for Monday. And Scotland will be driest and brightest. Thank you. Now | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
here narrow the gap with other parts of the UK. Overall there has been a | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
slight drop in the pass rate. We got similar results. We are happy with | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
that. Good news overall but I will look through the numbers to see | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
which subjects saw a drop in results and which made the grade. | :00:31. | :00:50. | |
Also tonight, millions has been spent protecting properties from | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
flooding but there is a warning that 200 properties are still at risk. | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
Around 500 homes are without gas, after water got into pipes. | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
And I'm live at the Cardiff City Stadium as Wales try to shock group | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
For Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay is investigated by the FA | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
after it is alleged he sent offensive text messages to a | :01:16. | :01:16. | |
colleague. And I'm live at the Cardiff City | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
Stadium as Wales try to shock group favourites England in tonight's | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
crucial Women's World Cup qualifier. GCSE pupils in Wales have closed | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
the gap with other parts of the UK. Today's results show an increase | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
in the percentage getting A* to C grades even though the overall pass | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
rate is down slightly. But there was a big drop | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
in the number getting good grades Our education correspondent, | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Arwyn Jones, has more. At Newport High today, | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
as in schools across Wales, relief was clear on the faces | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
and embraces of these peoples. relief was clear on the faces | :01:48. | :01:56. | |
and embraces of these pupils. I hoped that I'd pass but I'm | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
pleased because I got a few Bs and a few As, | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
which I'm really pleased about. So let's take a look | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
at today's results. The number of people who got A* to C | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
grades is up on last year from 65.7% to 66.6%, even though | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
the overall pass rate is down. The number of pupils who got an A* | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
or an A has also gone up slightly. There is a drop in those getting A* | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
to C in English language impaired to There is a drop in those getting A* | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
to C in English language compared to That follows disappointing | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
results in January. French, German and Spanish and | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
also maths have also seen a drop. The English examination, | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
English language examination, This is what rigour looks | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
like to some extent. I'm pleased and satisfied that | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
if there are dips within This year's English language papers | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
were new and unique to Wales. They were first sat in January, when | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
over 100 school heads complained Nine out of ten pupils re-sat | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
and many were glad they did so. I had a lower result in January | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
and I did hope for a higher one but now that it's all fixed it's | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
gone back to what I hoped it would However, schools like Newport High | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
are feeling the effects Overall, their grades are | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
down this year and, for the head, There's been a 7% drop | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
in our English outcomes from last year to this year, | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
which is entirely unpredicted. So, therefore, we can only assume | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
that our whole school drop is as a result of that lower than | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
predicted outcome in English. Last night, | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
we spoke with Will and Tom. They both got | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
the grades they were hoping for and see it as a first step towards | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
bigger and better things. There's always a little doubt | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
as you walk in to get your results I'm not sure, as a career yet, | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
but I know I'd like to go back, or go to university when I'm older and | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
hopefully get a degree in something. Across Wales, like here at Lampeter, | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
the sciences These are areas where we lead the UK | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
average. There's an increasing number | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
of 15-year-olds being entered and the results for that part | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
of the candidature are really So I think there will be cause | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
for reflection on mathematics, especially as we are going | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
into further reform Wales still lags behind the rest | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
of the UK in GCSEs. The same goes with A-level results | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
but There may be quite a way to go | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
but the direction of travel Arwyn joins me now. Arwyn, what's | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
your take on today's results? On the face of it, | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
there's no doubt that we've seen The highest levels | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
of pupils getting A* to C grades. But it's within the individual | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
subjects you see the real variation. That's being blamed on too many | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
pupils sitting the exam too early. In England they're getting to grips | :05:03. | :05:12. | |
with that by banning re-sits, but the education minsiter here | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
decided against such a move. English language - | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
a brand new qualification. We've seen concerns there that | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
as a new qualification teachers Well, the minister said this | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
is what rigour looks like. I read that as tougher exams mean | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
fewer pupils getting top grades. As expected in the modern | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
foreign languages we saw a drop. Not only | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
in the numbers sitting the tests, The sciences are a real | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
area to celebrate. In every area we've seen increases | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
and in every area we're ahead The same is true of history and, | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
speaking with the minister earlier this morning, | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
he seemed to me to be saying let's look at what we're doing there and | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
try to replicate it elsewhere too. A man jailed for killing baby | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
Alfie Sullock will have his nine-year sentence reviewed | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
after concerns it's too lenient. Michael Pearce, who's 33 and | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
from Caerphilly, was jailed for the manslaughter of his girlfriend's | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
six-week-old son in July. The case has now been referred to | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
the Court of Appeal Judges are expected to consider | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
the sentence in October. The former chief executive of an | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
ethnic minority charity has denied using the organisation's money to | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
pay for a ?5,000 kitchen from IKEA. Nasir Malik is accused | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
of fraudulently using cheques belonging to the All Wales Ethnic | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Minority Association to reduce He told Swansea Crown Court the | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
payments were to cover expenses. Mr Malik denies three counts | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
of fraud and the trial continues. Thousands of homes have been | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
protected against flooding according The former Cardiff City manager | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Malky Mackay is being investigated by the Football Association | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
after Cardiff sent them It includes allegations he exchanged | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
offensive text messages with Live now to the Cardiff City Stadium | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
and our sports reporter Tonight Cardiff City is hosting | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
a vital Women's World Cup qualifier But today, the club's former manager | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
Malky Mackay has been dominating It appears he was on the verge | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
of taking a new job, linking up with his former right-hand man | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
Iain Moody at Crystal Palace. But that move is now off and Moody | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
has resigned after allegations emerged that the pair had exchanged | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
racist, sexist and homophobic text messages when they both worked here | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
at Cardiff City. He's been out of work for eight | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
months and tonight the prospect of Malky Mackay returning to a job in | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
football seems a lot further away. The FA are considering | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
a file provided by Cardiff City, which includes allegations of | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
misconduct by Mackay and has former head of recruitment, Iain Moody, | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
during their time at the club. The dossier, | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
details of which were published in the Daily Mail, contains | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
allegations that the pair exchanged offensive messages that were racist, | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
sexist and homophobic in nature. Mackay and Moody have both been | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
asked to comment Everyone in football, certainly the | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
managers and club owners and people in the footballing hierarchy should | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
be taking a leadership role and we don't feel that homophobic comments | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
or discriminatory comments are appropriate, whether in public or in | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
private. allegedly referred to in the texts | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
is Jewish football agent Phil Smith. I would prefer somebody | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
if they had something to say to say I don't want to be judgemental | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
on either of them because I think it is out of character, personally, | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
but I'm a Jewish person and, looking at what is happening | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
in terms of anti-Semitism around Europe at the moment, | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
it's worrying for Jewish people. As I said, | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
this is a multiracial issue. If it's worrying for me, | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
it will be worrying for others. Mackay | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
and Moody first worked together The pair were set to be reunited | :09:09. | :09:09. | |
again at Crystal Palace but today Moody resigned from his | :09:10. | :09:21. | |
job as they're sporting director, a position he'd taken two months after | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
being sacked by Cardiff, who had accused him and Mackay of | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
overspending in the transfer market. Lawyers working for Cardiff had | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
searched Moody's home, looking for evidence of irregularities | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
in his transfer dealings. What they found has now | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
been sent to the FA. Cardiff stressed the dossier was | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
handed over before Mackay applied The Scotsman was certainly | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
a popular figure at Cardiff City. Fans protested when he was sacked | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
by owner Vincent Tan. He was a bit of an icon last season | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
with all the stuff that was going Those of us lucky enough to meet him | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
would see these allegations If true, it would really | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
devastate quite a lot of people. In May, Mackay and Moody dropped | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
legal compensation claims against Both then issued apologies to | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
Vincent Tan for any offence They said they hoped a line could | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
be drawn under the dispute. With allegations now in the hands | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
of the FA, Extraordinary events today. | :10:24. | :10:39. | |
joined by BBC Wales's football correspondent. Development is no one | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
expected. Where does this leave him now? In the last few minutes, his | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
agent has reportedly told the media that he is shocked and stunned by | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
these developments and they will fight this through the courts. We | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
will see what happens. These are only allegations at the moment and | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
we now await the results of the FA investigation into the document | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
which Cardiff City centre then two weeks ago. Should be read anything | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
into the timing of this? I understand from the highest club | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
sources that they were told by their legal people that they have to | :11:22. | :11:30. | |
submit this a legend -- alleged evidence to the football authorities | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
are they would have been in breach of the rules. That explains why it | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
has gone to the FA. He was a hugely popular figure here. Even when he | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
left, his standing was so high. Has this changed that? | :11:44. | :11:53. | |
left, his standing was so high. Has the area -- on various | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
left, his standing was so high. Has networks and there are plenty of | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
people backing him to the hilt. We will wait to see what happens with | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
the FA investigation. This is a story I think will run and run over | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
the next few days And I hope you'll join me back here | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
in a few minutes as we look ahead to tonight's big World Cup qualifier | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
between Wales and England. Thousands of homes have been | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
protected against flooding according It says 6500 properties are | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
benefiting from investment But it warns more than 200,000 | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
properties are still at risk. A detailed report from Natural | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
Resources Wales covers the period In all, | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
?71 million in damage was done. Some of that to Joanne Ellison's | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
St Asaph home in 2012. The repairs meant she had to move | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
out for 200 days and so won't be My own sandbags which I paid | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
for myself. So I've put things in place but it | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
is our way of making myself be able Natural Resources Wales says ?165 | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
million has been spent It'll protect 250 homes. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
near Pontarddulais to control At this point it's going to be | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
just over 7.5 metres high. It will store the water as and when | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
required and it will offer that level of protection to all these | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
people and all these properties. Physical barriers like dams or these | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
raised river banks are one form as much effort into forecasting | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
flooding hotspots and spreading It is also money invested | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
in forecasting flooding For example, 160 more communities | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
have benefited from getting The money has also gone to | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
community flood plans. 600 more communities better | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
prepared as a result. 30 flood wardens like | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
Ken Hodgkinson, president of St Asaph Cricket Club, which was | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
devastated two years ago, will be on My wardens go out | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
and make sure people are doing what When that is required, we know | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
the area because we live in it. And then you can leave that side | :14:22. | :14:35. | |
of it to us. Across Wales, 21,000 properties are | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
still said to be at high risk but awareness could be just as | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
helpful as any number of sandbags. How do Scottish people living here | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
today feel about breaking away And it feels as if summer is over | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
but will there be any sun over Around 500 properties are without | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
gas in the Nantyglo area of Wales And West Utilities says | :14:58. | :15:13. | |
the problem was caused after water got into gas pipes | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
when a water main burst. It says engineers are working | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
to resolve the issue. first, they must find out where the | :15:20. | :15:32. | |
water came from and then how it got into the gas supply. Across | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Nantyglo, hundreds of homes have been affected since early this | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
morning. I was contacted by a tenant who said water was coming out of the | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
cooker. That was how we found out. From that, the situation has come | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
about. How dangerous has this situation been? It could have been | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
dangerous if it wasn't properly managed so that is why we are | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
involved because it could have been serious if not properly managed. | :16:09. | :16:25. | |
When -- we have no water and no gas. We have friends and family who can | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
help us out. That's just in case it doesn't come on today. This woman | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
was first to spot there was something wrong, believing her | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
seating was broken. She has kept warm with a hot cup of tea. I have a | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
phone call about 30 minutes ago to say not to use the cooker. Anything | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
could happen, couldn't it? Engineers have gone door-to-door to make sure | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
that the gas is turned off. They will have to revisit each house to | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
turn it back on. Even once they have identified the source of the | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
problem, it will not be a Kwik-Fit 's. Right now, they are working | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
round the clock and say they will provide vulnerable customers with | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
alternative seating and cooking facilities if required. | :17:18. | :17:22. | |

It's just four weeks until Scotland votes on independence. | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
And in the first in a series of special reports, our political | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
editor, Nick Servini, has been to meet Scots living in Wales. | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
Would they welcome Scotland breaking away from the UK and could | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
It is more Braveheart than Bridgend but this is our Welsh castle. | :18:07. | :18:25. | |
Historically, the Scots have been far more successful than the Welsh | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
when it comes to fighting the English. Now, a modern-day battle | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
for independence takes place and it is being fought among the Scots | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
themselves. That includes couples. They don't have a vote, but the | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
debate is intense between these two, who moved here more than 30 years | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
ago. I would vote yes because of the way I feel. Others like to see | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
Scotland stand on their own and make it. What do you think? I think they | :18:56. | :19:07. | |
should shut the book. She hasn't given me any argument for | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
independence. So many questions haven't been answered. The currency. | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
What are we going to have? If you don't know what going to be in your | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
pocket next week. Will it be a pound or a Deutschmark? This place is said | :19:23. | :19:31. | |
to have been the home of the first Welsh Parliament. The man running | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
it, a proud Scot, backs the modern devolved governments in Scotland and | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
Wales but nothing more. Alex Salmond will do the Braveheart or luckless | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
monster thing. I don't need someone to tell me I'm Scottish. I can suit | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
in myself. I preferred the union just as she is. It works perfectly | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
well. Why would you change something if it isn't broken. This folk is | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
likely to make Scottish expats feel sentimental. That includes this | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
piano player. He says the Scots don't want to be told how to behave | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
by outsiders, especially the English. All three parties are | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
strangely unified for the first time I can remember predicting that | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
earthquakes will ravage the land and the skies will rain with blood and | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
the price of bread will go up by 20 times if Scotland is independent. | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
All of this based on speculation and designed to frighten Scottish people | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
into voting no. It has the opposite effect, of course. Scottish people | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
react against that. The Marquess of yet was the most -- Bute was a | :20:53. | :21:06. | |
famous Scottish person who lives in Wales. He backed devolution but not | :21:07. | :21:17. | |
for Wales. People in Wales are watching this independence debate | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
from a place where some people harbour some are ambitions -- | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
similar ambitions. I get the impression that many Welsh people | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
think Wales is a smaller country and doesn't have the possibility of | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
North Sea oil and also did not retain a separate education system | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
the way Scotland is dead after the act of union. Their independence | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
campaign has been stormy and divisive and the Scottish people | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
living here reflect those differences. -- reflect those | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
differences as we move also to this historic vote. | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
A big match tonight for Wales' Women's football team. | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
Let's go back to Ashleigh at the Cardiff City Stadium. | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
The crowd is building here and few things stir the sporting public | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
Tonight, qualification for next year's | :22:07. | :22:15. | |
Women's World Cup in Canada is the prize both teams are aiming for. | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
England are very much in the driving seat in the group. | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
A point will be enough to see them through. | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
But Wales are in second place and battling to secure | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
a play-off spot if they finish the campaign as runners-up. | :22:32. | :22:41. | |
You can see that there does seem to be a big buzz around football in | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
Wales and it is important to keep building on that. It is important | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
for the women but I don't think it has to be women against men. | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
Football has to be pushed and if that is what we are doing well | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
that's what we'll do. Sometimes you get the results quicker and | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
sometimes you don't. It is all about a lot of things we have been trying | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
to do, build a structure. Obviously being able to take for a lot of the | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
young experienced players, we have been also lucky. A draw or a win for | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
Wales tonight would be hugely valuable. | :23:31. | :23:31. | |
And there are plenty of ways to watch this evening's match. | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
There's full commentary on both BBC Radio Wales and Radio Cymru and the | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
Kick-off is just after seven o'clock. | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
And finally tonight, some big news emerging from the IPC European | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
Aled Sion Davies from Bridgend has won gold for | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
It's another title to add to his Paralympic and | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
You'll remember Aled captained Wales at the Commonwealth Games, | :23:56. | :24:06. | |
He becomes the first Welsh athletes to win a gold medal at these | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
championships. It has been a bit of a gold rush for Welsh athletes. Jazz | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
Carlin has also won a gold medal in Berlin in the 800 metres swimming. A | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
terrific month for her and a second gold medal in just a few weeks for | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
her. We are hoping for a terrific match this evening. | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
It is fuelling Tom Noble -- fuelling autumnal. | :24:48. | :24:58. | |
Over the bank holiday weekend, I can promise some fine weather | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
and sunshine but if you're camping take an extra blanket. | :25:04. | :25:16. | |
A waterproof will come in handy as well. | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
This evening showery rain will spread southeast. | :25:19. | :25:19. | |
Heavy bursts of rain in places but turning much drier | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
Temperatures inland falling as low as seven Celsius. | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
Here's the picture for eight in the morning. | :25:27. | :25:28. | |
Sunnier than today in the south and southeast. | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
Not dry everywhere, though, with showers in the northeast. | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
Heavy showers in Flintshire, Wrexham and Deeside. | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
So a better day tomorrow with sunny spells. | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
The odd shower here and there in the afternoon, otherwise dry and bright. | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
Temperatures not great but a little higher than today. | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
Up to 17 or 18 in the southeast and out of the breeze and | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
Tomorrow night, plenty of dry, clear weather but also | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
Yet another cool night for the time of year. | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
On Saturday, a few showers here and there. | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
Otherwise a lot of dry weather with some sunshine. | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
Not that warm, though, with a northwesterly breeze. | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
Saturday night into Sunday will turn very chilly. | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
Unusually cold for August, especially inland, | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
So a chilly start on Sunday but bright and sunny. | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
Most of the day dry but cloud will increase. | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
Rain may reach Pembrokeshire by late afternoon and spread further | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
The chart for Monday shows low pressure over | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
Next week doesn't look great but, you never know, it may pick up again | :26:52. | :27:08. | |
in September as it often does when the children go back to school. | :27:09. | :27:17. | |
That is always the way. A reminder That is | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
Make the most of your weekend, wherever you are. | :27:24. | :27:50. | |
