavier rain on Sunday. -
