As students finish their GCSE exams ` Guernsey's | :00:39. | :00:53. | |
announced major changes to the way students will be tested in future. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
England is changing its GCSDs from 2015, meaning the | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Island's Education Department has had to look at whether to do | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
End of school exams are somdthing most of us will be familiar with. | :01:07. | :01:15. | |
Students in Guernsey have traditionally followed the same | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
The UK government has set ott new plans for GCSEs, | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
Young people deserve an education system that can compete with the | :01:26. | :01:39. | |
best in the world. We have got to consultation, and we | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
will be having examinations that suit and benefit all of our | :01:48. | :01:48. | |
students. Guernsey schools will offer | :01:49. | :01:49. | |
the new English GCSEs with lore of a focus on exams, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
less coursework, and the normal A* to G grades will be scrapped, | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
with marks from 1 to 9 instdad. But they will also offer | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
other options including . GCSEs from Wales and Ireland, | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
which are similar to those GCSEs International GCSEs | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
and other accredited vocational There is a whole range, lots of | :02:04. | :02:20. | |
different types of qualific`tions, and it is about getting the right. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
If we had chosen the route of going with English GCSEs we would be more | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
constrained. It is about looking at what is best | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
for students. Some students will benefit from taking an exam which is | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
based on 100% of their work. Other students will benefit from being | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
able to do coursework and h`ve that taken into account. | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
With the majority of this ydar?s exams now finished, this is moment | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
most students will be thinkhng about now, whilst the schools thelselves | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
think how to adapt to the ndw system when it begins to roll out hn 2 15. | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
A 24`year`old`man has appeared in Guernsey's Magistrates Court | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
charged with the attempted rape of a girl over the weekend. | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
Jorge Miguel Dos Santos Fornesca, who is a waiter, was denied bail. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
He's been remanded in custody until 7 July. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Jersey has committed itself to protecting children?s rights, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
by signing up to a United N`tions convention. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was launched | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
by politicians at Grouville School today, | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
These are just some of the rights of child | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
They'll be taken into account when new laws are made. | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
How symbolic is this? The governor dissolving itsdlf to | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
account as to how its poliches will affect children and signifyhng that | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
they will do the best by thd children of Jersey and that is an | :03:57. | :03:57. | |
important statement to make. Pupils here | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
at Grouville School have become the first in the island to hntroduce | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
the convention into its curriculum. We have all been looking at what | :04:03. | :04:15. | |
right we have and how we can use them. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
We can get it do all the politicians, David Cameron `nd | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
director Bama, worldwide. How did this into practice? | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
We make sure it is consistent across policies and everything we do with | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
children so that everything we do reflect our commitment to rhghts. | :04:37. | :04:37. | |
It's now hoped other schools in the islands will follow Grotville?s | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
example in highlighting the rights of all the world?s children. | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
Guernsey's Heather Watson h`s been in first round action at Wilbledon | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
Our reporter Matt Sandoz has been watching and is live in SW18 for us. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Matt ` Heather is the British number 1 at her home | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
tournament ` what is the crowd's reception like to her, and how is | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
The result is expectation in British tennis players on the button comes | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
around, and that expectation will be even greater on Heather Watson. The | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
Guernsey girl to get all of her stride today, a comfortable two sets | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
victory against Croatia? Ajla Tomljanovic. Court number three | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
might not be the largest show court in Wimbledon, but most of the 2 00 | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
fans were here to cheer on heather at her home in chip. | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Her first round opponent was Croatian Ajla Tomljanovic, who is | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
in good form ` she reached the final of last week?s Aegon Intern`tional. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
But Watson is full of confidence too, having bdaten | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
a top 20 player for the first time at the same tournament. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
It started off well for Watson, serving well and taking her chances | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
That set the mood for the British Number 1, as she broke servd again. | :05:56. | :06:22. | |
The match lasted just over `n hour, giving the home crowd with | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
their Union and Guernsey flags plenty to cheer. | :06:26. | :06:36. | |
I have played a lot of matches and had a lot of wins. I have one to | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
judgements this yourself ard, and I'm pleased with my form. I love | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
court number three and I have played before. I think it was the first | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
record I played on a few ye`rs ago. The crowd was brilliant tod`y, so | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
loud. Sometimes they are a bit quieter, but today was good. The | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
louder the better for me. The British number one is s`fely | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
through into round two and ` step closer to achieving one of her own | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
personal ambitions, making ht through to the second week of a | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
grand slam championship, and how she would dearly love to do it here at | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Wimbledon. She faces a tough opponent in the next round, she is | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
up against the ninth seed from Germany on Thursday. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
Well, from the grass courts of Wimbledon to the artificial pitch | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
which will be laid at Jersex's Springfield Stadium, after ` U`Turn | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
The initial application for a so`called 3G surface was | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
rejected last month, but now the Planning Ministdr has | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
stepped in and overturned that decision, as Emma Chambers reports. | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Around 50 games are held at Springfield Stadium everx | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
season, and it also hosts the Muratti Vase Final. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
But all this action takes its toll on the grass surface. | :07:52. | :08:04. | |
These are the goalmouth are`s, and this is what is happening whth the | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
pitch when it is only being played on about 50 times. | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
That's why the Jersey Footb`ll Association want to replace this | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
grass pitch with an artifichal one, so more matches can be playdd. | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
With God plans to have youth clubs and primary schools using this | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
during the day and sports tdams using it at night, including Billy | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
clubs if they wish, and on the weekend we will have back`to`back | :08:31. | :08:31. | |
games. But their application was rdjected | :08:32. | :08:32. | |
by the Planning Applications Panel over concerns not | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
about the pitch but about Now | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
the Planning Minister has stepped in, and told the JFA to plax on ` | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
as long as his concerns are met I have put in the planning | :08:42. | :08:53. | |
commission to ensure that informal use of the pitch is taken into | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
account as well as sporting opportunities for clubs. Thd other | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
issue is that there will be a whole host of planting and landsc`ping. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
What was being proposed was fairly substandard in some respects. | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
The Minister has also deciddd to keep the children?s play | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
And while the fence that protects the artificial pitch may stop ad | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
hoc kickarounds, they'll be many more football matches here. | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
The 3G pitch should be readx for the Island Games next ydar. | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
After two defeats in their first two games, Jersey cricketers faced | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
They're playing the ICC World Cricket League Division | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
Four, and defeat would rule out any chance of promotion. | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Our reporter Tim Pryor is following the competition | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
After two defeats at the st`rt of instrument, a Singapore downpour | :09:46. | :09:58. | |
delayed Jersey's bid to get back to winning ways. The site, who are | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
underplayed higher than this level, have already lost to Malaysha and | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
man at the weekend. Next, Etropean connotation against the Italians, | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
known more for pizza and pasta than leg spinners and wicketkeepdrs. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
Jersey desperately needed a victory to reinvigorate hopes of a third | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
consecutive promotion. The small group of travelling fans had | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
something to applaud with two early wickets. Channel Islander 's bowled | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
well and restricted opponents to 147`9 from a reduced 40 overs. In | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
reply, Captain Peter Gough lade 61 to send his side on their w`y to | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
victory. It was all going so well, then suddenly back in the Italians. | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
Wickets tumbled as Jersey mdn for nine runs in 20 balls. But Sam | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
Dewhirst held his nerve to see Jersey home for the win with 18 | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
balls to spare. It is a good feeling to get a win | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
because it was long overdue. We didn't perform as well as wd could | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
have on the first two games, so it is great to have performed well | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
today and to have one. Hopefully it starts off a few more wins later in | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
the German. Next up, it is Denmark. | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
One other bit of sports news, and Lee Merrien is out | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
The Guernsey marathon runner suffered a stress fracture | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
in his back at a training c`mp in the Pyrennees. | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
It's a big disappointment as he missed last year?s world | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
Weather time now and another sunny day today. | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
Not a drop of rain for weeks, it feels like ` David, | :11:46. | :11:48. | |

reservoirs are about 80% at the moment. | :12:16. | :12:31. | |
tomorrow, it will not feel `s hard. This cloud is approaching from the | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
West, that is slow`moving, `nd another area of cloud is he`ding | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
down towards us first thing tomorrow morning. It does change things, and | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
introduces slightly fresher conditions. All this cloud `nd rain | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
to the West will make progrdss towards us by thirsty, so on | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
Thursday evening we could sde outbreaks of rain. Overnight | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
tonight, lots of clear skies, temperatures down to 13 Celsius The | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
patchy cloud will come and go, the maybe cloud through the morning and | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
early parts of the afternoon, but the cloud will break up by the | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
afternoon. Not as hot as a has`been, temperatures between 18 and 20 | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
degrees. A breeze from the north`east, generally good | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
conditions with good visibility Here are the times of high water. | :13:29. | :13:37. | |
Disappointing conditions for the surfers, but the sea is warling up. | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
The forecast for the cricket, morning sunshine, showers in the | :13:44. | :13:52. | |

which has grabbed your interest Mobile phone reception, | :14:20. | :14:30. | |
or rather the lack of it. We heard last night how not spots | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
were driving many So today we sent | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Spotlight's Cornwall reportdr David George to the area th`t drew | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
the largest number of complaints to see it for himself | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
and to find out about the challenges Beautiful bay on Cornwall's north | :14:44. | :14:58. | |
coast between Newquay and P`dstow. The sea wash and blocks all you can | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
hear and you are not likely to be troubled by the ring of a mobile | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
phone. I can point you to a spot on the sand dunes where the dunes are | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
quite high and if you face hn the right direction you might bd able to | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
get half a conversation with somebody. Just up the Valiente | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
Hamlet has all mod cons excdpt mobile phone signals. About a | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
two`mile radius where we ard now you cannot pick up a mobile signal which | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
causes problems to a lot of people, obviously people who live hdre, | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
holiday`makers who come in, but more important li `` importantly elderly | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
people who need to be in communication with relatives and | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
farmers who need to do business and people who work from home. Ht | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
becomes a real problem in this area. They reckon 80% of the parishes here | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
are not spots, that is hundreds of locals and thousands of | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
holiday`makers affected. Devon and Cornwall business counsellor worried | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
that people heading to Cornwall for these short breaks, business people | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
who must always stay in touch may be put off from coming. It is ` | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
possibility. We heard on thd news yesterday about a certain ilportant | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
gentleman who has to go homd because he cannot receive his important | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
calls down here and I am sure he is not the only one. It looks like this | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
could be the Prime Minister's favourite beach. It is a lovely spot | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
for a break as long as you do not have to stay in touch. We asked the | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
major mobile phone companies why coverage here was so patchy and what | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
they would do about it. Thex said they would respond by e`mail which I | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
can get here on my .Mac mobhle phone. When we did eventually get a | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
signal we found that only O2 had replied. A spokesman said they were | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
happy to have a dialogue with the government on mobile phone coverage | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
and they spend millions of pounds on the network every year and cover 99% | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
of the UK population. They have been working with Vodafone to pull parts | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
of the network. He admitted that will not help if there is no network | :17:12. | :17:12. | |
at all. Sailing and the Round Britahn | :17:13. | :17:20. | |

Some of the region's MP are joining hoteliers in their campaign calling | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
on the Government to charge the tourism industry less V@T. | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
Currently the UK is one of only four countries | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
in the EU not to reduce the rate of tax on its good and servhces to | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
From Torquay here's our South Devon reporter John Ayres. | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
Are we paying over the odds for a good old British holiday? M`ny in | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
the tourism industry think we are because of tax. The tax that we call | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
a VAT is regulated by the ET but tourism is one area where there is | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
room to manoeuvre and the UK is one of only four countries in the EU not | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
to take advantage of it. Holiday`makers in the `` | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
holiday`makers in the UK ard paying twice as much VAT as holidax in | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Spain and Italy and three thmes as much as those holidaying in France | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
and Germany. That can make ` difference in what is a verx | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
competitive market. This hotel in Torquay has signed up to thd | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
campaign calling for VAT in tourism to be reduced. One of the things we | :18:59. | :19:15. | |
have noticed here is that as these pound is strengthening against the | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
euro our foreign visitors h`ve fallen quite dramatically and it | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
shows the market is quite price sensitive. When you look at the VAT | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
rates they pay on their hotdls it is little wonder they think our hotels | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
are expensive in comparison. The campaign to lower VAT would mean | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
prices can be lowered to invest more visitors which would `` attract more | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
visitors which would invite more money to invest. It would encourage | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
more people to take holidays in this country, not only that, it would, | :19:34. | :19:42. | |
well, more revenue to the hotels and things like that. At the molent we | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
take one holiday a year, solewhere in Britain for maybe a week or two | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
weeks but if they were cheaper then we might go twice or three times. | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
What it has cost us to come to Torquay, we're off to the Greek | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
islands were about the same money. There we are guaranteed sun as well. | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
It would not influence me pdrsonally but it may influence other people. A | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
Treasury spokesman said thex recognised the importance of the | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
industry but they do not have plans for a VAT cut for the sector because | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
it would lead to a signific`nt revenue shortfall that would have to | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
be met through increased taxes or increase borrowing. | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
A woman from North Devon who turned to writing to help her deal with | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
grief after he daughter died while training for Ten Tors is | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
about so see her first play take to the stage Jennifer Wilkin Shaw's | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
Not only did she write the play but she's directing it to | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
for its run at the Queen's Theatre in Barnstaple next month. | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
Hamish Marshall has been to rehearsals. | :20:45. | :20:57. | |
On stage a play about the problems facing many in Britain todax, | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
poverty, unemployment and homelessness. It has helped other | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
deal with her problems of P`risian meant. You do not need to do | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
anything for the moment... Jennifer's life was turned tpside | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
down in 2007 when her daughter Charlotte drowned while trahning for | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
ten Tors. A few years earlidr her husband had died. When her grief | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
subsided she threw herself hnto something she had never dond before, | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
writing and directing a mushcal I still have difficult times, mornings | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
and nights and the loneliness, the difficulty of loss is always going | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
to be with me but I think when you decide that you are living, you have | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
to live as well as you can `nd you have to put things into perspective. | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
Hence a show that is about reconciliation. Through an `ct of | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
kindness a jobless Goodie brings an evil boss to his knees and their | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
salvation. She tries but I think we are very difficult sometimes to work | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
with but she tries her harddst and the fact she has written it from her | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
heart and if we can look at it in the same way we will put thd same | :22:16. | :22:25. | |
sort of passion into it. Shd has worked day and night on it `nd | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
sometimes we feel we have not put enough effort in because we feel bad | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
for her and this is her babx and she has put everything into a t`b and | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
want to do a proud. And what of the daughter whose death put her on the | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
road to the stage? In her thmes of seriousness I think she would say | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
that I am a good example now, so I think she would be proud. She would | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
also probably want to do sole gymnastics across the stage and | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
probably a little bit of disruption but I think she would be proud of | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
me. The musical is at the Qteens Theatre in Barnstaple on thd 17th | :23:07. | :23:17. | |
and 18th of July. Great stuff. It is time for the weather forecast now. | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Will the sunshine really go away? All good things have to comd to an | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
end. Can we make it stay? | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
I have done my best. There hs a change in the forecast. We will see | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
more clouds developing, particularly towards the end of the week and | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
there is some rain in the forecast. For some it will be welcome but for | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
others it will draw to a close a nice spell of summer weather that we | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
have been enjoying. More cloud around tomorrow so they slow changes | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
happening and the risk of showers. It is still relatively warm but not | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
as hot as it has been for the last couple of days. Temperatures are | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
down a few degrees. Alt in the Atlantic there is a lot mord cloud. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
It is already across parts of Ireland and the whole lot is moving | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
slowly and erratically towards us. At the same time another we`ther | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
system has generated a few showers today across the more northdrn parts | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
of the country and it will track you across us. It will not have much | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
left on it but it will introduce fresh conditions and for sole that | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
will be welcome but the big change happens on Wednesday to Thursday | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
when the weather system starts to approach. Slow progress but by the | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
end of Thursday some of us will have seen some outbreaks of rain. As we | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
move towards the end of the week it is low pressure. I pressure has been | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
our friend all the way throtgh the last ten days or so and now it is | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
replaced by low pressure as we head into the weekend. The satellite | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
picture has more detail. Sole of this cloud will heads towards us but | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
there is a arena to left on it. This was earlier today across East | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
Dartmoor where our cameraman was out enjoying some fantastic views of the | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
beautiful countryside in thhs part of Devon. A postcard picturd seen. | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
The blue sky set off by such lush green foliage, the countryshde is | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
looking very splendid at thd moment. Not everyone is happy with `ll of | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
the flower was because the pollen has been very high for the last four | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
days. Rain in the air at thd end of the week will help with that because | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
it washes a lot of dust and pollen out of the air. Tonight temperatures | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
will dip down as low as 11 or 1 degrees. Slightly cooler th`n it was | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
last night but for many of ts it is still quite a warm night. Lhght | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
winds and more cloud creeping in from the north in the second half of | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
the night. Tomorrow we will expect more of the same. Patchy cloud | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
around and gradually we will start to see that generate some showers. | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
The sunshine will become a bit limited in the afternoon with | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
generally a lot of cloud for most of us so a different story to tell The | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
wind will freshen along the south coast and it will feel cooldr. For | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
all of us with less sunshind around the temperatures are down from a | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
view degrees from where we have been used to. The forecast for the Isles | :26:05. | :26:15. | |
of Scilly. Here there is generally a lot of cloud, dry but more cloud in | :26:16. | :26:29. | |
general here. Times of high water. Surfing will improve as we head into | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
the weekend, more of a breeze developing will help to lift the | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
surf somewhat but it is still a little bit flat along the south | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
coast. The north coast may get two feet but it is not much mord than if | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
it really over the next 24 hours or so. The sea temperature is pretty | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
high for the time of year. That is all the strong sunshine makhng a | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
difference. The coastal watdrs forecast has the winds | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
north`easterly. Into the evdning it could pick up to force five along | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
the south coast of Cornwall but generally fair with good visibility. | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
In comes the change, a lot lore cloud and showers. We will see | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
outbreaks of rain on Thursd`y, turning showery on Friday and | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
Saturday and some of those showers could be quite heavy and also cooler | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
conditions for all of us. Wd have gone down to about 17 degreds as we | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
head into the weekend. It h`d to end and we have had a good spell and | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
hopefully things will improve XP. Have a good evening. | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
David is not our favourite person any more! That is it from us. The | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
late news tonight is at 10:40 p m.. I hope you can join us for that | :27:42. | :27:43. | |
Goodbye. | :27:44. | :27:45. |
