:00:00. > :00:08.and Thursday. That's
:00:09. > :00:12.The number of emergency food bags given out in Jersey doubles, as
:00:13. > :00:18.people struggle to feed themselves and their families. We ask if it's
:00:19. > :00:33.time the government did more to help. It would be questionable
:00:34. > :00:38.whether we should be seconding further moneys to charities who are
:00:39. > :00:44.giving out food parcelles. Also tonight. Here we go again.
:00:45. > :00:47.Strong winds and high tides swamp shops in Guernsey. Meanwhile, a
:00:48. > :00:51.mini`tornado rips a hole in the roof of this house in Jersey. Join me
:00:52. > :00:59.later the find out about the new weapon in the fight to conserve gern
:01:00. > :01:05.sighs natural habitats. `` gern sighs natural habitats.
:01:06. > :01:10.Hundreds of people living in Jersey are relying on food banks to feed
:01:11. > :01:14.themselves and their families. There's been a dramatic increase in
:01:15. > :01:17.the number of islanders turning to charities like the Grace Trust for
:01:18. > :01:20.basic needs. Last year they helped 193 separate clients, who between
:01:21. > :01:24.them received 735 bags of groceries. The Trust also deliver food on a
:01:25. > :01:27.monthly basis to 70 families in need across the island. In a minute we'll
:01:28. > :01:30.hear from Jersey's Social Security Minister, but first, Emma Chambers
:01:31. > :01:47.reports on efforts to help islanders facing hardship. March 2011. 31
:01:48. > :01:53.March 2013, 63. Then it goes on and on, from October, 2011, was 37,
:01:54. > :01:56.October last year we got through 90 bags of groceries. The demand for
:01:57. > :02:03.emergency food bags have more than doubles in the last two years.
:02:04. > :02:07.The charity supplies food for those in need. Clients who have been
:02:08. > :02:12.referred to them or have found the courage to ask for help. We can see
:02:13. > :02:18.people coming in here now, and some of them we see regularly, people who
:02:19. > :02:22.are struggling with it and the familiar story in the background as
:02:23. > :02:27.well, of being out of work or having to wait for benefits to come
:02:28. > :02:31.through, so we are able to help And they aren't the only ones who have
:02:32. > :02:36.seen a rise in the number of islanders needing support. The Paul
:02:37. > :02:41.Deveraux haven't been fighting poverty for over a century. They
:02:42. > :02:46.collect items to give to nearly 60 people a week and they expect that
:02:47. > :02:49.to increase as the island's population grows I am not saying
:02:50. > :02:53.that the majority of clients are newcomers to the island because
:02:54. > :02:58.oddly enough they aren't. The newcomers to the island in the main
:02:59. > :03:02.are people who are of working age and not working. The people we are
:03:03. > :03:07.dealing with are local residents. The food banks don't receive state
:03:08. > :03:12.funding but rely on donations by Jersey's community to help those
:03:13. > :03:15.facing hardship within the island. Well, this comes as the BBC's
:03:16. > :03:18.Panorama programme reveals that third of all councils in England and
:03:19. > :03:21.Wales have subsidised food banks. But speaking earlier, Jersey's
:03:22. > :03:30.Social Security Minister ruled out providing financial support for the
:03:31. > :03:33.charities in the island. I think the States as a whole and the taxpayer
:03:34. > :03:37.are funding Income Support to the extent of about 73 million last
:03:38. > :03:42.year, so it would be questioning whether we should be sending further
:03:43. > :03:48.moneys to charities who are giving out food parcels. People get
:03:49. > :03:51.referred to the food bangs from Social Security, does that mean the
:03:52. > :03:56.States are relying on food banks to help? I think the people we refer
:03:57. > :03:59.would probably be people who are not emjibl for Income Support, because
:04:00. > :04:04.they haven't been here five years continuously or ten years in the
:04:05. > :04:06.past. There is no financial assistance through the benefits
:04:07. > :04:09.system for these people, and that is why they would be referred to these
:04:10. > :04:14.charities. Some of them are local, is that a
:04:15. > :04:19.concern? I think when we use the word local we would have to define
:04:20. > :04:23.that. Certainly in Income Support language, that means Fife years or
:04:24. > :04:27.more residence and similarly for any back to work programmes. Would you
:04:28. > :04:34.say that benefits here, in Jersey, are enough to allow people to live?
:04:35. > :04:37.Yes, I believe they are. I think the components which are available to an
:04:38. > :04:43.Income Support household are sufficient to provide a reasonable
:04:44. > :04:49.standard of living. It is supposed to be a stepping stone to get back
:04:50. > :04:54.into work. I believe they are significantly high enough at the
:04:55. > :04:57.moment for people to cope. Today's high tide, which brought
:04:58. > :05:00.flooding to Jersey and swamped businesses in Guernsey, could be the
:05:01. > :05:04.biggest ever recorded according to forecasters. A tide of more than 40
:05:05. > :05:07.feet, which is due again at around 8 this evening, pounded areas that
:05:08. > :05:10.have already taken a battering this winter. And it wasn't only water
:05:11. > :05:13.causing problems. In Jersey a mini`tornado left a trail of damage
:05:14. > :05:16.in its wake, including ripping a hole the size of a bed in a roof in
:05:17. > :05:33.St Clement. Jen Smith has more. This is becoming a familiar sight.
:05:34. > :05:42.Both here at Beaumont in Jersey And in St Peter Port in Guernsey.
:05:43. > :05:46.Today's high tide was 40.4 feet this morning.
:05:47. > :05:50.It closed roads and even brought flooding to areas that have already
:05:51. > :05:53.seen a deluge this winter You are looking very welt and I feel sorry
:05:54. > :05:58.for the shop owner, it is not good for them, really. I have never seen
:05:59. > :06:03.a tide as high as this. I wouldn't want to go through it. But the high
:06:04. > :06:07.tide hasn't been the only extraordinary weather event, this
:06:08. > :06:12.house in Jersey fell victim to a mini tornado. The whole house
:06:13. > :06:15.rattled and banged, as if it was in the middle of a hurricane. It felt
:06:16. > :06:21.like a mini tornado went over the house and ripped off a lot of the
:06:22. > :06:25.slate roof. Literally, within ten, 20 second, it was all peaceful and
:06:26. > :06:28.quiet again. Jersey's Transport Minister who has been helping with
:06:29. > :06:33.flooded area, says the team is looking at new ways to protect
:06:34. > :06:37.against the elements. The engineers are working on solutions to stop the
:06:38. > :06:42.water coming through, we can't stop it but to slow it down, maybe huge
:06:43. > :06:47.iron gates or extra drainage, but the new pumping station we have
:06:48. > :06:50.that is pumping about 1,000 litres a second of water away, and it is
:06:51. > :06:55.still very hard to cope with that. So it is taking on nature, really.
:06:56. > :06:59.For now, with another big high tide due in over an hour, an anxious
:07:00. > :07:03.evening lies ahead for those who have been swamped by the sea.
:07:04. > :07:08.Guernsey and Jersey churches could stop paying money to the Diocese of
:07:09. > :07:11.Winchester, and instead pay it into a shared fund. The Church of England
:07:12. > :07:15.in each island pays hundreds of thousands of pounds each year to the
:07:16. > :07:17.diocese, which is used to pay clergy, training and other costs.
:07:18. > :07:20.The bailiwicks are currently under the temporary oversight of the
:07:21. > :07:25.Bishop of Dover. The Diocese of Winchester has so far not commented
:07:26. > :07:28.on the issue. A second candidate's now in the
:07:29. > :07:30.running to become Guernsey's next Chief Minister. The current deputy
:07:31. > :07:33.Chief Minister Jonathan Le Tocq officially joined the race this
:07:34. > :07:36.morning. So far, the only other politician standing is the Social
:07:37. > :07:39.Security Minister Deputy Allister Langlois. Nominations close on
:07:40. > :08:01.Thursday, ahead of the election next week. Still ahead: The storm felled
:08:02. > :08:04.trees being made into wood craft. You may remember us telling you
:08:05. > :08:07.about plans to turn the Guernsey cow into a weapon, a weapon of mass
:08:08. > :08:11.conservation. Well, the green grazing herd has recently been born
:08:12. > :08:15.and Mike Wilkins has been to see how the calves are shaping up for their
:08:16. > :08:23.new job, to help conserve the island's endangered habitats.
:08:24. > :08:31.Meet Charles and while you are at it say hello the David, the new Fifes
:08:32. > :08:35.conservation in Guernsey. `` faces. Cute Taize are, these
:08:36. > :08:40.carves,some of whom are days old have a big job ahead of them. They
:08:41. > :08:43.will be going out as who conservation herd, respondable for
:08:44. > :08:48.maintaining and preserving the natural happen at the of Guernsey.
:08:49. > :08:53.The group La Societe Guernesiaise claims almost half of the grassland
:08:54. > :08:55.has been lost in the last decade. Agricultural intensification and
:08:56. > :09:03.changes in the land use are being blamed for the demise of species
:09:04. > :09:07.rich heathlands and habitat. Now thank to Charles and David they are
:09:08. > :09:12.going to try and reverse that trend. It is going to be right across the
:09:13. > :09:18.nature reserve, they will do a wonderful job on grass lands, dry
:09:19. > :09:23.grass lands, Marshy ones and out on the cliffs as well. They are going
:09:24. > :09:28.to be used on land owned and managed by La Societe Guernesiaise. Almost
:09:29. > :09:31.60 hectares. We are second only in, as landowner, second only to the
:09:32. > :09:36.States so we are talking about a fair proportion of Guernsey. That is
:09:37. > :09:41.going to be managed in this wonderful way, with, we call it the
:09:42. > :09:45.conservation herd but we all refer to them as Julia's cows. They are
:09:46. > :09:52.not cows of course, they are young steer, but, you know, that are
:09:53. > :09:56.Julia's. Yes. It is hoped Charles and David, along with others will
:09:57. > :10:00.start their job in May. Helping to rien I have rate the island habitat.
:10:01. > :10:10.Moving on to the sport. Time for some sports news now, and
:10:11. > :10:12.in rugby, some Jersey players have described yesterday's match at
:10:13. > :10:16.Cornish Pirates as the worst conditions they've ever played in.
:10:17. > :10:20.As you can see, it was a bit of a mud bath! The Islanders are playing
:10:21. > :10:24.in their away strip of light blue ` if you can tell the difference!
:10:25. > :10:27.Jersey was beaten by 19 points to 15 in Penzance, but a last`gasp
:10:28. > :10:28.penalty`try saw them take a bonus`point from the game. That
:10:29. > :10:34.helps them move seven points above moving on to the sport. The first
:10:35. > :10:39.thing said to the players was I was proud of them. I know how difficult
:10:40. > :10:44.a place this is to come, especially in conditions like that, you know,
:10:45. > :10:49.we had a mad three minutes before half`time, and a mad three minutes
:10:50. > :10:54.after half`time. But, we showed a lot of character. Bad conditions
:10:55. > :10:58.there then, in Penzance, evenening we saw the pictures there and we
:10:59. > :11:04.have seen a mini tornado in Jersey today, yet more bad weather and high
:11:05. > :11:09.tides in Guernsey. Is the Wendover? I think the worst is probably over.
:11:10. > :11:13.I ought to talk about the times of high water or how high they are
:11:14. > :11:19.going to be. This morning they were 10.2 metre tides at St Peter Port.
:11:20. > :11:23.Tonight they are 9.9 metres, that is about an hour ice time. But tomorrow
:11:24. > :11:28.morning, I will give you the types in a second, the tides are round
:11:29. > :11:31.about 10 metres again, so not that much less than they were first thing
:11:32. > :11:36.this morning. The difference is pressure isn't so low, and the winds
:11:37. > :11:39.aren't quite so strong, so it may not cause quite so much of a
:11:40. > :11:43.problem, but I have to say it is another exceptionally high tide
:11:44. > :11:47.This week, it is still a bit unsettled, but it is less cold and
:11:48. > :11:51.certainly a lot drier than it has been recently. This is a new area of
:11:52. > :11:55.low pressure that is heading our way, that will brush past us, I
:11:56. > :11:58.think, through the day tomorrow drifting down towards western
:11:59. > :12:01.France, then away into the Mediterranean, so by the time get to
:12:02. > :12:06.Ben, it is much quieter and with a finger of high pressure over most of
:12:07. > :12:10.northern France and the English Channel, a chance the dry out and
:12:11. > :12:14.see bright and dry weather. The wind are lively at the moment, they are
:12:15. > :12:19.north`west winds and they will drive in the showers for a bit longer but
:12:20. > :12:23.later on it should become dry. Four degrees the minimum temperature
:12:24. > :12:26.Tomorrow, not a bad day, the winds continuing to drop, and also
:12:27. > :12:29.changing direction, becoming westerly, then south`westerly, by
:12:30. > :12:33.the end of the afternoon, perhaps a few light showers may turn up, but
:12:34. > :12:36.for most of the day it is dry. Nine or ten degree, will be the top
:12:37. > :12:41.temperature. That is the coastal waters forecast, the winds are
:12:42. > :12:45.north`westerly four or five, backing south`westerly three, then southerly
:12:46. > :12:47.by the end of the day. Showers with mainly good visibility. Times of
:12:48. > :12:57.high water. . The evening high tides tomorrow not
:12:58. > :13:01.as high as the morning ones. Fairly choppy surfing conditions,
:13:02. > :13:05.and I think for the rest of the week there is a lot of dry weather to be
:13:06. > :13:07.had, there is more rain late on Friday, Friday night and into
:13:08. > :13:15.Saturday. Temperatures on the rise too. Up to
:13:16. > :13:18.12 degrees by the end of the week. That is it for four, we have the
:13:19. > :13:26.headlines at 8.00. Cornish charity Shelterbox to change
:13:27. > :13:29.the range of kit it offers. The Red Cross, which helps coordinate major
:13:30. > :13:31.disaster responses, says sometimes simple tarpaulins are a better
:13:32. > :13:45.option than the high`quality tents offered by Shelterbox. Sam Smith
:13:46. > :13:50.reports. In Haiti shelter box delivered 5000
:13:51. > :13:57.tents to earthquake victims. There were tensions over who got what and
:13:58. > :14:01.an internal report by Shelterbox reveals that there were even fears
:14:02. > :14:06.of violence. The Red Cross says that age jealousy is a general problem.
:14:07. > :14:10.To be able to deliver a package of items so that all the needs of a
:14:11. > :14:14.person are met is excellent. One needs to do that knowingly because
:14:15. > :14:20.in a certain context if one group of households gets everything then we
:14:21. > :14:26.all collectively have to think about what happens to the next community
:14:27. > :14:30.who may only get tarpaulins. Shelterbox, currently in the
:14:31. > :14:36.Philippines after a recent typhoon, is thinking outside the box. To
:14:37. > :14:40.respond to what people are asking for, what we understand to be the
:14:41. > :14:43.need, on some occasions something like a tarpaulin and fixings kit
:14:44. > :14:47.might be more use to someone whose home has not been destroyed or badly
:14:48. > :14:52.damaged but they need a way of making initial repairs and that
:14:53. > :14:57.could be something we could usefully do. Tonight Inside Out hears
:14:58. > :15:10.concerns that the charity's box focused publicity does not always
:15:11. > :15:13.reflect the reality. Shelterbox has has made it clear that it delivers a
:15:14. > :15:15.variety of AIDS but it has recently removed this slogan from its
:15:16. > :15:18.website. These are troubled times for Shelterbox when it's former
:15:19. > :15:20.chief executive is still on police bail after being arrested in a fraud
:15:21. > :15:26.enquiry but he denies any wrongdoing. Whether the
:15:27. > :15:30.organisations charities still revolves around the iconic box or
:15:31. > :15:34.something else remains to be seen. And you can see more on that report
:15:35. > :15:36.on tonight's Inside Out at 7.30 on BBC One.
:15:37. > :15:41.Time for the sport and Cornwall's rugby international was back in town
:15:42. > :15:45.this weekend. He enjoyed himself. That is coming
:15:46. > :15:53.up and it is good news all around on the rugby front. Exeter Chiefs ended
:15:54. > :15:56.their run of five consecutive defeats in the Premiership with a
:15:57. > :16:00.convincing 18`0 win over London Irish at Sandy Park. Two Henry Slade
:16:01. > :16:03.penalties set them on their way with ensuing tries coming from Phil
:16:04. > :16:06.Dollman and Ian Whitten. It's the first time they've kept a clean
:16:07. > :16:09.sheet as a Premiership team. England rugby international Jack
:16:10. > :16:12.Nowell was back in his home town of Newlyn over the weekend. He spent
:16:13. > :16:15.some valuable and precious time with his family and also popped into see
:16:16. > :16:26.the Cornish Pirates beat Jersey 19`15 at the Mennaye Field in
:16:27. > :16:30.Penzance. 20`year`old Jack now all was back where it all started for
:16:31. > :16:39.him. The academy at the Cornish Pirates has come a long way. He is
:16:40. > :16:44.now on the right wing for England. He was welcomed back to the Mennaye
:16:45. > :16:47.Field as the Cornish Pirates face jersey in the championship. A lot of
:16:48. > :16:54.memories of being on this pitch as I grew up. It is nice to come back and
:16:55. > :17:02.see my good mates play out here. It is really nice to come back. It is
:17:03. > :17:07.very nice and I am very grateful to all the sport I am getting down
:17:08. > :17:10.here. Is there a demand for autographs? A couple but to be fair
:17:11. > :17:13.I really do not mind because it is so nice to come back and see
:17:14. > :17:18.everyone and see my family and friends. After some indifferent
:17:19. > :17:29.results of late Jack watched the Cornish Pirates get a welcome win
:17:30. > :17:34.over jersey with several tries. Last year I was down here playing for the
:17:35. > :17:37.Cornish Pirates and Max is a quality player and he showed everything that
:17:38. > :17:45.he had today. The conditions were not very nice to play in but he
:17:46. > :17:48.played a good game. Jack now goes back to the England training camp in
:17:49. > :17:52.Berkshire to prepare for the six Nations showdown next weekend with
:17:53. > :17:56.Wales. I am sure the break at home will have done in the world of good.
:17:57. > :18:00.In football, Yeovil Town had three players sent off but still managed
:18:01. > :18:03.to hold out for a 1`1 draw at Reading. After Shane Duffy had given
:18:04. > :18:07.them the lead at the Madejski Stadium, Byron Webster saw red for a
:18:08. > :18:15.foul which resulted in a penalty. But Town goalkeeper Marek Stech
:18:16. > :18:18.saved the spot`kick. After Reading equalised, Joe Ralls became the
:18:19. > :18:21.second Glovers man to be sent off, followed by striker Kieffer Moore
:18:22. > :18:24.who was dismissed for a second caution.
:18:25. > :18:27.Plymouth Argyle are closing in on the League Two play`offs after their
:18:28. > :18:31.5`0 trouncing of Morecambe at Home Park. Durrell Berry's first goal for
:18:32. > :18:34.Argyle, two from Lewis Alessandra against his former club, Curtis
:18:35. > :18:37.Nelson and Andres Gurrieri put the Pilgrims only two points behind
:18:38. > :18:46.Southend, who are in the final play`off spot. But Argyle have a
:18:47. > :18:50.useful game in hand. Exeter City, usually far better away
:18:51. > :18:54.from St James Park, came a cropper at York City by two goals to one.
:18:55. > :18:58.They were two down before Scot Bennett's goal but it wasn't enough
:18:59. > :19:02.as City slide to within six points of the relegation positions. Torquay
:19:03. > :19:06.United remain in big trouble, seven points adrift at the bottom of
:19:07. > :19:09.League Two after a 3`0l reverse at Hartlepool. Jack Barmby, son of
:19:10. > :19:16.ex`England international Nick, scored one of Pools' goals.
:19:17. > :19:19.Finally, the new series of the regional football programme Late
:19:20. > :19:27.Kick Off returns tonight here on BBC One at 11.20pm. I hope you can stay
:19:28. > :19:31.up and watch it. They will have a lot to talk about
:19:32. > :19:34.with Yeovil and Plymouth. Not half!
:19:35. > :19:38.Thank you very much. With so much misery caused by the
:19:39. > :19:42.recent storms across the South West, its nice to know some good has come
:19:43. > :19:45.out of the bad. The Cornwall Association of Woodturners have been
:19:46. > :19:47.taking in storm felled trees to turn into wood craft.
:19:48. > :19:51.But, as Johnny Rutherford reports, they now have so much wood they're
:19:52. > :19:56.having to decline some offers of free timber.
:19:57. > :19:59.Breathing life back into wood that has been brought down by the
:20:00. > :20:05.storms. As they say, it is an ill wind that though `` that blows

:20:12. > :20:16.storms and these lovely trees have come down but we benefit out of it
:20:17. > :20:21.when it happens. We can take some of the trees and drive off in our kilns
:20:22. > :20:28.and inward sheds and a lot of use can be made out of a lump of wood.
:20:29. > :20:33.This is a piece of Sycamore straight from the storms. Not all wood from
:20:34. > :20:37.the storms can be easily worked on straightaway. Most timber need three

:20:53. > :20:58.timber. To me, it has got to really appreciate it. This way we can use
:20:59. > :21:03.and some of us can get some value out of it and get something they
:21:04. > :21:06.would enjoy for the rest of their life. The Cornwall Association of

:21:21. > :21:25.the fire. Now I examine every lock first and decided I can make a ball
:21:26. > :21:29.out of it. I have been filming here for two hours at the branch of the
:21:30. > :21:33.Sycamore tree has been turned into bars. To think that this was still
:21:34. > :21:43.growing just over two weeks ago before the storms.
:21:44. > :21:48.Now it is time to meet the next of your storm heroes.
:21:49. > :21:52.A man who helped save dozens of boats in danger of sinking has been
:21:53. > :21:55.nominated as one of BBC Spotlight's storm heroes. Harbour master Philip
:21:56. > :21:58.Ward took quick action after huge waves broke through storms defences
:21:59. > :22:00.threatening to engulf the inner harbour at Porthleven. Local people
:22:01. > :22:03.say he saved many people's livelihoods. He says he was just
:22:04. > :22:05.doing his job. Eleanor Parkinson reports.
:22:06. > :22:09.This was the scene last month. Boat owners and villagers alike in a race
:22:10. > :22:15.against time, battling to rescue the fleet of boats from the harbour. The
:22:16. > :22:19.storm driven waves had destroyed the timber balks designed to protect the
:22:20. > :22:23.inner harbour from the sea. Three weeks on it is a quieter day and the
:22:24. > :22:28.boats are safe on the quayside, out of harm 's way. Several did think on
:22:29. > :22:32.that day but local people say the toll would have been a lot higher if
:22:33. > :22:37.Philip Ward `` Philip Ward had not taken such quick and decisive action
:22:38. > :22:43.which is why he has been nominated as a storm hero. To Dave Philip Ward
:22:44. > :22:48.was busy with more routine jobs such as making up new moorings. On the
:22:49. > :22:56.morning of February five he was woke to find the entire harbour under
:22:57. > :23:01.threat. When I turned up at 7am for work I saw one of the balks snap and
:23:02. > :23:04.within half an hour the rest of them broke as well. We rallied around and
:23:05. > :23:09.I got the crew together with all the boys that work for me and we tried
:23:10. > :23:12.to secure the balks from floating around at it in boats and then we
:23:13. > :23:17.had to try and decide whether to get the boats out and what we would do
:23:18. > :23:22.with them. We decided that the boats had to come out. That meant almost
:23:23. > :23:36.40 boats had to be pulled out of the water. The cranes and one thing and
:23:37. > :23:41.another and a lot of people turned up and helped. I think there were 50
:23:42. > :23:45.people that it ended up but everybody knew what they were doing
:23:46. > :23:50.and helped and pulled everything out. You have got to have a front
:23:51. > :23:54.man and Philip was the front man. His reactions were very quick and he
:23:55. > :23:58.threw everything at it that he possibly could and we managed and
:23:59. > :24:02.here we are now. Many of the boats in the harbour have been there for
:24:03. > :24:06.some time and local people say that the harbour master has saved a piece
:24:07. > :24:10.of history. He says that he was just doing his job and next on his list
:24:11. > :24:14.is to get the new timber balks fitted so that the boats can get bat
:24:15. > :24:17.on the water and the fishermen can get back to work.
:24:18. > :24:21.Well done to him. And please keep your nominations for
:24:22. > :24:23.your Storm Heroes coming in. You can contact us at the addresses that are
:24:24. > :24:34.on your screen we could all do with some quieter
:24:35. > :24:39.weather. The rain was extraordinary. Is it going to get any quieter?
:24:40. > :24:44.I think this week is a lot better but it is not settled. We do have
:24:45. > :24:48.some high`pressure briefly. There is still some rain arriving at times in
:24:49. > :24:52.the formal showers towards the end of the day tomorrow and perhaps
:24:53. > :24:55.towards the end of the week we will see persistent rain returning. For
:24:56. > :24:59.much of the week it will be less cold and a lot drier and certainly
:25:00. > :25:03.less windy than a has`been. At the moment we have a blustery wind which
:25:04. > :25:07.is feeding in some sharp showers around one area of low pressure
:25:08. > :25:12.which is moving away from us. It is moving to low countries. It is not
:25:13. > :25:18.quite the same track here and that one will briefly brush past us as it
:25:19. > :25:23.dives down into mid`France tomorrow. That will mean a slightly different
:25:24. > :25:26.story to tell so the wind will not be as strong tomorrow. As we see
:25:27. > :25:29.some rain it will be lightly and passion and mostly in Cornwall and
:25:30. > :25:36.West Devon and further Easter will be largely dry. There is a thing of
:25:37. > :25:40.high`pressure covering most of the News Channel and southern Britain
:25:41. > :25:44.from midday on Wednesday. A lot of the areas of low pressure are moving
:25:45. > :25:47.through Ireland and Scotland from Wednesday into Thursday. The detail
:25:48. > :25:51.on the showers that we have seen so far, there are some fairly potent
:25:52. > :25:55.showers out there with the odd rumble of thunder and a flash of
:25:56. > :25:58.lightning and even some hail but they are beginning to move away in
:25:59. > :26:02.the next few hours. Later tonight we have a thin line of showers crossing
:26:03. > :26:06.last but most of the night will be dry and the wind will continue to
:26:07. > :26:10.drop. Enough clear sky to allow the temperatures to fall close to
:26:11. > :26:15.freezing. There will be a frost for many of us in land tonight to wake
:26:16. > :26:19.up to in the morning. We wake up to a dry start with light winds and
:26:20. > :26:24.some morning sunshine. More cloud will come in off the Atlantic and
:26:25. > :26:28.drifted to Cornwall and maybe West Devon, with a few light showers
:26:29. > :26:32.coming out about but the rainfall is nothing compared to yesterday and
:26:33. > :26:37.the showers of today. It is like Apache and parts of Somerset and
:26:38. > :26:42.Dorset are ending up with a dry day throughout. Those are our
:26:43. > :26:46.temperatures. The forecast for the Isles of Scilly. They are closer to
:26:47. > :26:49.the area of low pressure so it is a damp day here with a bright start
:26:50. > :26:58.and patchy rain turning up in the afternoon. Big tides coming in.
:26:59. > :27:05.South coast times of high water here. Once the winds become
:27:06. > :27:08.southerly which will happen through the afternoon tomorrow there are
:27:09. > :27:21.some good surfing conditions on the north coast. That is the forecast
:27:22. > :27:26.for the coastal waters. On Wednesday it is largely dry with quite a lot
:27:27. > :27:28.of cloud around after a fine start. Thursday has drizzle in the wind and
:27:29. > :27:32.potentially persistent rain towards the end of the week. All the while
:27:33. > :27:37.it is getting a little bit warmer. Have a good evening. Good night.
:27:38. > :27:41.We will be back with the late news and weather at 10:25pm. The whole
:27:42. > :27:43.team will be with you again tomorrow. Have a very nice day.
:27:44. > :27:47.Goodbye.
