is all for now. I will be back with the late news here on | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
have been battering the West today at times ` | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
it's meant no balloons at the Balloon Fiesta today, | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Sandbags were back in service on the Somerset levels, | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
where residents have become nervous of heavy downpours | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
and Severn Trent Water says it's had four times | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
the normal number of calls about flooding. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
After previously enjoying some good flying conditions ` | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
today's poor weather meant the mass ascents had to be abandoned. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
The forecast has been terrible, really, for the whole of thd period. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
It didn't work out like that. It was actually good weather. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
We come down here for the children | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
and it's something we've done for years. | :00:55. | :00:55. | |
We come here every year, so we just feel we have to do, | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Today is obviously a little bit disappointing but we have flown four | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
out of seven slots availabld to us, we have had two great nights. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
We had three Spitfire displ`ys, we had two Typhoon displays. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
So it has been a very good weekend if you look at the weather forecast | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
on Monday and Tuesday, it w`s really looking like quite a struggle | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
all weekend, so we are actu`lly really delighted with the rdsult. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
In Burrowbridge on the Somerset Levels, people were also on alert. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Yesterday, the Environment @gency had put sandbags out | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
A precaution, they said, because of high tides, rain and strong winds. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
The only place it would go over if conditions were right, | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
would be a little further on down the road and that would be serious. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
So they do have a point, to do some sandbagging. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
But at least these people had cause to celebrate. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
In Cheltenham, more than 1,000 were jiving in the rain | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
and danced their way into the record books. | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
There are currently three flood warnings in our area at the moment, | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
They're at Clevedon, Dunster beaches and Porlock Weir. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |

Did you think, as you went into the competition, did you think | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
We were expecting the gold as a team. | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
We knew we could do it, we just needed to be flawless, really. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |

Time to check in with Bea Ttcker and her forecast. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
We had a fairly blustery dax and the winds will be the theme | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
of our weather for the next couple of days. | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
