Good evening, I'm Charlie McArdle welcome to BBC Channel Islands. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Giving back to get more - farmers will need to look | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
They can give it to us this year or three years' time and take it away. | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
They weren't more than three years ago, why are they so worried about | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
it now? There is no cross left. -- trust. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Jersey's Education minster avoids punishment over claims of misleading | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
The final furlong for horse racing in Guernsey - | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
There is a problem. They might have to run this race once every two | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
years or something. Farmers in Jersey will no longer get | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
government money based on the size of their farm, | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
but instead will have to prove they're meeting | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
sustainable farming standards. The new plan - released today - | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
will change the way Some say it will bring | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
more help for businesses but others believe it's too | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
little, too late. It's no longer Jersey's | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
most important industry. But farming is an inescapable part | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
of the island's identity. And it's that impact | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
on our landscape the government farmers in return for public tax | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
payers money that they'll receive, to give back to the community | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
some environmental gain. To show that they're looking | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
after the countryside, that they're thinking about energy, | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
water pollution and a whole And in exchange for receiving | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
public money, farmers are going to demonstrate that | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
they're looking And that's the big change | :01:46. | :01:46. | |
in this big document. Farmers will need to reach certain | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
standards to get grants. The higher the standard, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
the bigger the grant. And it's hoped in ten years' time, | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
all Jersey farms will have met what's called the Leaf standard - | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
which would be a world first. to the challenge and gets | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
accreditation for their farm - whether it's cattle, | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
whether it's sheep or chickens or just the growing side - | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
if everyone steps up to the Leaf mark challenge, | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
Jersey's in a great place to market itself as an island | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
that is producing sustainable food, and that's going to | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
be a great message. Although Peter admits | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
the plan isn't perfect. He's worried there isn't more | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
to help young farmers Something dairy farmer | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
Darren knows very well. He gave up his organic | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
status two years ago Now he thinks the strategy | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
is too little, too late. Organic farming was | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
obviously the benchmark of all sustainable environmental | :02:46. | :02:46. | |
farming worldwide. We as an organic association | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
on the island asked government over three years ago to fund it, | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
otherwise it was in serious decline, they didn't do it, it has | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
had serious decline, and now they're out there | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
championing the fact that they're going to look | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
after the environment. It seems a little | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
too late in my book. And with the financial pot not | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
getting any bigger for farmers, the government hopes the subsidies | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
will be a big enough But Darren says while the States | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
is making the right noises, Securing reliable, sustainable, | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
and affordable air and sea links - that's the main priority people | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
in Guernsey want the Government to focus on when detailing | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
the islands future plan. That's the feedback from a series | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
of drop in workshops to help the Policy and Resources | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
committee decide the 20-year strategic vision due | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
to be debated in June. But Deputy Le Tocq told | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
BBC Radio Guernsey today that they can't focus | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
on immediate concerns. The a dichotomy if you like between | :03:53. | :04:06. | |
us fixing things that are a problem and the moment and being able to | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
look at things, step back and say, we might fix it at the moment but | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
there will be a novel problem next year and a view yet down the line. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
We need a broader look to see what we might have, to make it more | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
sustainable and warm to map a solution. | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
The cost of water is going up in Jersey. | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Prices will increase by two percent in April - | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
that's around two pence for the average household. | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
The rise follows one of the driest winters for years and the extra | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
costs Jersey Water have had to incur for the treatment of supplies | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
Jersey's Education Minister has survived a motion of censure over | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
The motion was called for by a politician who claims | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
the Minister used misleading information in presenting his | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
Like many other departments, Education is having to make savings | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
whether through means-testing free nursery places or reducing grants | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
But plans to cut the pay of newly recruited teachers got | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
the Education Minister into hot water. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Backbencher deputy Geoff Southern called for a motion of censure | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
against the Minister - that's a reprimand by the States | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
accusing him of using misleading figures. | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
Teachers in Jersey currently start on ?38,000 a year. | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
it to just under ?34k, which the Minister argues | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
teachers in the UK - the least experienced | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
and qualified - with level three teachers in Jersey - | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
those with at least a 2:2 degree and post-grad in education - | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
because the island doesn't recruit below a level three. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
But Deputy Southern says that's comparing apples and oranges, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
the Minister however says it still adds up. | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
Jersey level three teachers would still get more than level | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
three teachers in the UK - including those in better paid | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
But the motion of censure was defeated overwhelmingly. | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
So was it all just a waste of States' time? | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Well you can argue that but I believe ministers | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
in particular and their assistants should listen carefully | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
to the will of the States that we're given open, | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
straightforward and honest answers and information. | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
And though the Minister survived the motion, | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
does the whole debacle throw doubt over his plans to cut pay? | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
No, I don't, not at all, it goes with the territory, | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
you have to make difficult decisions, we have to make | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
budget requirements, we have to make sure | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
we are operating fully, so we protected our front line | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
services and are still on track to making education a top priority'. | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
The question now is what impact any pay cut would have to teacher | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Over 900 people have signed a petition | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
against Jersey's Chief Minister receiving a pay rise. | :07:03. | :07:03. | |
Reform Jersey launched the online petition | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
following a recommendation from the States Members Remuneration | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
Review Body for the island's most senior politician to be paid ?7000 | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
more than the flat line rate of ?46,000 | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
currently received by all politicians. | :07:13. | :07:26. | |
Most politicians aren't worth the money they are paid because they | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
don't act in the interest of ordinary islanders and our | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
democratic system does not give the right level of accountability to | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
politicians. If you are going to be a small, you should be held to | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
account by the public more so I would be good any pay rise until the | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
proper checks and balances included in our political system. | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
Guernsey's biggest horse race could be cancelled this year. | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
Organisers are struggling to put on the event and are looking | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
The May Day bank holiday flat race draws crowds and competitors | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
But as Mike Wilkins reports, increasing transport costs | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
What this man doesn't know about horses isn't worth knowing. | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
Thadie Griffith is one of a handful of farriers in Guernsey. | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
He also helps run the annual horse racing event. | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
But this year he says it may have to be cancelled | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
The event draws thousands of spectators | :08:14. | :08:28. | |
Unless he can find people to help us with the course and financially, | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
yes, there is a problem and it could be that they might have to run this | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
race once every two years or something just to keep it going. | :08:45. | :08:45. | |
The event draws thousands of spectators | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
but rising costs are forcing the organisers to think again. | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
It costs ?30,000 to host and the transport links are not helping. | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
They are going down fast, Jewish great, because people cannot get | :09:05. | :09:18. | |
here quick enough. -- tourist rates. This has provided a national | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
grandstand to watch the races. The question is, will there be anything | :09:23. | :09:23. | |
to see on the 1st of May? Well, romances in the air but are | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
things hotting up in response to the let's find out. | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
Through the morning, quite cloudy but a lot of missed is perhaps. Some | :09:40. | :09:50. | |
stealth of rain around at first and that rain will bring some thunder. | :09:51. | :10:00. | |
That cleared in mid to late morning. This is the weather front | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
approaching. Coming into was denied. Clearing eastwards. Heading through | :10:05. | :10:10. | |

showers. High pressure more or less. David more cloud. Through tonight, | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
we have starry skies initially but that cloud does tend to build. A | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
view mist patches and the risk of some forward. Coming in a | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
south-easterly direction. Could be quite a wet start to think tomorrow | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
morning. Rain could be quite heavy. Some thunder. As that clears, we see | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
some sunshine and temperatures of around 11 Celsius. Quite a mild day. | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
These are high times -- times of high water. Southward and east for | :10:55. | :11:06. | |

to the garden centre, a visit to a gallery, | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
or just chatting over a cup of tea? If you do you might be exactly | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
the kind of person needed by They're calling for more volunteers | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
to buddy up with someone with dementia in a scheme | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
to help tackle loneliness. Harriet Bradshaw has been to Newquay | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
to find out how it works. She's got Alzheimer's, | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
which affects her memory and her thinking, and the knock-on | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
consequences can leave There you go, Pam. | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
Nice and gentle. For Pam, she's getting out | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
more and more now thanks Yeah, we do. | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
Yeah. We are a good | :13:16. | :13:29. | |
partnership, aren't we? Yeah, yeah. | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
We have a lot of fun. They've been paired | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
through a new scheme giving people with dementia the chance to continue | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
the hobbies they love in the community, but there | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
is a shortage of volunteers. The demand is so high | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
for the service in Newquay and St Austell where it's currently | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
being provided, that we've had to close waiting list, | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
and at the moment, for everyone volunteer we have, there are three | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
people waiting to be matched We would like to be able | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
to provide the people with dementia on the waiting list | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
with a volunteer, but also eventually to expand the service | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
across the rest of Cornwall, so that the more people that we have | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
who want to have one to come on board and make a difference, | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
really, the better it is for I find, as well, I've gained more | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
confidence volunteering. I am not one to go out | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
and about much on my own, but, As I say, it's given me | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
more confidence, and, Pam had stopped playing bowls | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
when her husband died, but picking it up again has | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
given her a new lease of life. It's changed my life, getting out | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
of the house and meeting people. The Alzheimer's Society says by 2021 | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
more than 1 million people will be living with dementia, | :14:47. | :14:56. | |
so volunteer work is Harriet Bradshaw, | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
BBC Spotlight, Newquay. Next tonight, love and loss - | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
and today of all days is the perfect opportunity to marvel | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
at the enduring power of love with the release of letters home | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
written by soldiers fighting They've been made public | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
by descendants to mark the forthcoming centenary | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
of the Battle of Passchendaele. John Henderson's been to meet | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
the great-granddaughter of a soldier who wrote to his wife, | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
telling her: "You were the only one | :15:30. | :15:30. | |
I ever loved, the one My darling, if this should ever | :15:31. | :15:44. | |
reach you, it will be a sure sign that I am gone under, and what they | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
of view do not know, but there is one above that will see to you and | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
not let you starve. The language of love undiminished | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
after 100 years. You have been the best and are you | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
deeply. How much, you will never know. | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
Like thousands around him on the battlefield, Private Albert Ford | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
thought constantly about home and his wife and six children who he | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
left behind. The youngest was born in June 1917 | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
and he had already gone to the front so he never saw her. A photograph | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
was taken of the six children to be sent to him, but I do not know | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
whether he did or did not see it. Private Ford was initially a | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
merchant seaman and that his ship was torpedoed and the letters | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
revealed a coach of guilt about taking part in the greatest war. | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
He volunteered to sign up and I think that is why there is this | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
tinge of regret that goes through the letter. | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
It was posted to the front -- he was posted to the front and was killed | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
in action on the 26th of October 19 17. The last letter home was made | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
public and in it he tells his wife Edith to marry again if she ever | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
gets the chance. She never did marry again. She kept | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
all of his letters together and died in 1956. Shortly before her death, | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
she claims she saw him in her bedroom. She was certain he had come | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
for her. His great grand daughter who lives | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
in Dartmoor, and do her the latter home is the ultimate love letter. | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
Know that my last were of you... Now it wouldn't be Valentine's Day | :17:27. | :17:39. | |
without flowers, and, if roses aren't your thing, | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
there are plenty of other More than 1,700 different species | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
of flowers have been counted blooming at National Trust | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
properties across the south-west. It's the 12th year for the annual | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
flower count, and although numbers are down on last year, | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
they're still very high and suggest Clare Woodling has been to one | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
of the counts in Saltram. "A flower blossoms | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
for its own joy" - And this year they are in abundance | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
on National Trust properties There will always be | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
the staple things in flowers, things like the snowdrops | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
and camellias at this time of year, they are always in flower, | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
so there's always the familiar things, but with a garden | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
like this, there are 1500 That's not different plants, | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
that's different types of plants. And there are always | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
going to be surprises. There is always something that | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
has tried to throw up a flower unexpectedly, | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
and that's always As you can see, there are lots | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
of crocus here in front of us, but they are all the same type | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
of crocus, so although there are hundreds of the plants here, | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
this all only counts as one So you do not have to | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
count every single head? No, otherwise I would be | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
here for weeks if I had to do that. This is a carefully planned | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
and it is the only such It originates from Nepal and has | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
a lovely sweet fragrance. Because it blooms in February, | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
it needs all of the ploys it can get to attract bees and other insects | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
in to help the flowers pollinate. Cataloguing all of the different | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
varieties each year offers a moment to reflect on how | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
the garden is evolving. The chance of doing this flower | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
count is a chance to really be able to focus on that, | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
because we are so busy trying to keep on top of the practical, | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
day-to-day gardening, that it is a really nice opportunity | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
just to slow down a bit and focus on what is actually | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
going on in the garden. These are Helleborus, | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
which are otherwise known They are a really, really | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
lovely looking flower. As the years go on, the data may | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
give an insight into changing weather patterns on native | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
and exotic species, and also what needs to be done to keep | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
these gardens coming up roses, and camellias and snowdrops and | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
crocuses and daffodils and tulips... Now, let's set the scene - | :20:04. | :20:17. | |
a spray of flowers, a nice romantic light, | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
after all, this is But in Somerset a romantic light | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
to rival even this has been lit The St Valentine's Day | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
lamp is the county's only working gas lamp, | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
and every February 14 it's lit by the man who spent | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
months restoring it. The ceremony has seen at least one | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
proposal over the years, but, as Michelle Ruminski reports, | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
the gas lighter is now looking for an apprentice | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
to take on the role. Reg's love affair with a Valentine | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
lamp all began when he found Over nearly three decades, | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
he has put his heart and soul into restoring it, | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
decorating it with symbols of love, All I know is I got carried away | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
and, I think, anyway, I fell in love with the lamp | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
by accident, and it controlled me Because I often say, | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
why ever did I start? But having started, | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
rather like in a romance, And it's fair to say | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
that the Valentine gaslamp has a special place in many | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
other people's hearts as well. I think you can't fault it, | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
and I'm just hoping that people will take good care of it, | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
because you won't find anything How many years have you been | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
going to the ceremony? So it really does mean | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
something to you? Yes, no, it does, and a lot of other | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
people around here as well. None more so than Dave | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
and Sue, Reg's daughter. It was here two years ago | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
that I proposed to sue, It was here two years ago | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
that I proposed to Sue, and they brought with me | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
a heart-shaped red cushion and got down on one knee | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
and popped the question. A great shock, but wonderful shock, | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
and now we are planning to get married and live the rest | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
of our lives together. We will always have that history | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
with the Valentine lamp. But, with Reg growing older | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
and with his family living up north, he is urgently looking for someone | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
to replace him. You see, I am looking | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
for a lamp lighter. Tonight, Reg has done | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
the honours for the 23rd time. Many turned out for this Valentines | :22:30. | :22:41. | |
tradition. Who knows? Maybe it will spark someone else to fall in love | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
with it as well. Michel Ruminski, BBC | :22:44. | :22:44. | |
Spotlight, Frome. Let's hope they keep that tradition | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
going. I hate to spoil the romantic scene here, but there was a risk | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
assessment had to be filled in for this lit candle and we have a man | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
standing by, the editor, to put the candle out if it gets dangerous. But | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
that spoils the romantic ambience. We need someone to fan the flames. | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
Do not do that. It is time for the weather forecast. What is it looking | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
like, Holly? Don't worry. Good. I thought you had | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
left me out. I will say that to the end of the forecast. Yes, do not | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
touch the candle. It is Valentines evening and how lovely. Happy | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
Valentine's Day. Roses are red, violets are blue, and for some of us | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
today the sky was to. Here in Cornwall, a lovely picture and | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
springlike. For many of us it was more grave. Low cloud around and a | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
bit of mist and hill fog as well as outbreaks of rain. And it gradually | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
works its way eastwards and improves from the West. Amazingly, tomorrow, | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
we do it again. Another weather front approaching with some styles | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
of heavy rain in the morning. That rain could be quite lively but also | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
possibly bringing thunder. Brighter in the afternoon, much like today, | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
and a bit less breezy than today. This is the weather bug affecting as | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
earlier and that pushes eastwards. You will see this next weather front | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
waiting in the wings. That will go through to the second part of | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
tonight into tomorrow, and it will clear and then higher pressure | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
building its way in on Thursday. It will settle. Comes with a mist, but | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
first I should break. Light winds, dryness, and brightness. That | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
high-pressure doing its best but we have got a weather front | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
approaching, and then it does start to bring you a bit more cloud and | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
maybe just a little bit of rain. More so later in the day. This great | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
stretch of cloud associated with our weather fronts and patchy rain | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
underneath it. This cloud also quite low but it way eastwards. That rain | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
is coming in from the West. Also these showers working their way | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
towards us. That is the picture through this evening and tonight. | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
Quite heavy showers working their way around midnight, and further | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
ease some starry skies initially but some low cloudy mist and hill fog | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
re-bonding. In the early hours some more persistent rain is working its | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
way in across or more. Some odd rumbles of thunder but also a mild | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
night with loads of seven or eight Celsius. Heading through tomorrow | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
morning and a bed of a wet start. Rain could be heavy through the | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
course of the morning. It worked its way eastwards, good news, becomes | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
showery and those showers peel away. Some sunshine coming out. Quite a | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
springlike look into tomorrow afternoon and the wind will be that | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
bit lighter. Initially a brisk southerly but eases into the | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
afternoon, I ran to the south-westerly. These are top | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
temperatures. Height of ten or 11 Celsius. As high as 13 or 14 | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
Celsius, so not a bad look for things at all and much milder than | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
we are used to operate the several recent days, especially last week | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
into the weekend. For the Isles of Scilly, early heavy rain should nip | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
through quickly during the morning and much of the day will have | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
sunshine. The risk of some heavy showers. Not too many. Usual times | :26:10. | :26:23. | |
of high water. For servers, the waves are not looking too big. It | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
could be cleaned along the north coast I suspect at first, but went | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
veering around to become choppy. -- file servers. Coastal waters | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
forecast, Winter southerly at four or five, and using a late into the | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
afternoon. Rain or showers visibility moderate or good and | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
light but moderate at times. Overall, not looking too bad over | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
the next few days. Although we have got a view things to watch out for, | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
early rain through tomorrow morning and quite heavy and thundery. Could | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
improve come the afternoon. There looking like the most promising day | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
of the next view, with high pressure in charge and winds lighter than | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
they have been. A bit of mist and fog early on should clear and then | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
persistent sunshine on Thursday. Even though that high-pressure stays | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
in charge for Friday, some cloud working in the risk of a bit more | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
rain by day and perhaps more persistent rain into the evening. | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
Into the weekend, I think it tries to stay settled, and a bit of rain | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
but hopefully not too much. Generally a reasonable picture. | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
You have not even have any fizz. Come and join us. This is for | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
Valentines night. Thank you very much. Happy Valentine 's night. See | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
you again tomorrow. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. | :27:46. | :28:15. | |
