Welcome to Wales Today - our headlines tonight: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A new election, some old faces - former Plaid Cymru | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
leader Ieuan Wyn Jones - the latest to throw his hat into | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
With just weeks to go, tonight the race to find candidates. | :00:12. | :00:22. | |
They are not expected to be finding candidates for some time, some | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
years. Now they have to do it in a matter of days. | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
Tonight's other headlines - teenager Ethan Williams, | :00:41. | :00:41. | |
waiting two and a half years for a kidney operation. | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
really impacting on my life. It shouldn't have taken this long. It's | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
just unacceptable. Astronomers flock from | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
all over the country to enjoy our dark skies | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
but could that be about to change? Why nature lovers | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
want to buy 300 acres And in tonight's sport: | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
He started the London Marathon as an amateur | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
but finished booking himself Josh Griffiths from Ammanford stuns | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
the athletics world. He used to be a big name | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
in politics, the Plaid Cymru MP Now Ieuan Wyn Jones | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
wants to make a comeback and stand once again | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
in his old constituency of Ynys Mon This comes as all parties | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
are working frantically behind the scenes to chose candidates | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
after last week's surprise Here's our political | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
editor Nick Servini. He's one of the big | :01:48. | :01:56. | |
beasts of Welsh politics. Ieuan Wyn Jones has been | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
on the scene for many years. Not only is the former MP | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
and assembly member that Anglesey, but as the Welsh government's forma | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Deputy First Minister. It's been confirmed that he'll | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
try to become Plaid's candidate in June but he'll have to win | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
the nomination is against a number of others within | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
the party on Wednesday. In these exceptional circumstances | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
and they are exceptional circumstances, I believe we need | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
people of experience, people who know the political system, | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
you know how to campaign who have got experience both in parliament | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
and the assembly, the Welsh All that experience | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
should be put to use. If he wins, he'll be up | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
against the current Labour MP, Albert Owen, whose confirmed | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
he is seeking re-election. He was in the seat two years ago | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
with a majority of just 229. There is also likely to be a strong | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Conservative challenge. After all, this was a Tory | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
seat in the 1980s when The BBC will publish | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
a full list of candidates Big name or not, there's always | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
the debate about whether people vote for parties or personalities | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
in general elections. It's the parties behind their | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
policies and what they represent and what they have to offer instead | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
of just a name. It is going to be both but it | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
depends on the strength I'm still thinking about it but it's | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
probably going to be the party. The announcement by the Plaid's | :03:24. | :03:37. | |
forma leader comes as the current leader, Leanne Wood, | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
said she would not be leader, Leanne Wood, said | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
she would not be fighting her seat Today the Liberal Democrats | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
announced the former assembly member, Lynette Parrott, | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
will stand in Cardiff Central against the current | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Labour MP, Jo Stephens. This is a top target | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
seat for the Lib Dems Expect many more names | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
to emerge in the coming days. The parties have set procedures | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
in place to choose candidates but everything has been shunted | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
forward because in a short campaign, Also in a short campaign, | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
there is no time to build up a profile and that's why | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
the parties, if they can will try to select those | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
who are already recognised names. One leading academic says there's | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
a big scramble going on behind the scenes as no one was expecting | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
having to find candidates for a number of years and now it has | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
to be done within a matter of days. Often parties will take weeks, | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
if not months to select a candidate. There will be a whole process | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
involving meetings in different parts of the constituencies | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
and discussions and A lot of it will have to go | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
by the board because parties have to have people in place soon | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
and ready to fight the election and if that means short-circuiting | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
some of the normal mechanisms. There's a growing sense of urgency | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
surrounding the elections. Every day without a candidate | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
will be considered a wasted day Nick - a poll out tonight suggesting | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
voting intentions in Wales - polls do come with a health warning | :05:07. | :05:19. | |
but it is interesting. These are the results. The | :05:20. | :05:33. | |
Conservatives -- conservatives are at 41%, Labour at 30%, Plaid Cymru | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Bill at 8% and Lib Dems, 6%. Professor Roger, a respected figure, | :05:39. | :05:56. | |
is talking about us being on the brink of an electoral earthquake. If | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
this is projected to the number of seats in Wales in the general | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
election, this poll has predicted the Conservatives, 21. From Labour, | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
15 in Wales. Plaid Cymru, three. Lib Dems, one. This is one pole and we | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
have an entire general election campaign ahead. It is dangerous in a | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
way, this projection. There is all sorts of local factors and | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
personalities to take into account. We should say bees are sensational | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
predictions and as such, they will create a lot of noise and I think we | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
will form a dramatic backdrop to the campaign in Wales over the coming | :06:40. | :06:40. | |
weeks. The parents of a 14-year-old boy | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
from Burry Port have told this programme it's totally | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
unacceptable their son has had to wait two and a half years | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
for a kidney operation. Ethan Matthews was told in 2014 | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
he needed to have his left kidney removed | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
because it wasn't working. But he's still waiting | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
for the operation and says without it, | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
he can't live a normal life. The family have been speaking | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
to our reporter Aled Scourfield. Playing his favourite game. Ethan | :07:04. | :07:16. | |
looks like any typical 14-year-old. But he can do the things most of the | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
teenagers do because one of his kidneys isn't working. It has been | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
really hard to cope in doing certain things. I'm limited to doing what I | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
want and what I choose. His problems started when a lump appeared on his | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
left side three years ago. A cheaper to be put into drain it and he was | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
left with a tract that wouldn't heal. He was told his left kidney | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
was known on the functioning and he needed to have it removed. Despite | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
being put on an urgent waiting list com here still waiting to have this | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
operation at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. He has to take | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
antibiotics on a daily basis and have his dressings changed two or | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
three times a week. It shouldn't have taken this long. He was given a | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
date in January but the operation was cancelled after he caught and | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
affection. His parents have failed -- have complained about the delay. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
They told me it has had a major impact on their son's life. He is | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
restricted in what he can do. We can't go to the local swimming pool | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
because of the risk of infection on his side. Contact sports, is not | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
allowed to perform in. Do you think two and a half years is too long to | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
wait? It is unacceptable for any child. The latest figures show there | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
can be a delay for some. 77% of children start treatment within 26 | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
weeks. The Welsh government target is 595% to be treated. 13 per seat | :08:56. | :09:07. | |
-- percent... This doctor is retired with 30 years experience and says | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
the delay in even's treatment is unacceptable. This is very bad and | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
if the University Hospital of Wales cannot deliver the service, then | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
they should look for the service somewhere else. The money from | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
carrying out this procedure should come out of the University Hospital | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
of Wales' bank account. A spokesperson said... | :09:33. | :09:46. | |
For Ethan come his operation can't come soon enough so he can get on | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
with the rest of his life. A patient with a serious | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
mental health condition and complex medical needs, | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
has been waiting to be discharged from hospital | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
in the Hywel Dda Health Board area The patient is expected to leave | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
hospital in around six months, after arrangements were made | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
for their care. The Welsh Government says | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
delayed transfers of care are at their lowest level | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
for 12 years. Long-haul flights from Cardiff | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
to the Middle East have been Planes will start flying to Doha, | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
Quatar's capital, from 2018. Cardiff airport saw a 16% increase | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
in passenger numbers last year. The sky above the Brecon Beacons | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
National Park is considered some of the darkest in the UK, | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
but there are concerns that new streetlights are too bright | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
and damaging its reputation The international body which granted | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
the area the prestigious dark-sky status in 2013, | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
says it's investigating after the lights were put | :10:44. | :10:44. | |
in by the Welsh Government. Whether it views of the Milky Way, | :10:45. | :11:02. | |
the major consolations or even meteor showers. The sky brew of the | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
Brecon Beacons is considered one of the best. It is one of a handful of | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
dark sky reserves in the world, which means extra effort should be | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
made to prevent like pollution so there are distant galaxies can be | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
seen. Here we are in Wales and viewing the night sky from a place | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
like this is different from doing it in a town centre. The Brecon Beacons | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
has become a tourist destination for experts as well as amateurs. These | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
are not the bright lights they are hoping to find. A row of | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
streetlights next to a dedicated cam for astronomy enthusiasts were twice | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
a year, 120 people come to enjoy the dark skies. This year has been a | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
disappointment. It is like daylight down there. We can see our shadows | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
whereas before we had to move around the camp with torches. It is more | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
widespread. We discovered last night that the sky is glowing. We can see | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
several places. Brecon Beacons is glowing under the sky. The Welsh | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
government installed the lights as part of another great. To the | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
surprise of the National Park authority. The Welsh Goodman says | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
the streetlights or for road safety. It says they are greener than the | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
old streetlights. These are LED lights and said it never wanted to | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
affect the environment but will consider dimming the lights if there | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
is no impact on safety. The International Dark Skies Association | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
which gave the pocket special status says it is concerned about these | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
developments. It says the lights are not consistent with the Brecon | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
Beacons' commitment to preservation or the organisation's guidelines. It | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
is too early to see if their status is in jeopardy. It seems everyone | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
wants to work together to find a solution but the camp may not be | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
back and will -- and will now keep it I on the situation as close -- as | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
well as the sky. Much more to come | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
before seven o'clock. It's quite a climb - | :13:15. | :13:15. | |
why conservationists want to buy this 300 acres of windswept | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
Welsh mountain. And he hasn't even got a coach - | :13:19. | :13:19. | |
the amateur runner who's taken the athletics world by storm | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
recording the fastest British time With the political agenda dominated | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
by the General Election, you'd be forgiven for forgetting | :13:26. | :13:36. | |
that in ten days, we will be voting for who represents us | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
on councils across Wales. There are 22 local authorities | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
in Wales with more than 1,200 The areas in which they have | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
responsibility include schools, social care, refuse and recycling | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
and setting council tax rates. They also include some | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
services for young people. Tonight, there's a call | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
for more help to be given to Voluntary Youth Services, | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
with a warning that almost a third of the providers | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
are worried they survive Earlier this year there are youth | :14:07. | :14:33. | |
club sessions here which stopped. The youth workers came out here. | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
Even if it is a bigger family. If there is nothing fun to do, they go | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
to mountains and do fires and get in trouble with the police. The company | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
providing the youth workers said it didn't cut its budget but in the | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
long term, it felt it simply couldn't provide a quality service | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
by only being open a few hours a week. It is not doing what it was | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
meant to do. Youth workers more than a few activities to distract young | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
people. It is about engaging with young people and dealing with | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
complex issues that they have. The council says it is working to | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
deliver services here and the Welsh government is working on a new | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
national plan. There is concern that many good voluntary youth services | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
will be lost in the meantime. Dozens of these organisations would be | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
around. That could be the case. They will be struggling and some won't | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
survive at all. Committee development projects are being | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
constructed and there are ways we can work with the private sector in | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
relation to collaborating with them to see the benefits in the | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
communities. Open doors at this centre for young people. Weekdays, | :15:48. | :15:57. | |
12 till four. They can come in, play snooker, look for jobs. I was a very | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
annoying young person and everyone helped me and I progressed. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
Providing practical, vocational courses here brings in money from | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
employment and education budgets. It means they are in a good position to | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
provide other important services. The most important thing is when you | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
see them getting a job. They didn't think they were worth it. Why would | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
they pick me over anyone else? Could this work everywhere? It would be | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
difficult for smaller places because of resources. It can be done but it | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
takes a lot of driven people. Councils don't have to provide youth | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
services. Very little of this centre's budget comes from council | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
grants but they are expanding here providing continuity where other | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
services are shrinking. How many others are in a position to do | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
something similar? Tomorrow we're looking at the impact | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
of funding cuts on leisure services. And for more information on the | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
Council Elections where you live - Two environmental charities have | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
joined forces to try and buy a windswept Welsh mountain and turn | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
it into a haven for rare wildlife. 300 acres, formerly used to graze | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
sheep, is up for sale The charities say it's | :17:11. | :17:19. | |
an unique opportunity to experiment with a different | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
approach to conservation. Our Environment Correspondent | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
Steffan Messenger reports. Rugged and remote. If you want to | :17:25. | :17:36. | |
get away from it all, there is no better place to head to damn mid | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
Wales' Cumbrian Mountains. It is not every day a 300 acre patch of land | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
comes at the sale here. This is Cefn Coch south of Machynlleth. A slice | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
of mountain side up for grabs and a unique opportunity for a partnership | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
of conservation charities. It has been a few years since this land has | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
been grazed. We can see that in terms of these little birch trees | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
here and there is Willows around as well. The plan is to plant 5000 | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
native trees at the top of the rich and then let nature take its course. | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
It is a different approach to what the Woodland Trust might have done | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
in the past. To use natural processes to recreate, to restore | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
landscape. We hope to do something special here. The project is the | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
first part of the plan to establish a network of wild woodland across | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
the Cumbrian Mountains. But the idea of re-wilding our landscapes is | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
controversial with some worried about the impact it could have on | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
them. We facing Brexit and there is the future of Welsh farming. Are not | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
suggesting the approaches something we imagine the whole of the Welsh | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
uplands being detained. This is one area we can try out something | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
different. An anonymous donor has pledged ?200,000 to help the charity | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
by the site. They need to raise a further. Why does it matter? It is | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
an issue hotly debated by a host of different environmental | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
organisations. Lots of why don't -- biodiversity. The natural world | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
around us. It is happening at an alarming rate, so protecting | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
landscapes like these should be a priority. Over time, the hope is | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
Kevin's Wildwood land could attract rare animals and birds. The public | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
would also be welcome to walk and cycle. A boost to the local economy, | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
the charity says. They have until the end of May to raise enough cash | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
to turn their dream of a wildlife haven on this remote mountainside | :19:58. | :19:58. | |
into a reality. Let's get tonight's Sport | :19:59. | :19:59. | |
now, here's Claire. It's been a weekend one running club | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
in Swansea won't forget. Two members of the Swansea Harriers | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
grabbed all the headlines Matthew Rees, has been praised | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
for helping a struggling His club has tonight offered | :20:08. | :20:18. | |
to pay Matthew's expenses for next years marathon | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
and Josh Griffiths stunned the athletics world | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
by finishing as the fastest Brit. As Tomos Dafydd reports, | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
he's now secured a place The moment Josh Griffiths realised | :20:26. | :20:39. | |
what he had achieved. Without a job, coach or any experience of running | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
marathons, Josh produced the unexpected. Back home tonight, the | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
23-year-old reflected with his father on an unforgettable 24 hours. | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
It is crazy and still hasn't sunk in. My phone is buzzing nonstop. | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
Can't reply to everyone yet. It has gone crazy. One proud dad. Nick, you | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
are following his progress every step of the way. By the time he got | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
to my late team, he pulled away and looked full of running. I was | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
getting quite excited. It was a mad -- to get two mile 25 but when I got | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
there, I didn't expect him to be as far ahead as he was. You have made | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
it to the World Championships in August. You haven't got a coach at | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
the moment. I think I will be doing what I have been doing because it | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
has worked so far. He was 13th overall and beat many of the elite | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
field. He finished the race within the World Championship qualifying | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
time. He wasn't the only one from the Swansea Harriers that shone | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
yesterday. At 26 miles and with the finishing line in sight, Matthew | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Rees sacrificed his own race to help a stranger. When someone is in need, | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
you want to help them out and it was important he had got to the finish | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
line with 200 metres left. I was shouting in his ear saying, "Come | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
on, come on, you can do this. I will stay with you." Maybe I was | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
overzealous with his support. The man who helped pay tribute to the | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
spirit and generosity which he says is typical of the running community. | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
Matthew was clear in knowing that if he leaves me, they will whisk me | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
off. That is so nice Andy is -- he is such a gentleman for doing that. | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
Matthew Ed Davey say they will race together. It is a friendship forged | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
in front of millions. One of the enduring images of this year's | :22:50. | :22:50. | |
marathon. Football and Swansea City have | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
just four games left Head Coach Paul Clement | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
says their 2-0 win over Stoke at the weekend shows they still have | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
plenty of fight in them, as they prepare for their next match | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
against Manchester United. Rivals Hull also won and remain two | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
points above them in the table. If they had won and we hadn't earned | :23:05. | :23:16. | |
it had gone to five points with four games left. It would have been | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
difficult for us. The big test is at Manchester United. We have our | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
confidence back. We have won the game. The nature of the way we won | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
the game also. Ebook County's remarkable revival continues. A 1-0 | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
win over Accrington saw them climb out of the drop zone. If they can | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
beat Carlisle this weekend and Hartlepool lose, their football | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
league status will be secured. Sheffield United set to release -- | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
re-signed Chad Evans from Chesterfield. He last played in 2012 | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
before a rape conviction saw him serve two and half years in prison. | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
That conviction was quashed and at a retrial, he was found not guilty. At | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
cricket, Glamorgan have drawn their latest match away to Leicestershire. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
The home side declared on 360-6 and set the Welsh county an unlikely | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
target of 355 the victory. Glamorgan managed to hold out finishing 144-4. | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
It was turning colder for the first part of this week with wintry | :24:28. | :24:41. | |
showers the sum and sunny spells. We have a cold front sinking | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
southwards. Winds turn more northerly introducing arctic air. | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
Tonight will be called with clear spells and a widespread frost | :24:51. | :24:59. | |
forming. Potential for snow in the hills. Overnight temperatures | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
hovering above freezing for most of Wales. Tomorrow, a frosty stop the | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
sun. Plenty of sunshine and it is a mix of sunny spells and scattered | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
wintry shower. It is unstable so a risk of Halo and thunder. The | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
showers will be hit and miss. Tim -- temperatures around nine Celsius up | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
to 11 Celsius. Tomorrow night, the showers Peter out but we keep the | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
arctic air. A frosty is likely. On Wednesday, some early frost and | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
feeling chilly with some sunshine and further showers. It could be | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
wintry in the hills and fresh northerly winds. Highs of eight to | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
11 Celsius. By the end of the week we have milder air. On Thursday and | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
Friday, less cold and fewer showers. Some bright spells and for the bank | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
holiday weekends, it should start largely dry but likely to be some | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
rain over the weekend. A called a feel of the next few days. Snow is | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
likely to be confined to the hills. It is not unusual at this time of | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
year. This picture was taken in April 19 81. If you would like to | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
