What does the weather have in store for the holiday tomorrow? | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Environmental concerns have been raised over hundreds of tyres built | :01:05. | :01:19. | |
The police say they are also investigating complaints over | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
election posters of Sinn Fein candidates being placed on one | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
The tyres have appeared at several locations in County Antrim. | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
The Northern Ireland Environment Agency says they've issued five | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
?300 fines over dumping at bonfires within the past two months. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Tara Mills has been to several bonfires today. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
Her journey started at the Ballycraigy Estate in Antrim. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
The bonfire here is usually one of the biggest. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
It's hard to estimate how many tyres are on this bonfire. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
One resident said he reckons it could be as many as 2000. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Those who built it wouldn't appear on camera but said ministerial cars | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
at Stormont cause more pollution to the atmosphere. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
But some people with children living on the estate say | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
One mum with a six-year-old son with asthma says he will feel | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Another told me they won't be able to open their windows | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
One resident who's lived in Ballycraigy for 40 years says | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
It's a bit of mess but it clears up. And what about from an environmental | :02:25. | :02:42. | |
point of view? It depends what way the wind is blowing down towards the | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
house, you get smoke around the roof of the house and the front garden. | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
You wore one of the closest to the bonfire. To the windows get hot? The | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
windows will get fairly hot if the wind is blowing down this way, but I | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
bring a garden hose around to the front to hose them don't, I will | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
bring in skips to make sure tyres don't roll down. What about some of | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
the more unpleasant messages? Looking at the gunman on that sign, | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
does that annoy you? What can you do about it? If you say anything you | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
will be the worst in the world, so you just have to let them get on | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
with it. There appear to be more tyres | :03:35. | :03:35. | |
on other bonfires this year too. Here in Drumtara, those who built it | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
say it's not all made of tyres - But they weren't happy | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
with us filming. We'd agreed to interview a DUP | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
councillor but after she was told by a local resident to say nothing, | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
she declined the opportunity. One resident told us if we gave | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
the area bad publicity, the bonfire would be twice | :03:52. | :04:17. | |
as big next year. The Environment Minister, | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Michelle McIlveen, wasn't available for interview but the | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
department said... At this smaller bonfire | :04:24. | :04:40. | |
in Kells Water, And it's being built | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
very close to the road. It'll be lunchtime tomorrow before | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
any real assessment can be made Dissident republican paramilitaries | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
are being blamed for leaving a bomb It was discovered by | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
police over the weekend. Nationalist politicians in Derry | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
have condemned those responsible. Here's our North-West | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
reporter, Keiron Tourish. Work was continuing as normal | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
today on this development Around 200 new homes are being built | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
as part of a social housing estate. It is here the PSNI found a viable | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
bomb at other component parts The police say the bomb discovered | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
was an improvised explosive device. This is a development where's double | :05:25. | :05:42. | |
B at Fox not take 200 houses which are badly needed in this area, and | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
this is the last thing we want and the actions of these people are not | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
welcome. God knows what the aftermath could have been if this | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
device have not been found. Brian Tierney contracted the actions | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
behind this device with other developments in the city. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
He said the major festivals currently attracting thousands | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
of visitors underlie the positive side of a city determined to move | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
These people who support that should be brought on the media to explain | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
why they are still carrying out this type of activity. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
The police say the operation was part of an investigation | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
As part of that investigation, a 48-year-old man was arrested after a | :06:22. | :06:36. | |
house search in the Creggan area. He was subsequently released | :06:37. | :06:37. | |
unconditionally. There's been a security | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
alert in North Belfast. Part of the Crumlin Road was closed | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
off for a number of hours as army bomb experts examined the area | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
near Brompton Park in Ardoyne. It followed the discovery of | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
a suspicious object earlier today. There have been renewed calls | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
for quad bike riders to take extra care after a fatal accident | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
in Tyrone at the weekend. 24-year-old Keith Robinson | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
died when his quad hit Here's our South-West | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
reporter, Julian Fowler. Flowers at the roadside mark | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
the spot where Keith Robinson from Fivemiletown | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
was riding his quad bike along the Aghintain Road in the early | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
hours of Sunday morning A local councillor said | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
the community has been devastated by the tragedy, and his thoughts | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
are with his parents and sister. He was well known socially, great | :07:30. | :07:44. | |
local mechanics and cars and anything with an engine, and had | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
worked in the garage in Clogher. The accident was reported | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
to the police at about 5am. They said no other vehicle | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
was involved in the collision. The accident here is just the latest | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
involving quad bikes that have resulted in death or serious injury | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
and it has led to renewed appeals to those who use them to take extra | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
care. The safety features on them are not great, there's no protection | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
as such and most of the time when they are used by farmers they don't | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
wear helmets, so it's certainly would be to have extreme caution | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
with them because they are easily tipped over. | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
The police have appealed for anyone who may have been travelling | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
on the Aghintain Road yesterday morning to contact them. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Politicians here have been reacting to the news | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
that the Home Secretary Theresa May is to become | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
Speaking after her rival Andrea Leadsom withdrew | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
from the race to become leader of the Conservative Party, | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
Mrs May said she would make a success of Brexit and was honoured | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
She will want to work hard to ensure the UK goes forward together as one, | :08:51. | :09:05. | |
so we will be working very closely with the government under Theresa | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
May to ensure that the union is protected and that the UK develops | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
the opportunities that will now arise from new trading relationships | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
with many countries across the globe as well as ensuring we continue to | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
have a strong relationship with the European Union. I would urge Theresa | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
May to do all she can to protect human rights, protect the people | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
here who voted to remain in Europe and the most vulnerable people in | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
society because the previous government under David Cameron has | :09:41. | :09:41. | |
failed miserably. A short time ago, I spoke | :09:42. | :09:42. | |
to the Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers, who had backed | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
Mrs May's rival, Andrea Leadsom, in the Conservative | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
leadership contest. I asked her for her reaction | :09:48. | :09:48. | |
to today's developments. In many ways I am sad that Andrea | :09:49. | :09:59. | |
felt she had to withdraw from the campaign but I understand and | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
respect that decision, and I think it is very welcome that we can move | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
straightaway to select our new Prime Minister, Theresa May, I am sure, | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
would do a great job. She has my full support and I think dispensing | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
with the need for two months of age difficult leadership election is | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
very positive. You say chief has your full support but she wasn't | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
your number one choice. What was it about Theresa May that you didn't | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
think she could become Prime Minister? I was always clear the two | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
candidates I thought were the best ones were the ones on the ballot | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
paper, either Andrea or Teresa could do a great job. My reason for | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
backing Andrea was because we were on the same side in the referendum | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
but I am confident that the reason may respect the decision made in the | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
referendum. I think she will conduct the negotiation with a European | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
neighbours with skill and respect thing the decision made the people | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
of the UK to leave the EU. Do you trust Theresa May to deliver on the | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
referendum, because as you say she was in the remaining camp? I do, she | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
has been very clear from the moment the result was announced that she | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
respect that it, that Brexit means Brexit and I think the country is in | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
safe hands were Theresa May as our Prime Minister and the negotiation | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
of our exit from the European Union is also in safe hands. Theresa May | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
has to decide on her new album. Do you think you will remain as | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Secretary of State for an these things are never predictable, I | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
would love to stay on but whether I am not I will come back to visit | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
regularly. And her big task is uniting the Conservatives. How | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
difficult do you think that will be? I think it is important all my | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
conservative colleagues get behind our new Prime Minister. We all need | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
to make a success of Brexit so whether we leave or remain, it is in | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
all our interests to be a united party strongly supporting our new | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Prime Minister and it is a matter of pride to make that the Conservatives | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
have given this country its second woman Prime Minister. I am sure she | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
will do a good job. The Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
has said he has no intention of being diverted from the task | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
of leading the Republic especially with the forthcoming | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
Brexit negotiations. He has come under pressure | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
from his Fine Gael TDs in recent days to set out a timetable | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
for his departure with one today saying he wanted Mr Kenny to resign | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
in the coming weeks. He has already indicated | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
that February's general Northern Ireland's Finance Minister, | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
Mairtin O Muilleoir, has met with his Scottish and Welsh | :12:54. | :13:03. | |
counterparts today to talk about the implications | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
of the EU referendum vote. The meeting in Cardiff | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
discussed the impact Mr O Muilleoir believes the three | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
finance ministers could have more influence with the Westminster | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
government if they worked together. We want to speak with one voice to | :13:15. | :13:25. | |
the Chancellor. When we speak with one voice, | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
I do find that the Treasury and London have to listen in a way | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
they do not listen when We have made common cause around | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
issues we want to bring to the Chancellor and we seek resolution, | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
especially around the austerity agenda, which is hampering our | :13:47. | :13:47. | |
economic growth. BBC Newsline followed supporters | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
during the European Championships and there's another chance to see | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
The Fans in France documentary Ultimately though it was Portugal | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
who last night were crowned champions and their fans here took | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
to the streets to celebrate. In Dungannon there was a giant party | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
as people gathered to sing and cheer It was the moment Portugal fans | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
across the world had waited for. Cristiano Ronaldo lifting the Euro | :14:07. | :14:18. | |
2016 trophy after Eder scored against the hosts | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
in the 109th minute. These were the scenes in Dungannon, | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
where hundreds of Portugal supporters took to the streets | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
to celebrate the win. Last night Market Square was filled | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
with the cheers of support Today those cheers | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
can still be heard. Portugal! Portugal! I'm so happy, I | :14:36. | :14:54. | |
think we deserve it. Last night I jump like crazy, I ran like crazy, | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
today, oh, my God, my voice is going, but no problem, she come back | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
again. After the party I cannot sleep, I think I got to sleep at | :15:10. | :15:10. | |
five a.m.. These fans said it was a night | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
to remember, and paid tribute to the Northern Ireland and Republic | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
supporters who joined them. We have to see a thank you for Irish | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
people that were supporters last night, with cars, flags. Thank you | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
very much. You either best. With the Euro 2016 title behind | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
them, the Portuguese in Tyrone set their sights | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
on the World Cup in 2018. Sounds like it was quite a party, | :15:33. | :15:42. | |
and why not? Now, season six may just have ended, | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
but Game of Thrones is still big NI Screen which helps fund | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
the series, estimates the production has brought almost ?150 million | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
into the local economy, since 2010. Our north-east reporter | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
Sara Girvin has more. The North Coast, a jewel in our | :16:00. | :16:09. | |
scenic road and backdrop to some of whom are thrones' most memorable | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
scenes. -- Game of Thrones's most memorable scenes. The fantasy drama | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
receive is generous tax breaks to film here. NI screen said Northern | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
Ireland gets plenty in return. In terms of jobs and services here, | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
we're just creeping up to To be very clear about that, | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
that is spent on people who live here and on services that | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
are provided by people here. At the Dark Hedges in Ballymoney, | :16:37. | :16:48. | |
newlyweds mix with Game of Thrones fans from across the globe. | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
TRANSLATION: DARD we are here because we are fans of Game of | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Thrones. I'm from Australia and I'm here to see as many of the Game of | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
Thrones places as I can. Tourism NI is working to find out how much | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
visitors then there that they are confident that it is a lot. | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
We can see already that businesses are growing on the back | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
Two years ago, there were three operators promoting Game of Thrones | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
experiences and now we've over 25 with more in the pipeline. | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
Those businesses are also reporting that business has doubled | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
each year upon year, which is just tremendous. | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
They say all good things must come to an end, so what happens when Game | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
of Thrones wraps up? Game of Thrones will | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
leave us with two From my point of view, | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
the most substantial one is the infrastructure - | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
the film studios. On the other side of it, | :17:48. | :17:48. | |
there is a huge legacy piece in terms of the awareness Game | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
of Thrones has driven for Northern Ireland and importantly | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
right across the globe. As another day ends here at the Dark | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
Hedges and tourists begin to leave, those with businesses in and around | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
this landmark and others like it hope the legacy from Game of Thrones | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
last long after those holiday snaps start to fade. | :18:13. | :18:21. | |
Now it was a busy weekend of sport, and a successful one for a local | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
athlete who's next stop is Rio - here's Thomas Niblock. | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
Yes, Ciara Mageean has won a bronze medal for Ireland | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
at the European Championships in Amsterdam. | :18:33. | :18:33. | |
It's a massive boost for the 24-year-old athlete, | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
who will now run at the Olympic Games in Brazil next month. | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
The pride of Portaferry, Ciara Mageean returned | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
to Dublin Airport this morning with her first senior | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
I'm over the moon. It's not every day and Irish athlete comes home | :18:47. | :19:00. | |
with a medal from European Championships and I've only realised | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
I and the third Irishwoman to win a medal and it probably won't hit me | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
until sitting back in my house. In a modestly-paced final | :19:09. | :19:09. | |
in Amsterdam, she had found herself boxed in on the final lap, only | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
to move wide in the home straight, and in a sprint finish to the line, | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
she almost snatched silver. Will it be a silver? It is a | :19:16. | :19:30. | |
brilliant medal. I thought if it was going to go out that slow, perfect, | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
but when it came down to the last bits I am frustrated I got boxed in | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
because I could have another metal but I have to be very proud of this | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
bronze and hopefully in the future I will bring more medals home to | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
Ireland in better colours. Let's hope her return | :19:48. | :19:48. | |
from Rio is similar. Leah McCourt has been crowned | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
International Mixed Martial Arts Federation featherweight world | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
champion in Las Vegas. The Saintfield | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
fighter who we featured overcame Germany's Julia Dorney | :20:03. | :20:03. | |

from Northern Ireland ever to Now, it was a busy | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
weekend in Gaelic games- Antrim once again collected | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
the Ulster hurling title. That's their 15th consecutive time | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
winning the championship. As for football, the qualifier draw | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
was made this morning and it's an Ulster derby between Cavan | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
and Derry after their No place, however, for Monaghan | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
or Fermanagh, as both counties' It was the most difficult assignment | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
for any Ulster county Fermanagh travelled to Mayo, | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
consistently one of the best Sean Quigley and the rest | :20:44. | :20:47. | |

an apparent dive. His penalty was perfect, | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
and Mayo won, but the penalty That was absolutely and totally a | :20:58. | :21:17. | |
dive. How can that be pushing? And go to the ground like that? A | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
minimal amount of contact, I have every respect for Adrian O'Shea but | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
the referee bought that one hook line and sinker. | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
The biggest surprise of the weekend came in Clones. | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
It was a third championship game in a fortnight | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
Off the pace, Longford made them pay, and Monaghan's season is over! | :21:36. | :21:45. | |
We're disappointed, Longford played well, but we have to say they | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
deserved it on the day, credit to the boys for the work they did | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
through the year, we kept going but it's not our dates and it's hard to | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
take. Carlow had no answer | :22:01. | :22:01. | |
to Eugene Keating. The Cavan full forward was key | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
to Cavan's win and qualifying And in their next match, | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
they will play Derry. Damien Barton's side trailed by 7 | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
points at half-time, but Niall Loughlin's goal gave Derry | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
a 3-point win. In hurling, Armagh were looking | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
their first hurling championship. Anytime Armagh looked | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
like challenging, Antrim simply upped a gear and comfortably won, | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
Conor Carson collecting a 15th To get the year over with a bit of | :22:25. | :22:39. | |
success, it's been a topsy-turvy year, it didn't go the way we hoped | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
that we are still delighted. In the July holidays is no real progression | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
but we are still delighted. And Antrim joint-manager | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
Dominic McKinley confirmed after the game that he and Terence | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
McNaughton have both stepped down from their positions, | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
as they had already indicated. There were mixed fortunes | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
at the weekend for World superbikes champion | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
Jonathan Rea. The Ballyclare rider remains | :23:07. | :23:07. | |
on course to defend his title but the gap between him | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
as his nearest challenger, Tom Sykes, has narrowed | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
after a dramatic race in California. He battled it out with Sykes | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
for first place in Race One, with the crucial move | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
coming with six laps to go From that position, Rea kept | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
in front, and held his nerve to take the chequered flag | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
for what was his eighth First Place finish this season, | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
but there were then long faces in the Kawasaki pit with 16 | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
laps to go in Race Two, when Rea was forced to retire | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
with a mechanical issue. Sykes went on to win | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
and that reduced Rea's lead in the championship to 46 points | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
with eight races to go. The Ireland Men's hockey squad | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
for the Olympic Games was named today and nine of the 18 men | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
selected, including two travelling reserves, | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
are from Northern Ireland. They will be the first hockey team | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
to represent Ireland It's a privilege every time you get | :23:54. | :24:10. | |
selected for your country but an Olympic games is the pinnacle of any | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
hockey player's career, so it was an amazing feeling. Disappointing that | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
some guys will miss out this time but the guys who do get out, there | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
is a responsibility on our shoulders to go and perform on behalf of the | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
squad. It is history making an uncharted waters for an Irish hockey | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
team, so we will be going there to give it our best and I have no doubt | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
we can go and perform, and who knows what we could achieve? Potentially | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
we will be going there with a metal and see where we end up. You | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
wouldn't put it past him. Just a small matter of the Olympic | :24:50. | :25:04. | |
Games. I am sure those of you who aren't | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
working will want to know what the weather has in store. With this and | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
be shining? It's a bit changeable but at least it changed slightly for | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
the better today after yesterday, 26 degrees in parts of the south-east. | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
Pressure towards the North Coast and over the next few days it will turn | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
more changeable and fresher, showery but not all the time, we will see | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
some bright spells in between. Today we still had a dull start, it looked | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
breezy at Cranfield, I weather system moving through this morning. | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
Behind that the cloud has tended to break up so the second half of the | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
day was better, a few bits of sunshine and Castle SP fared quite | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
well. Not a bad end to the day for many of us, just if you like | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
showers, some bright spells on offer and most of those showers will fade | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
away during the night, so turning dry, clear spells and a much | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
chillier night than recent nights. These are the figures in the towns | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
so the countryside could be lower. Tomorrow if you were heading out to | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
the parades or somewhere else, it is a bit mixed. You may want to fight | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
the umbrella, although not many showers to begin with, after a dry | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
night it should be mainly a dry morning with sunshine but mid to | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
late morning we start to see some showers, initially in the West, | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
working their way inland as we go into the afternoon. There could be | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
the odd sharp one but it will not be wet all the time, there will be | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
sunny gaps in between. Temperatures no great shakes, 16, possibly 17, | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
but with lighter winds it shouldn't feel too bad for you get brighter | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
glimpses. Tomorrow night the showers ease away, it turns mainly dry and | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
clear and it could be even chillier tomorrow night, maybe down to 5 | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
degrees in parts of the countryside, then on Wednesday we get showers for | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
a time in the first half of the day, they should ease away with a ridge | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
of high pressure, then the next weather system roles in on late | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
Thursday into early Friday, bringing spells of rain and a bit more of a | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
breeze. Thank you, Angie, so it will be a day for umbrellas and T-shirts. | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
