:23:54. > :23:57.feel much like August, it is more like October! Is there
:23:58. > :24:09.Not just yet, I am afraid. Frying pans and fires spring to mind,
:24:10. > :24:15.sorry! Today, not too bad. Ht was chilly as we saw. If we look at the
:24:16. > :24:24.scenes captured earlier tod`y, it was quite a bright picture. You can
:24:25. > :24:27.see some cloud around bubblhng up here and there. For many of us it
:24:28. > :24:35.has been a sheep do not mind the blustdry wind
:24:36. > :24:41.too much. The breed has been filtering in from the north`west. It
:24:42. > :24:45.has added to the chilly field `` the breeze has been filtering them.
:24:46. > :24:50.There will be some good sunny spells to be had tomorrow. A few showers
:24:51. > :24:56.but fewer in number than today. We do keep the school feel. Thd breeze
:24:57. > :25:04.will be lighter and the temperatures may be a bit higher `` we do keep
:25:05. > :25:08.the cool feel. Much of the TK have experienced showers through today.
:25:09. > :25:14.It is all thanks to low pressure. That's it up across Scandin`via It
:25:15. > :25:17.drags this cool air across ts. There is not a lot of change as wd
:25:18. > :25:24.through tomorrow. The breezd is gradually easing down. Not ` lot of
:25:25. > :25:30.change. Then we look ahead to Thursday. Low sinks southwards. We
:25:31. > :25:40.see more of a westerly wind coming in. On our radar and satellhte
:25:41. > :25:45.picture you can see we have had a few showers sliding across ts. Now
:25:46. > :25:49.for many of us, it is a dry picture. This evening should be a fahrly
:25:50. > :25:57.decent one. Some evening sunshine to be had. The cool breeze gradually
:25:58. > :26:03.easing down. It will be a cool night. These are the values in towns
:26:04. > :26:11.and cities. In the countryshde it could be four or 5 degrees. I think
:26:12. > :26:14.for some of us it could be the coolest night we have had shnce May.
:26:15. > :26:27.There will be a few showers tomorrow. It will be lighter than
:26:28. > :26:31.today and may feel a bit warmer If we take a look at the Isles of

:26:39. > :27:20.water. And we take a look at the ndxt few
:27:21. > :27:25.days. The cloud will thicken on Thursday. That will increasd our
:27:26. > :27:34.shower risk. Friday should turn brighter once more. Saturdax looks
:27:35. > :27:40.like a decent day with some sunshine. But it will turn wet and
:27:41. > :27:45.windy for Sunday. Thank you. We will have mord news at
:27:46. > :27:47.10:25pm, including the storx about suspected illegal immigrants in
