soon. That is all from the BBC News Good evening, welcome to BBC Channel | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Islands. The dog stories. Speculation grows over who'll be | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
Guernsey's next Chief Minister. `` the top stories. But the man who | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
quit the job had little to say. It is not ideal, but I would hope to | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
know who is soon to my successor is. A woman in her 70s is hospitalised | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
after a house fire in Jersey. I am at the General Hospital in | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
Jersey as the number of nurses who can prescribe medication increases. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
And we'll hear how a secret seaplane base in Guernsey helped protect | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Allied supply ships in the first world war. `` the First World War. | :00:43. | :00:55. | |
Guernsey's next Chief Minister will be elected in two weeks' time. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
Nominations officially open tomorrow morning, but several names are | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
already being suggested. The current Chief Minister, Peter Harwood, | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
yesterday quit the job, concerned about the island's reputation, | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
following recent media reports questioning his previous position as | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
director of the Channel Islands Stock Exchange and Chairman of the | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
body that regulates it. Penny Elderfield joins us now from | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
Guernsey with the latest. What is the latest? Well, Clare as | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
you'd expect, although the States were meeting today to discuss other | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
matters, the situation with the Chief Minister was what got them | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
chatting in the corridors. And arriving at the States this morning, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
and speaking publicly for the first time, Deputy Peter Harwood didn t | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
have much to add. The reason is as I stated. Where does this leave you | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
with the next six weeks? You remain Chief Minister, will that be rather | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
difficult? It is not ideal but I thought the States will move quickly | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
to appoint my successor. What are your thoughts on who that should | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
be? That is a matter for the States. And asking the same questions to | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
other deputies, not many would commit to who'd they'd like to see | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
as the next Chief Minister, or whether indeed they'd stand | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
themselves. So, are there likely candidates | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Nominations open tomorrow so we ll start to get confirmation then. But | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
there are a few names doing the rounds. The Social Security Minister | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Allister Langlois is one of the first to confirm. And longest | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
standing politician Mary Lowe isn't ruling it out. Along with current | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Deputy Chief Minister Jonathan Le Tocq, and former Chief Minister | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Lyndon Trott. So a few potentials. But there are still those who think | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
it was a mistake for Deputy Harwood to go. I am very disappointed. I | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
don't think he should have gone I just wonder whether there was | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
political Russia on him. That worries me. `` political fresher. As | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
I said, nominations open tomorrow at 9am, and by this time in a | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
fortnight, we should know who's getting the top job. Penny | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Elderfield, thank you. Meanwhile Guernsey States has begun the | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
tendering process for companies to win a ten`year contract to build and | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
handle Guernsey's waste. A food waste plant will be built at Longue | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Hougue alongside a facility to export non`recyclable waste. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
A woman was rescued today from her smoke`filled bedroom after a fire | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
broke out in a bungalow in Jersey. Three fire engines and the police | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
were called to the home of an elderly brother and sister near The | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Mermaid pub in St Peter. The 73`year`old woman is in a stable | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
condition in hospital. As Jen Smith reports. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Jersey's Fire Service was called here just before 9am this morning. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
The alarm had been raised after a man noticed thick smoke coming from | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
his sister's bedroom. The smoke was so dense, even the fire crew | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
struggled to find their way through it. Any fire with a person in is | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
very serious because of the smoke inhalation. The size of the fire was | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
not too great, it is the smoke produced and the chemical toxins | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
that is the serious thing. It is all about getting up as an out as | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
quickly as possible. 16 fire officers dealt with the blaze and | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
managed to contain it to just one room. The 73`year`old woman was | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
taken to hospital where she's in a stable condition. Jersey's Fire | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Service says it doesn't yet know what caused the fire, but a | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
specialist investigator was sent to the scene at around lunchtime today. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
A spokesman told the BBC the bungalow's been badly damaged by | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
smoke. The investigation continues. Jersey's General Hospital is | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
increasing the number of nurses who can prescribe drugs and medication | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
to patients. The hospital introduced nurse prescribing for the first time | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
last year. Health bosses says patients are seen faster and can | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
even be discharged sooner. But is patient safety at risk? Edward Sault | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
reports. Jersey General Hospital, and Chris | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Sparkes has his appoitnment with Sister Angela Moss. Chris suffers | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
from a heart condition and sees Angela to get his medication. | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
Before, we would have to interrupt the consultation and I would have to | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
find a doctor to provide his restriction. That might need to take | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
this again in order to get the history and provide the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
prescription. Time`saving is one of the biggest factor. Angela qualified | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
last summer, and over in the classroom, this is the next group of | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
qualified nurses put forward to become nurse prescribers. They | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
undergo a strict six`month training programme as well as exams before | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
they go back on the hospital ward, and these trainees will be qualified | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
later in the year. The fact that I am able to prescribe and undertake a | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
consultation with the patient will make me `` will make inroads towards | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
my autonomous practice. It needs to be demanding because we are talking | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
about patient safety. Nurse prescribing first was launched in | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
the UK in 2006. It's claimed it cuts waiting times for patients, but | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
should it really be nurses that prescribe us medication rather than | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
doctors? Hospital bosses here insist there there isn't a risk to patient | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
safety. We are looking at some of our most experienced nurses, who | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
have an enhanced knowledge of the medical condition and the medication | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
that is right for the patient. So it is the right person in the right | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
place at the right time. Back in clinic and Chris's consultation | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
continues. This will give us a heart tracing. I felt she was competent | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
and it gave me confidence in the treatment I was given. Chris is then | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
given his prescription before he goes to collect his medication. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Health bosses say having this done also helps save the health service | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
money, but they say patients like Chris are the ones that will most | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
see the benefit. Six people on Victoria Wing at Guernsey's Princess | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Elizabeth Hospital PEH remain in isolation tonight as tests are | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
carried out to determine what has caused their illness. The wing was | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
closed yesterday ` it's thought the vomiting bug norovirus is to blame. | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
This year marks 100 years since the beginning of the First World War, | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
and here on the BBC we're looking at how this global conflict impacted on | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
the lives of islanders. Those who served in the conflict are no longer | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
with us, but through newspaper reports, medal records and the work | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
of historians and researchers, we get a window into their world. | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Although as Mike Wilkins has found, sometimes the interesting things are | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
more what's not mentioned than what is. | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
Into the depths, Allied ships continued to plunge. Late in 19 6, | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
German submarines began to sink a large number of merchant vessels | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
taking supplies to the front lines. So in order to protect the shipping, | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
the British and French governments decided to set up a secret seaplane | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
base on Guernsey. It is hard to imagine today, what this model yacht | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
pond was drained almost 100 years ago, and an aircraft hangar placed | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
on top of it. This photograph shows the model yacht pond then. In the | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
summer of 1917, despite the mission being classified, more than 100 | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
French servicemen came to the island along with 12 seaplanes, although | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
the number of both of these was soon to grow. The biplanes could carry | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
two or three crew with two bombs on four`hour patrols. And within a year | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
the aviators had proved to be very successful in hunting and destroying | :08:55. | :09:06. | |
U`boats prowling around our shores. Within 18 months, they had formed | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
about 25 submarines and discovered the minefields. It was very | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
successful. The whole regiment were awarded a medal by the French Army. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Many people weren't and still aren't aware the base ever existed. It was | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
top secret, after all. But when many think of the slaughter on the | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
Western Front, this story shows that there were some successes closer to | :09:29. | :09:38. | |
home. Apple II tells a thousand stories! | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Time for a look at the weather. We're not doing too badly. A lot of | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
the rain is coming at night rather than the daytime. But the rain is | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
already poised to move in later tonight. Quite a wet spell of | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
weather around the middle of the night, but it is moving quite fast. | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
It is beginning to show the current cloud approaching. Tomorrow, the | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
rain will be gone, then showers and quite windy conditions. Here is the | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
cloud heading our way. It is for most of France, the UK as well. | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
Moving fairly steadily and regularly through the night. Strong winds | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
associated with it, possibly reaching gale force later. Then | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
veering and becoming more westerly. Tomorrow, a break between the lines | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
of rain. Another area of low pressure will move across the | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
Atlantic. So, more wet weather overnight, mainly feature for | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
overnight Thursday into the small hours of Friday. Many fine and dry | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
for the start of the night, before the rain sets in. Quite wet for a | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
couple of hours, windy as well. Easing by dawn tomorrow. Overnight | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
temperatures down to 89 Celsius Tomorrow, expect the showers to be | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
around all day. But the showers are there nonetheless, and every now and | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
then, one of them will be quite heavy. 10 Celsius the top | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
temperature. For the coastal waters forecast... Generally good | :11:12. | :11:20. | |
visibility outside the showers. Here are the times of high water. For the | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
surfers, strong winds across the Atlantic. After about six feet and | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
choppy for most of the Western they sing beaches. `` Western facing The | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
rain should be gone by Friday morning, quite windy conditions | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
early in the day. We could have gusts of up to 60 mph. That will be | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
replaced by quieter conditions on Friday afternoon. Some more | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
persistent rain on Saturday, and hopefully a dry day on Sunday. We | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
hope that will happen! Thanks very much. That's it from me, | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
I will have an update on BBC One at 8pm and 10:25pm. Let's join | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
Spotlight. successfully in parts of Devon and | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
is now being rolled out across the South West. | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
Coming up, we will have the latest in our series looking at World War I | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
at home. Later in the programme, find out how this ancient forest | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
came to see the light of day. Saluting the work of a local hero. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
The people who went above and beyond to help their storm damaged | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
communities. This year marks the centenary of the | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
start of the First World War. The BBC, in partnership with Imperial | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
War Museums, is examining the profound effect World War I had at | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
home. 100 years ago the town of Dorchester suddenly found itself | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
home to thousands of prisoners of war. With the help of some | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
remarkable archive footage, I have been finding out what life was like | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
in the prison camp. 100 years ago the hill overlooking | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
Dorchester was transformed. At the outbreak of war the quiet corset | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
town became home to prisoners of war. The first people held at the | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
camp were detainees working in the UK when ball was declared. `` war. | :13:21. | :13:29. | |
It is hard to imagine a hundred years ago it was covered in those | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
huts. Today, a very peaceful scene. Brian Bates is a local historian. It | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
looked vast on the film. How big was the prisoner of war camp? By the end | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
of August 1914 there were already 1000 prisoners in the camp, so the | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
war had not going a month. It was probably at its height in numbers in | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
April 1918 one just before they went home, when there were approximately | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
4500 prisoners, and if you consider the population of Dorchester was | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
only 9500 was quite a proportion of the population. From the film it | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
looked like a hive of activity. What was day`to`day activity like? It | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
looks like the prisoners were treated very well. Under the Hague | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
Convention, neutral powers like Switzerland, den work `` Denmark and | :14:27. | :14:36. | |
so on were required to see what life was like for the prisoners, and some | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
of those reports were very positive. The film is such an extraordinary | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
record of life on the camp that I asked Brian to show me more. This | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
film was made in July 1917 and I strongly suspect it was made as a | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
propaganda film. I love this caption, beautifully situated close | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
to the sea. Like most camps, of course, it had an early morning roll | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
call. It seems more informal than you see in modern films. They are | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
standing around in a very relaxed fashion. People seem very busy | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
here. They are collecting bed boards. It looks like an IKEA job to | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
me! They are taking them back to their beds, presumably they had | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
straw as well `` straw mattresses. Each heart held between 30 and 40 | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
prisoners. This is my favourite shot. This is the bakery. Originally | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
the German prisoners asked the commandant if they could be provided | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
with pumpernickel. Originally it was produced by outside contractors but | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
prisoners complained it was not cooked properly. The stuff they | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
cooked themselves the prisoners said was as good as cake. This is the | :16:03. | :16:10. | |
reading room. It looks quite posed, this shot. What reading material | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
would they have had? Some German material. It is recorded that Thomas | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
Hardy brought some books into the camp for prisoners to read. This is | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
a rather bizarre shot perhaps. You can hardly imagine prisoners keeping | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
pets. That is a rabbit on a lead. Extraordinary. A soup run by the | :16:37. | :16:45. | |
looks of it. Yes, I have only heard one complaint about the food, a | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
sergeant saying the soup was too thin. They basically puts new German | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
cooks in there. What is extraordinary, looking at this, was | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
that the conditions were so good, probably better than a lot of people | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
who were not prisoners, who were leading ordinary lives in Dorset, | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
could only have dreams of. Exactly. I guess during World War I there | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
were undoubtedly far worse places to be, the front line, for instance. | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
They were the sunshine, enjoying sports. There were news reports of | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
one group of prisoners refusing to be repatriate it to Germany. Some | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
soldiers never did go home and those who died in the camp were buried | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
with full military honours. This is where the soldiers who died on the | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
camp eventually ended up. Yes, 45 died in the camp and were buried on | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
this piece of land here. This war memorial was designed by one of the | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
German prisoners and it was carved by a number of them. Each year on | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
men members stop `` Remembrance Sunday those German prisoners of war | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
RMM that alongside the British war dead. | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
Tomorrow I will be finding out how the injuries sustained by a Plymouth | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
sailor led to pioneering reconstructive surgery techniques. | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
And if you want to know more about World War One At Home go to | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
bbc.co.uk/ww1, and you can also hear more on your local BBC radio station | :18:15. | :18:31. | |
tomorrow morning at 8:15. Onto some sports news, and Plymouth | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
Argyle are within sight of the League Two play`offs. They achieved | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
their third successive away win last night, 4`0 at Fleetwood Town, to | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
take them up to eighth. Exeter City slumped to their eighth home loss of | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
the season when Wycombe Wanderers beat them by a goal to nil. | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
their third successive away win last It's looking grim for Torquay | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
United. They're now seven points from safety after a 1`1 draw at home | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
to Burton Albion. from safety after a | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
The storms that acted the region over the last month caused severe | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
damage and disruption across the South West. I for weeks this storm | :18:58. | :19:11. | |
driven waves battered the seafront, leaving a trail of damage. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
They have also uncovered a piece of ancient history. 5000 years ago the | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
whole area was covered by a forest. The storm has washed away tonnes of | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
sand and the remains of the forest can be seen lying preserved in peat. | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
We have a bit of a pine tree. We think this is 4000 years old, | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
radiocarbon dating was done here a few years ago. The forest extended | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
all the way across the bay, composed of pines, oak, hazel, birch tree. | :19:43. | :19:54. | |
Buried in the peat bed, geologists have found seeds, either hazelnuts | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
or acorns. It has brought people down with their cameras. What do you | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
think of this whole day being filled with trees? | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
It must have been fantastic. It would have been an actual forest. As | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
it was. Of course geologists have also `` always known the forest was | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
here. Saint Michaels Mount used to be known as the grey rock in the | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
wood, but now it has been revealed scientists can study it much more | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
easily, but they have to work quickly because the sand will come | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
back and the trees will be covered up once again. But out of the | :20:33. | :20:43. | |
devastation communities have come together. | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
Tonight BBC Spotlight begins a series looking at some of the Heroes | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
of the Storm. Gerry Belcher's B in Dawlish was | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
turned into a police control centre and provided emergency accommodation | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
for local people who were forced to leave home. Johnny Rutherford | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
reports. We have seen lots of storms but this | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
was off the scale in terms of severity. It was dark, wet and | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
windy, a different world. The waves were going over the house, it was | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
scary. On the 4th of February, known as | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
Black Tuesday, this normally quiet B became the hub of police | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
activity as the hotel came into a control sector. Jerry Belcher opened | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
his doors to more than 40 evacuees. It was very reminiscent of when I | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
was in London in `` in London in the Second World War. People came with | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
what they could get away with, people just in their nightclothes | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
virtually. They grabbed treasures possessions. Neighbour Peter large | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
said it was the worst storm he had witnessed in 30 years. I looked out | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
of the window and there were fluorescent jackets saying, time to | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
evacuate. I had ten minutes to grab something, put it in a bag Tom | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
alight `` in a bag. There were young babies that were | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
crying and upset because they had been woken up. I was out late at | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
night trying to find a wheelchair for an older resident. Jerry and his | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
wife Val have been praised for their calmness and kind approach. They | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
seemed to take it in the Dunkirk spirit. They were on the phased. It | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
was a vital muster station. Since the storms the lives of Jerry and | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
others have been turned down. Nobody can know for sure when everything | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
will be back to normal. So who are your storm heroes? If | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
there's someone you think we should celebrate then you can contact us on | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
email at [email protected] or on Facebook or Twitter. | :23:11. | :23:23. | |
I have seen hail, rain, sunshine and a rainbow all today! Yes, we have | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
had a real mixture today. Tomorrow, a similar setup, some | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
sunshine perhaps in between, but some of the shower is quite heavy, | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
even with a risk of thunder and hail. Quite blustery for all of us. | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
On the satellite picture there was a lot of cloud racing towards us. If | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
we are lucky it is an overnight feature, but it will still give | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
outbreaks of quite persistent rain. It will be gone by the morning, | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
replaced by sunshine and showers. We had some glorious sunshine today. | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
You could be forgiven for thinking it was a completely different | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
season. Relatively quiet conditions right on the coast, even some | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
sunshine. Temperatures up to nine or 10 degrees today. That may well be a | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
similar scene tomorrow with some blue sky but I don't think the seas | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
will be as calm, much stronger winds developing, and some sharp showers. | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
That lump of cloud is an overnight feature, bringing wet weather across | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
us quite quickly, to the east of the country by mid`day tomorrow, but | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
there is another area of low pressure coming, smaller and more | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
discreet, but with the potential of bringing some wet weather and strong | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
winds, particularly as it just moves away from us across parts of | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
Cornwall and North Devon. Even as that moves out of the way, we are | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
not really clear of any extended spell of weather because there is | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
more wet weather out here. Through the channel especially on Saturday | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
morning. Already we have seen a veil of cloud spilling a long way ahead | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
of the rain. It will come in the evening and overnight, accompanied | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
by strong winds, gale force along the south coast for a time, before | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
veering more westerly or south`westerly. In general, | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
temperatures up at around six for most. Tomorrow morning, a reasonable | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
start, some sunshine around, but very quickly the showers get going, | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
and one or two of those have the potential to give a fared wallop of | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
rain. By the end of the afternoon showers are much more isolated. A | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
bit more breeze and not very warm either, eight or nine degrees. For | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
the Isles of Scilly, sunshine and showers sums it up, a brisk breeze | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
from the West all day. Times of high water... | :26:07. | :26:15. | |
Big waves again, the sea being churned up by the strength of wind, | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
and on the south coast it could be choppy, but even higher on the north | :26:27. | :26:36. | |
coast. The outlook ` more showers again on Friday, some quite heavy. | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
Saturday, more persistent rain for a while. Sunday, a dry day. We will | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
have to wait until then to see if we get a completely dry day. | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
There are more pictures of the will is on the BBC Spotlight page. | :26:55. | :27:08. | |
