:06:59. > :07:00.We have a way to assess where there are immediate

:07:58. > :08:02.changes in relation to heading practice, which one would think
:08:03. > :08:08.And certainly colleagues were quite sceptical
:08:09. > :08:10.about the study, about whether we would find

:11:38. > :11:40.Stretching over the view of the mountains. As far as the night is
:11:41. > :11:46.concerned, a lot of dry weather. A widespread forgery spreading across
:11:47. > :11:51.the north. One or two showers across eastern areas, they will continue to
:11:52. > :11:54.die away. It will be mainly dry, Miss and Ford patches forming. High
:11:55. > :11:59.pressure still holding onto what's the moral. It is already cold, it
:12:00. > :12:03.will still be called tomorrow. The main focus of the forward will be

:12:10. > :12:12.country -- half. Already, temperatures higher at one the West

:12:17. > :12:21.the morning, a glorious day. Mist and fog and burning of, some patch
:12:22. > :12:27.is quite stubborn but we lose any showers along the coast with a
:12:28. > :12:35.better day to come than today. Still a brisk wind but just a few showers
:12:36. > :12:41.across Shetland. Temperatures at around 10-12dC. The northern half of

:13:11. > :13:16.one of those were a while. Not too much on the front, not exactly heavy
:13:17. > :13:23.rain but a bit windy and some patchy showers. The wind and the rain do
:13:24. > :13:25.clear away, but it will not be brightening up any time soon.
