Welcome to BBC Channel Islands. where you are on-line. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Welcome to BBC Channel Islands. Tonight, a man from Guernsey is sent | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
to prison for almost a decade for drug dealing. The judge calls him a | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
leash on society. This is a significant seizure for 2013, one of | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
the larger ones that we saw throughout the year. Is this | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Marshland sector real stories of a forced labour camp in Jersey? There | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
was important archaeological evidence beneath our feet as we take | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
a walk through the grounds. And I will be finding out how ancient land | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
has been revealed by the storms "A leech on society". That's the | :00:46. | :01:03. | |
verdict of a Royal Court Judge sentencing a Guernsey man to almost | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
a decade in prison for drug dealing. 22`year`old Ciaran Winterflood had | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
imported ?120,000 worth of class A and B drugs into the island. He s | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
now started a nine`year prison sentence. Mike Wilkins reports. | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
Described in court as a leech on society, 22`year`old Ciaran | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Winterflood is behind bars for drug dealing. In September, officers from | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
the Border Agency and Guernsey Police saw Winterflood collect a | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
rucksack from a wooded area near Colborne Road in St Peter Port. When | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
they approached, he ran off down this road. He threw this rucksack | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
away before he was tackled and arrested close to this government | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
building. The court heard that when Winterflood's rucksack was searched, | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
officers found the class A drug monoacetylmorphine, which has the | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
same effects as heroin. There was also almost 1.5 kilos of cannabis | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
resin as well as a quantity of amphetamine. All this had a street | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
value of more than a ?120,000. This is a significant seizure for 20 3. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
It was certainly one of the larger ones that we saw throughout the | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
year. It is nice to take that amount of drugs off the street and reduce | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
the harm to the general public. While summing up the case in court, | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Judge Finch said: "People who look to make money from the drug trade | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
are leeches on society." Winterflood broke the law and tried to run from | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
it. And now he'll have years in prison to reflect on the risks he | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
took. Up to 30 jobs are at risk in Sark, following news two hotels | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
won't be reopening this year. Aval du Creux and the Petit Champ hotels | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
` both owned by Sark Estate Management ` will remain closed | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
during the tourist season, except during the popular Sark Folk | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Festival. The company says it's down to a slump in tourism in the island, | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
and the lack of a direct boat link to France. After years of waiting, a | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
date's been set for Jersey's discrimination law to come into | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
force. The island's Social Security Minister, Senator Francis Le | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Gresley, wants the law, banning discrimination on the grounds of | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
race, to come into force on the September first. Rules to ensure | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
equality regardless of gender, age and disability will follow. There's | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
a warning from Guernsey's bomb disposal squad that an unexploded | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
ordnance left in the island from the Second World War is getting more | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
dangerous as it degrades over time. Wartime bombs, mines and munitions | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
are still found in both bailiwicks, and have to be disposed of. 29 | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
potentially explosive devices were found last year. The bomb disposal | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
team warned that they remain dangerous. The question is, why | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
didn't it explode initially? There could be something wrong with the | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
fuse, so any sudden movement to open it could initiate it. On the other | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
hand, if sea water or corrosion gets into the container of the shell | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
this can make it explosive, it can form crystals and that can make it | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
even more sensitive. Drivers in Guernsey could see traffic delays on | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
the commute into and out of St Peter Port over the next eight weeks. The | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Weighbridge roundabout has been reduced to a single lane because of | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
extensive works to alleviate flooding in the Truchut. The | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Environment Department says the project will create long delays at | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
peak times and is advising drivers to allow an extra 15`20 minutes to | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
their journeys. You're watching BBC Channel Islands. Still to come. Is | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
this set to transform the world of soccer? Say hello to futsal, the | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
game that will give football a run for its money. And David will have | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
the weather forecast in a few minutes. Stories from the Channel | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Island's time of occupation are still coming to light, and now the | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
secrets of a forced labour camp in Jersey could be revealed if an | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
archaeologist dig is given the go`ahead. Hundreds of war prisoners | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
were held at the site of Lager Wick camp in the east of the island. And | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
as Emma Chambers reports, we could soon know much more about them | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
nearly 70 years after the occupation ended. ID numbers tattooed on their | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
arms and injuries from the work they were forced to do. Life was | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
difficult for those held in slave and forced labour camps during the | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
occupation. In the Channel Islands, it was no different. But little is | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
known of this area of the occupation. There are thousands of | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
stories of the occupation, affecting a large number of people, but the | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
story of slaved and forced workers is an important part of that story | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
and there has been renewed interest in that story, two academics over | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
the last 20 years, and this project is the latest turn in that interest. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
There were 12 camps in Jersey, but now only one remains ` which an | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
excavation project has been proposed for. And it's here in Grouville | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Marsh, just off the coast road, where archaeologists want to dig. | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
This is the site of Lager Wick, a labour camp which held over 200 | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
workers. Local archaeologist Olga Finch told me how important it is to | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
seek the evidence which lies beneath our feet. We are very familiar with | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
the fortifications but this has a very human side. Structures were | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
flimsy, and we are hoping that they will hold and preserve evidence of | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
the daily life of the forced workers, perhaps with objects that | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
they made, things that they may have used may still survive in the | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
ground. The project is awaiting planning permission, as the former | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
camp site is also a site of significance for wildlife which | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
concerns the National Trust for Jersey. If it's given the green | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
light, work will start in April Fascinating stuff. The person | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
leading the project is Dr Gilly Carr, a senior lecturer in | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
archaeology from the University of Cambridge. We spoke to her earlier | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
and asked her why it's important to carry out the dig in Grouville. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
There are no forced labour camps of any sort in the Channel Islands | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
which have been turned into heritage sites commemoratives size or two was | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
size, which is quite unusual, because there are lots of bunkers | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
that have been restored, so it is a way of getting a balance to the | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
heritage. This was a forced labour camp. We had other camps up in | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
Alderney. How are they different? Alderney had admixture of | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
concentration camps and 34 forced labour camps. The camp that we are | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
looking at in Jersey was a forced labour camp. Conditions in Alderney | :07:57. | :08:07. | |
were notoriously awful, but the people in this camp in Jersey would | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
have been paid, but also force, they would have had no choice other than | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
to work for the Germans. The National trust have raised concerns | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
about breeding birds on the Marshland. How are you approaching | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
that? I have been in discussions with the landowners. We have had | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
meetings and spoken about the importance of putting the breeding | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
birds first, so any steps I have taken had been in consultation with | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
them. Given the go`ahead, when does excavation begin? We start with a | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
geological survey, in April, but if the breeding birds arrive at the | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
site, then nothing can happen, because they come first. From what | :08:50. | :08:59. | |
could be explored, to what has already been uncovered. The remains | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
of ancient plants from the neolithic era have been exposed in St Ouen's | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
Bay, after the recent storms shifted the sands that covered it for | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
thousands of years. Our reporter Torri Orchard visited the site at La | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Port in St Ouen. Just this road Sewall, a layer of dark brown pizza | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
stands up and the rest of the beach and shows part of Jersey that are | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
very rarely seen. What is that? I am not an expert on the botany of the | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
deposits but they have been analysed and described and they are the | :09:34. | :09:42. | |
branches and stems of elder, oak, and silver birch. Because of its | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
size it has been quite an attraction with families coming down to take a | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
look. It is an exciting time for Jolly just like Ralph. `` for | :09:54. | :10:04. | |
geologists. It tells us about the era 7000 years ago. From examining | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
at we can find out exactly how the environment has changed since 8 00 | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
years BC to the present. You will have to get to the Bay quickly if | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
you want to see this piece of natural history. It is only exposed | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
rarely after high tides and strong onshore winds and weather. And | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
subsequently, it might not be uncovered for quite some time. It | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
has existed for thousands of years, but it could be visible for only | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
another ten days. For children coming down this year, it could be a | :10:50. | :10:59. | |
reminder of Jersey's ancient past. Lovely to see all those pictures of | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
St Ouen's Bay. It take me back to the summer. But we're not having | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
summer weather this week. David s here with the weather. In the | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
weather we have seen, that must be a grim affair, digging around in the | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
mud with the wind and rain blowing around. | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
We have patchy rain moving through the islands, giving us low cloud | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
overnight, and although tomorrow is quite breezy, it will be misty in | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
the morning and mild, but the main area of rain will not turn up until | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
later in the day. On the plus side tomorrow, temperatures on the rise. | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
This area of low pressure is going to dominate the weather for the rest | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
of this week. We have one weather system moving towards us overnight. | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
Bringing warmer air, Mr low cloud and lifting temperatures, so it will | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
be a mild night. `` missed and low cloud. When that moves through we | :12:00. | :12:09. | |
have low pressure, but a better chance to see some sunshine on | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Thursday and the odd sharp shower as well. Generally, low pressure in | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
charge, so don't expect any prolonged sunshine for the next few | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
days. That rain band will fold away overnight, giving us higher | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
overnight temperatures, around seven Celsius, and a brisk south`westerly | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
breeze. Some low cloud around in the morning, and then, we have a great, | :12:34. | :12:43. | |
misty, cloudy day `` grey. And temperatures higher than they have | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
been, at 11 Celsius. Onto the forecast for the coastal waters | :12:49. | :13:00. | |
And at times of high water. `` and the times of high water. | :13:01. | :13:12. | |
And for the surfers. Not the quieter conditions that we have seen today. | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
The outlook remaining unsettled We have a good chance of some sunshine | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
on Thursday. And I think the best day of the next few will be Friday, | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
with slightly colder air, but the showers and wind returning on | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
Friday. Have a good evening. I will put my beach shorts away for now. | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
That's all from Back where it belongs tonight after | :13:43. | :14:40. | |
almost 50 years. The World War I victory medal awarded to Terry | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
Snow's late father, Gilbert. Kerry, 75, has spent almost every day | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
looking for it since it disappeared. In the 1970s, when my mother sold | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
the house, we lost track of the medals. | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
We could have had them, we never found them. In 1970, there were | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
millions of medals struck and we had no idea where they had gone at all. | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
Kerry's father Cyril then the Middlesex Regiment as a Lewis gunner | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
and fought in northern France in 1918. | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
It was one of the first major battles involving armoured warfare | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
and ultimately led to the end of the war. | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
He was firing at the Germans, EZ, and when he looked around all of his | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
mates were gone, you was on his own. He picked up a Lewis gun, ran down | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
the road but as he came around the bend the Germans had got be hanged | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
him. He started firing at them. He said he chucked the Lewis gun down | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
so he could run faster. One of the bullets broke the butt of his rifle | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
on his back and the other went through and grazed his leg. | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
Kerry found the medal on January the 4th, his 75th birthday. | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
It was being sold by a collector in Lincoln so he snapped it up for ?20. | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
To actually get the medal back means a lot. | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
It is just like my father wanted it. Why did it come on eBay on my | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
birthday? Terry, who is a bit of a collector | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
himself, is still hoping to find his late father's other medal, his | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
British War medal, and he is half expecting that will turn up online, | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
too, even if it takes a few more years. | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
A quick sketch given as a thank you note by Damien Hirst is being put up | :16:43. | :16:59. | |
for auction at Ottery St Mary. The North Devon based artist's work | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
often makes headlines. As Johnny Rutherford reports, the sketch may | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
also cause some debate. Damien Hirst's artwork has often | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
divided critics' opinion, like this figure of a pregnant woman called | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
Verity which caused controversy in Ilfracombe near where the artist | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
lives. His art tends to sell well, so the | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
latest auction of his work has cost some interest as it is being held in | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
Ottery St Mary, the village where it was drawn for a housekeeper when | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
staying with Lord Coleridge. It was gifted to her when he came to | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
stay in 2001 for the famous Ottery St Mary tar barrels, she gave him | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
breakfast in bed, you can see a little tea or coffee stain. It was | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
just by way of a thank you. How much do you think this would go | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
for? Our conservative estimate is around | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
?300`?500, but it could probably make more. | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
It could do quite well, because a year and half ago this shark drawing | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
he drew for his chauffeur sold for ?4500. | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
I thought I would through my own drawing, scribble, take a photocopy | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
of Damien 's sketch and Maine and see what the villagers thought. | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
Would you pay anything for that? Only if it was for charity. | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
No. It is rubbish, it is awful! | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
You don't like it? No. What about this one? | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
I don't like that one, either. Would you pay for that? | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
Probably only if iit was for charity, again. | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
Would you pay for this? I would, probably. | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
If I said to you it was by Damien Hirst? | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
A couple of thousand? What is wrong with mine? | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
That is rubbish. Compared to the Damien Hirst, you know. | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
But I went to art college. But it is still rubbish. Maybe I | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
won't give up my day job just yet. Damien 's sketch goes under the | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
hammer this Thursday afternoon. Towards the end of last year it was | :18:42. | :18:57. | |
confirmed Plymouth would host one of the world's top offshore sailing | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
events ` the Solitaire du Figaro race. The competition will start in | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
Normandy before crossing the channel to Plymouth. From there the fleet | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
will race to Roscoff, then make their way down the French coast, | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
before finishing in Cherbourg. Today we've been given our first | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
glimpse of what's in store for June, when Devon sailor Sam Matson arrived | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
into port as part of his training preparations for the big event. | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
Spotlight's Heidi Davey went along to catch up with him. | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
Four sailors were due to arrive in Plymouth this morning but because of | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
challenging weather conditions only one made it. The others sought | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
shelter before reaching Devon. 22`year`old Sam Matson from Ottery | :19:30. | :19:39. | |
saint merely showed off his skills ahead of the big race. We arrived | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
hoping for quite an easy sale, but how wrong we were. | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
We faced wind strengths of up to 45 knots, big seas and he'll stormed | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
the poorly across for 20 hours. It was quite enduring and quite | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
painful. Sam was a student at Plymouth | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
University and is very `` familiar with the offshore conditions in the | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
South West. I love Plymouth, I love this city, saw the opportunity to do | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
one of the biggest races of my lifetime and arrive in essentially | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
home Watters is going to be really exciting and I hope I am on the | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
startling coming through the finish line over there. | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
But he is under no illusions after yesterday how difficult the race | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
preparations will be. A lot of people say that you quit | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
sailing at least five times per race, and it was yesterday the | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
same, I quite probably around five or six times! | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
But as soon as you arrive you realise why you do it and it is the | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
excitement of coming back into port and getting tell tell stories | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
afterwards. `` getting to tell. When the Solitaire du Figaro race arrives | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
in June it will hopefully be slightly warmer conditions and | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
sailors like Sam and other British sailors will also hopefully be among | :20:56. | :20:56. | |
the top to arrive in the port. In football, Plymouth Argyle have | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
the chance to make progress in the FA Cup tonight when they face Port | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
Vale in a third round replay at Home Park. Top scorer Reuben Reid will be | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
looking to add to his tally of 13 goals this season, as the Pilgrims | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
and Vale battle it out for the right to meet Brighton in round four. | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
There's full coverage on BBC Radio Devon from 7:05pm, which includes an | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
exclusive interview with chairman James Brent. | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
Now if you fancied following in the footsteps of Ronaldo, what would you | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
do? Head to the nearest pitch? Knock a ball around the field? Well, | :21:33. | :21:41. | |
that's not strictly how he went about it, because he started out | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
playing a slightly different game. Yes, he began with futsal. It is | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
like football, but the ball is heavier, the pitch is smaller and | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
there are fewer players. It's fast, it's fun and it's becoming very | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
popular, as Andrea Ormsby has been finding out. | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
It sounds like football and looks like football, but this is fast and | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
furious. It is a smaller ball and 30% less bounce within the ball, so | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
it means there will be a lot of good techniques and skills used in the | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
game. With five players aside the chances of touching the ball in | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
Futsal are said to be more than 200% more than in Normandy Moffat ball | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
with 11 players. `` than in our normal game of | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
football. It developed on the continent and a lot of players came | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
through Futsal, messy, `` Lionel Messi, Xavi.. | :22:38. | :22:47. | |
The game is really taking off in the South West. It has been as South | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
American sport in for the past eight years but we are seeing fruition | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
with what we have been trying to create with schools and after`school | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
clubs. Everyone is seeing how fast and | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
exciting and more creative you can be playing Futsal band playing in | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
dark, wet weather at the moment. The reason I love this sport is because | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
it is fun and when I am older I want to be someone like Lionel Messi. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
I like how it is fast, you get a lot of time on the ball and it is just | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
more fun than normal football. Futsal was developed in Brazil in | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
the 1930s and 40s and today it is played by more people there than | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
football. That probably will not happen here, but there is no | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
question, Futsal is on the up. That looks like a bit of a | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
challenge. I probably would not be any better | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
at that than at football! Time now for a look at the weather. | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
Do they have the offside rule in that game, do you think two? | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
Player knows all about it, I am sure! It has been a good day today, | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
a day for outdoor sports, but indoor sports for the next few days because | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
it is blustery again. More rain in the forecast, though | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
the rain is not particularly high amounts at the moment, good news for | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
those sensitive for rainfall over the next few days. Tomorrow, breezy, | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
mild, some rain in the form of showers mostly. And also the breeze | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
starting to pick up again, it has been relatively quiet today. We have | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
a big area of low pressure again across the Atlantic taking up most | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
of this corner of the Atlantic, if not all the way across towards Nova | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
Scotia. Low pressure is in charge sticking with us tonight, tomorrow | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
and as we move towards the weekend. First of the weather systems, this | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
warm weather front is introducing slightly less cold air. Overnight | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
low temperature problems like last eight and no ice first thing | :24:56. | :24:57. | |
tomorrow morning. That brings a band of rain. `` like last night. We are | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
between weather systems until the afternoon when we started to see the | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
second line of showers coming in. That could give heavier rainfall but | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
nothing compared to the recent rain we have seen. Into Thursday, more | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
straightforward story of sunshine but equally some showers. Some of | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
those could be heavy and sundry. There is not a huge amount of heavy | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
rain in this rain band and it becomes quite widespread. Tonight it | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
will introduce some light drizzle or rain as well as low cloud. Some of | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
the moorland across the South West of England becomes quite misty | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
tonight, with extensive hill fog developing. Good news, no frost | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
tonight with overnight lows probably no other word than five or seven | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
Celsius. Seven or eight Celsius and think will be the minimum for most. | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
`` no lower than five or seven Celsius. Tomorrow morning, perhaps | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
by nearly afternoon a line of showers that will be slightly | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
heavier, but it does introduce clearer skies. If anywhere seas late | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
sunshine it is most likely across parts of Cornwall. For the rest of | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
us the day remains cloudy and breezy. The winds again from the | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
South West. 11 Celsius the top temperature, warmer than today, that | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
is 52 Fahrenheit. If you are heading to the Isles of Scilly you live | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
there, expect the rain to clear first. Perhaps wet start to the | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
day, blustery rain clearing to showers in the afternoon. Here we | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
will definitely see late sunshine to end the day. The time the high | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
water... `` the times of high water... | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
For the surfers, the surf is picking up with a big area of low pressure | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
no surprise the waves are getting bigger. | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
But the waves are not particularly clean, quite messy on the beach. | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
There is the coastal waters forecast, six, occasionally | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
seven... The outlook ` don't hold your breath | :27:15. | :27:22. | |
for any bright weather. A trend to lower temperatures in the next few | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
days, more showers on Thursday, lighter showers on Friday, showers | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
and a breeze from the South West continuing into the weekend. | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
Have a nice evening. Andrea has been in touch to say | :27:35. | :27:42. | |
there is no offside rule in Futsal. An important update indeed. We're | :27:43. | :27:43. | |
back tomorrow. Good night. | :27:44. | :27:47. |
