Good evening, I'm Charlie McArdle, welcome to BBC Channel Islands. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
A frenzied Friday for shoppers sees a buying boost | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
Bed shortages and cancelled operations Jersey's hospital | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
continues to struggle under pressure. | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
We count down the weird, the wonderful and heart | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
warming stories that got you talking in 2016. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
We have quite a blustery Christmas ahead of us. Quite mild, but next | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
week it is somewhat colder. I will have all the details later in the | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
programme. It's frenzied Friday | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
for Christmas shoppers. And this year, while it may have | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
been a bumper time for people buying online in Guernsey, | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
it seems the High Street It's thought changes made to parking | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
in town at peak times has encouraged people to get out and go shopping | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
as Lucy Bickerton has With just two more sleeps | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
until Christmas, it's But how much present buying has been | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
done from the comfort of home? Half-and-half. This year we did do | :01:12. | :01:27. | |
some shopping online, but now we are doing more on high-street. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
High-street mostly. Yes, for me as well. Mostly online. Definitely. You | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
won't be able to buy lovely jumpers like this here. On the high street, | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
because I prefer to see what I'm buying. If it doesn't fit, I take it | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
back and change it. Guernsey Post says they've | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
had their busiest December yet. And put the increase down to more | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
people buying online. But initial views are that shops | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
are also doing well this Christmas. The good weather may have helped, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
but its thought relaxing some parking restrictions in town has | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
also meant more people It's one of those things | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
where you you do come with an initiative which this year | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
has been fantastic, you work on that and next time we'll perhaps get | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
through to the public who perhaps So has this really encouraged some | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
people away from their computers I definitely brought mum in today | :02:12. | :02:24. | |
knowing that we probably had a bit longer because it takes a longer | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
walk in and everything. It's a good idea. Anything to encourage people | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
to come into town and support local traders is a good idea. I don't | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
think so. I think shopping is a must, so if you need to come into | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
town, you need to park and that's it, really. | :02:41. | :02:41. | |
The festive retail number crunching won't take place until the new year. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
But for now it seems many will be raising a glass | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
13 planned operations have had to be cancelled so far this week | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
as Jersey's hospital continues to come under stress. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
Recent staff illness has added to the pressures of severe bed | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
shortages and it's not known whether the situation | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Emma Chambers has the latest details. | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
As you see with all the lights on in the wards inside, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
the hospital is far from closed, but it is under pressure. | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
Managers admit there is a strain on resources at the moment - | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
this week the hospital has been on red alert, the second highest | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
category, but has since stayed stable at an amber alert | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
That means there's a low number of beds available. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
The situation hasn't been helped by higher than usual numbers | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
of staff off sick, which has led to the cancellation of a number | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
operations including six yesterday and two today. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
The hospital says it's regrettable but unfortunately unavoidable. | :03:45. | :03:45. | |
In total 13 operations have been cancelled this week. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
So with Christmas round the corner, what does the next few | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Well, the good news is that there are fewer procedures planned over | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Christmas until the New Year, so clearly fewer operations | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
But there also are asking people to act appropriately. | :04:01. | :04:16. | |
That means only using the emergency department if absolutely necessary, | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
cancelling appointments if patients have had flu or vomiting, | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
and contacting GPs and pharmacists for advice on norovirus type | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
It means using the emergency department just for emergencies. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
A 31-year-old man in Jersey has been committed to the Royal Court to face | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Wayne Highfield of Regent Road in St Helier is accused of sexually | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
assaulting a 25-year-old woman at the end of last year. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
This morning he appeared at Jersey Magistrates' Court | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
where his case was committed to the Royal Court. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Fishing for sea bass has been banned in Jersey's waters. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
The island's Environment Minister says he's made the move to ensure | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
the survival of the fish for future generations. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Commercial ships won't be able to fish for bass, | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
and recreational fishermen will have to put back any bass they catch. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
It's the latest step as part of efforts to protect local stocks. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
The latest figures have been released revealing the numbers | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
of births deaths and marriages in Jersey for 2015. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
The annual report shows 1052 babies were born on the island - | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
the vast majority in St Helier, where the hospital is, with just 22 | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
Almost 500 couples got married and additionally | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
778 people died - 96 more than the previous year. | :05:34. | :05:43. | |
Christmas not only dents our purses, but also our relationships. | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
Citizens Advice Jersey say January is the busiest month | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
for relationship advice because of the financial | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
and family pressures that come with the festive break. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
It says there is lots of support and advice out there | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
for when relationships break down, but how you cope on the day can | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Some children go up -- grew up hating Christmas because of | :06:03. | :06:16. | |
arguments and what happened in their household. Don't let that become a | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
legacy of the break-up of your relationship or indeed your divorce. | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
Try and, you know, keep it civil for ever on's benefit and think of the | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
longer term goals. -- for everyone's So as we steam ahead towards 2017, | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
we thought it was a good opportunity to look back at the year's big | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
stories - but what were they? Penny Elderfield has the top ten | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
stories that got you talking and clicking on this year - | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
and there are some surprises. 2016 has a lot to be remembered for. | :06:43. | :06:52. | |
At number ten, it's the tale of this sick cat which was taken to | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Guernsey's animal shelter. Things weren't looking good. Until, that | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
is, it had a good wash, when it became clear it was just a puppet. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Number nine, it is the five Jersey boys who went for the England | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
manager job. What are you doing in here? Eye after my job? They ended | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
up meeting the man who got it, Sam Allardyce. He is a big friendly | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
giant. Very friendly. We now know he wasn't there for long. The number | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
eight spot goes to Guernsey's election. With all be hellos, | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
goodbyes, highs and lows. That's politics. You know, move on to other | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
things. An appearance at number seven, although it is all about | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
where you do another one or two on board. The ferry operator had to | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
change its toilet signs from ladies and gents to symbols after a | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
complaint or transgender discrimination. Wrapping it up at | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
number six, it is the wrapping teacher from Jersey. Catching the | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
attention of American rapper 50 cents. He thinks he has some flow. | :07:59. | :08:10. | |
At number five, -- rapper 50 Cent. The greatest honour any diplomat can | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
display. This Jersey woman sheltered her Jewish friend for 12 months, | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
risking her own life to save his. Another act of wartime bravery at | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
number four. These men were deported to prisons in Europe for | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
distributing news sheets. After seven decades of searching, this | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
year their daughters finally found them. At last. I have found the | :08:34. | :08:43. | |
closure I was looking for. At number three, enjoying the December | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
sunshine may be the best option for pupils at this Jersey school. After | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
their annual summer beach trips were cancelled because of health and | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
safety. A nautical number two, and the quest to find a name for this | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
research vessel. Eventually, it was after Sir David Attenborough, but | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
the public voted for Boaty McBoatface, a suggestion from | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
Jersey. The chief Mr Hurd made headlines after describing the | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
island as Islamophobic when talking about the decision not to accept | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
refugees. He later apologised for his comments, but perhaps won't be | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
celebrating his win on this occasion. An eclectic win to say the | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
least, but bring on 2017 and all the weird and wonderful news we get to | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
hear about. Some great stories there. | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Jersey's Christmas Day swim in St Ouen's Bay has had to be moved | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
for the first time because of Storm Barbara. | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
Stormy seas and strong winds mean the conditions are just too | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
dangerous so instead it will be held at St Brelade. | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
Scores of people are expected for the event which sees swimmers | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
take a dip in the winter waves without a wet suit. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
This is the first time we've moved it. Obviously we've been looking at | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
the weather charts for the last week, and obviously the isobars are | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
tallying up. That rapper tightening up. The wind is increasing. With the | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
wind and the swell, the rips etc, it will be slightly dangerous for | :10:18. | :10:18. | |
swimming in the Bay. That's just one of the many | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
Christmas day swims taking place but will the weather help us | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
into the icy waters, Thank you. Hello, good evening. I | :10:24. | :10:33. | |
think that Christmas this year will not be too bad for the islands. It | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
will be quite blustery. Generally quite mild, and we will see some | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
showers dotted around from time to time. They're set up at the moment | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
is for quite deep areas of low pressure to pass between Scotland | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
and Iceland. One that is moving away through the night to come, and | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
another quickly follows. The races in the same sort of direction toward | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Iceland through Christmas Eve and into Christmas Day. The weather | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
front that trails behind that will eventually get to us, probably not | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
until Christmas Day night and the small Isles of Boxing Day morning. | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
Until then, we have some patchy rain to get rid of first, and those | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
blustery winds, but they should die down later this evening and with | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
clear skies at times, tempered as well into single figures, down as | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
low as 7 degrees. Tomorrow, Christmas Eve, bright, dry and | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
breezy day. Some sunshine. Just the chance of a few passing showers, but | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
they will be few and far between. Still quite mild, ten or 11 degrees | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
I think will be the maximum temperature with a brisk west or | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
south westerly breeze. Our times of high water. St Hilaire 2:33am and | :11:40. | :11:50. | |
250 7p. Some big waves have been generated by those two areas of low | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
pressure in the Atlantic. I don't think the server will be that clean | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
with onshore winds. The winds are from the West tomorrow, Force five | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
and occasionally six. Generally fair with good visibility. Here is the | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
outlook of way to and including the early part of next week. Sunday | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
starts bright and dry. Christmas Day. We will see pretty good | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
temperatures on Sunday, 12, 13 degrees. A blustery south west wind | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
which will increase through the morning and become strong to gale | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
force in the afternoon. A front going through overnight, so Boxing | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Day is bright and dry with lighter wind and then turning cold and | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
quiet. For the early part of next week. Have a good evening. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Before we go, just a reminder there are regular news, | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
travel and weather updates on BBC Radio Guernsey | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
From all of us here at BBC Channel Island News, | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
finish it off. Enjoy. I will, probably too much. That is very nice | :12:44. | :13:00. | |
actually. I do have to go back to work boat. See you in a bit, go on, | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
go. Still to come in | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
tonight's programme... Join me for corals and horses at | :13:07. | :13:22. | |
Bigley barracks. -- carols. And a blustery Christmas I had. Quite mild | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
but next week at a somewhat colder. Now the last of our | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
Santa Steam Train series. Given the time of year we've been | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
taking some special journeys on the railway and tonight we travel | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
between Paignton and Kingswear. On the Spotlight Express we meet two | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
young passengers whose lives are affected by illness this | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
Christmas. Our reporter John Danks | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
followed their trip Welcome aboard the spotlight express | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
on the Dartmouth steam railway. As the train steams on towards | :13:48. | :14:20. | |
Kingswinford Dartmouth the excitement is on board is building. | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
One passenger trying to take it all then is four-year-old Flynn who is | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
here with his grandparents. Flynn's is with us today because his big | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
sister has been rushed to Children's Hospital. She is being treated for | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
cancer at the moment and has been fighting for 15 months. Her third | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
session of chemotherapy so she is away for three months now. Doing | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
events and trips like this with the little one is very special to him | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
because he misses his sister and his mum. And soon it is time to meet | :14:54. | :15:05. | |
Santa himself. I like your jumper! I wish you a very Merry Christmas. | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
Thank you very much. Flynn's trip was paid for by the Torbay holiday | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
helpers network, a charity that specialises in days out for families | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
with seriously ill children. I wish you a very Merry Christmas. Also | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
getting into the festive spirit is four-year-old Harry from Newton | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
Abbot. Is ticket provided by a cancer charity. He has been | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
undergoing treatment for leukaemia since April. It is one of those | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
little things, it is very small and it means so much to them. He has | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
been so excited. Because Father Christmas is here so it is brilliant | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
really. Magic of it. And Flynn already knows what he wants for | :15:57. | :15:57. | |
Christmas. To play with Allah. -- for to play with Ella. It looks | :15:58. | :16:10. | |
like these two have headed off. In the run up to the big day we've | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
seen families reunited as servicemen and women return from tours of duty | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
- others of course won't be home We'll hear their Christmas | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
message in a moment. But first military families have | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
gathered to sing carols at the home Johnny Rutherford is | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
at Bickleigh Barracks. A carol service with a bit of a | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
difference, isn't it? Actually we are at Bickleigh Barracks but have a | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
look around, this is in fact the stables at Bickleigh Barracks. Where | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
22 horses although they are not quite military forces but I will | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
explain that in a second are here at Bickleigh Barracks. Earlier on I had | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
a look around the stables. The stable club was founded in 1961 but | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
the horses aren't actually military working horses, no Trooping the | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
Colour here. Some are owned by military personnel and some by | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
Republic. Cathy Gillespie runs the stables. Who are the stables | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
actually for? They are here for families and their children and not | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
just the military but also be public as well so anybody can come up and | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
have riding lessons and see the work that we do, our primary purpose is | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
to provide riding lessons and horse care for military families. Would | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
you like to have a look around? That would be great. Let me put Bob to | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
bed and there will be right with you. This is thin. Hello. He is | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
still a baby. Here we have grace. Hello. She is wondering what is | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
going on. She is gorgeous. And then we come to my favourite because he | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
is my horse. This is labour. The stables here, we work very closely | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
with soldiers who have PTSD and problems like that so we are doing | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
therapy with them. We're going to be extending that into 2017. Quite a | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
big thing because back in May the stables were close to closing and | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
within two weeks, and now all good to go. 2017 is definitely for you to | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
be our year. Something special going on? I am not going to say, watch | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
this space, but there is going to be something very special happening | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
over 2017. The commander of 42 commando is here. What does this | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
mean having the stables here? It is wonderful, it brings great warmth | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
and character to the unit. We are having the carol service this | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
evening not just to get into the Christmas spirit to remember all the | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
people at 42 Commando deployed at the moment. Members in the Middle | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
East but also people in the Naval service and wider Armed Forces | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
working for Christmas and means we can figure them. There are some | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
families here this evening? Yes, the stables live with us here at | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Bickleigh Barracks but they work with servicepeople from all over the | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
Naval service and give a lots of the community so we are bringing in the | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
family is deceiving to say thank you. It is always a difficult time, | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
to be away from families. Yes, as I said we have people away and it | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
gives us a moment to think of them. The stables are all about a | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
community and family spirit and there is no better time than | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
Christmas to have that. Hopefully we will hear some music later on. | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
As we mentioned - many military families won't be | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
together this year - spending the festive | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
The men and women on board HMS Ocean which is currently out in the Gulf | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
have sung their Christmas wishes ? well, almost. | :20:02. | :20:31. | |
# Were going to have a party tonight. | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
# Snow is falling, all around me, children playing, having fun. | :20:40. | :20:48. | |
# The season, love and understanding, Merry Christmas, | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
everyone. And you can see the full video | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
on our Facebook page. Well, the big day really is almost | :21:00. | :21:20. | |
upon us now and here at Spotlight we're big fans of Christmas, | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
so our Christmas celebrations Here is a reminder. It is nearly | :21:24. | :21:32. | |
over, this stupid money spending bracket we call Christmas. The | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
pantries are stuffed with charities, cakes and puddings. Sellers are | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
dripping with... Sorry, I have forgotten it. Can we start again? | :21:41. | :21:52. | |
What a fantastic site. And Santa Claus has got 31 hours. How much do | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
you get paid? I think that is a personal matter, isn't it? Would you | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
do it for nothing? I would if they wanted me to. | :22:05. | :22:16. | |
I looked across the field. I thought I saw a rabbit, spiced the rain | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
gear. When we came close it was a baby reindeer! 531 hours and that | :22:26. | :22:36. | |
gives us the speed which is 6 million mph. | :22:37. | :22:55. | |
Looking at the plumpness of the breast. Do you agree? Yes. | :22:56. | :23:09. | |
The knowing nod. I think someone is following you around. I will miss | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
him after Christmas. It feels like Christmas eve, but that is not so | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
plenty of time to start the shopping! I would think about what | :23:19. | :23:19. | |
It looks like we will have a relatively quiet Christmas. There | :23:20. | :23:32. | |
will be some wind. Quite a strong wind. It is easing off a bit | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
tonight. It will return tomorrow. Generally it is mild and we will see | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
some showers dotted around. Compared to other parts of the country we are | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
doing quite well. That book of cloud to the north-east is one area of low | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
pressure. That is leaving Canada. Tracking across the Atlantic and it | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
has been given a name and it looks like that will head towards the | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
centre of Bavaria. Heading towards the far north of Scotland. For much | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
of Christmas Eve for tomorrow looks like it will be dry. A few showers | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
dotted around. That turns up through Christmas Day. The weather front | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
will arrive late in the day for us on Christmas day afternoon into | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
Christmas Day evening. Let's have a look at the rain we saw earlier | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
today because that is now clearing away from Dorset and the east of | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Somerset and what we are left with is more broken cloud over to the | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
West. This was earlier today where is there was some pretty big waves. | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
Strong gusts of wind earlier today have whipped up the seas. Not too | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
bad for people other than the bug with the breeze nowhere near as | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
strong across the northern half of Britain. 40 or 50 mph. Those winds | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
have eased and I think for tomorrow it won't be nearly as windy and | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
actually quite a bit brighter too. This evening and overnight tonight | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
the first line of showers clears away and we are left with clear | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
skies. Just a few showers dotted around. In between some lengthily | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
clear skies which will it turns quite cold. Overnight temperatures | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
could well be as low as three or four Celsius. I don't think we will | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
see a frost but it will be a cold start. We should get some morning | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
sunshine before the cloud thickens and later in the day we will start | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
to see thicker cloud approach from the far west but most of the day | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
brightened dry. The chance for a few showers. Otherwise a dry story and | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
not as windy is today. Temperatures getting up to an around ten or 11. | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
For the Isles of Scilly bright and breezy then cloudy in the afternoon. | :25:38. | :25:46. | |
For other surfers the waves are going to be big. Very messed up | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
because of the wind. Ten feet along the northern shores of Cornwall. The | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
winds for the coastal waters are westerly. Forced 5-6. Mainly fair | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
with generally good visibility. Here is the Christmas Day broadcast. A | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
lot of cloud and also quite windy. Not strong to start with but picked | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
up and in the afternoon on the coastline we will have gale force | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
winds. Through boxing day and the early part of next week it is much | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
quieter but also quite a bit colder. The only white stuff we are likely | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
to see is a bit of frost from early next week. From all of us have a | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
lovely Christmas, back to you. Well, that's our last full | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
