These are Tuesday's headlines. for the news you are. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Guernsey greenhouse gas emissions are down, | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
Private nurseries in Jersey say they need guaranteed States funding | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
I think it is the lack of communication. What is going on. It | :00:18. | :00:31. | |
could impact people severely and taking away the funding will have a | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
massive impact and I'm not sure they have thought about the wider | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
implications. gives primary school reading | :00:37. | :00:37. | |
a boost. After thunder and lightning today | :00:38. | :00:49. | |
and big waves affecting coastlines, it is a little bit quieter tomorrow | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
but lots of cloud and rain. More details later. | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
New figures show Guernsey's cut its greenhouse gas | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
But despite the report showing an encouraging | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
reduction in emission levels, there's no time to be complacent, | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Guernsey will soon be exporting its non-recyclable waste to Sweden. | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
But the island's landfill sites are still causing problems. | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
The emissions from this rubbish contribute to the totals. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
offenders are waste, accounting for 29%. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
Transport, contributing more than 26%. | :01:38. | :01:38. | |
And energy power generation - pumping out 15%. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Transport's one area the public can help. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
In the UK, there are financial incentives to switch to electric | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
cars, and the British government is also considering a scrappage | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
But there are no signs of that from Guernsey's government. | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
As you probably know, in the UK, a lot of taxes, there are charges | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
relating to higher emission vehicles and a big incentive for the | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
manufacturers and consumers to go for lower emitting vehicles and we | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
benefit from that by virtue of sharing a similar market, even | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
though we do not have the incentives they have in the UK, there are | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
reasons to own and drive an electric vehicle in Guernsey. Guernsey agreed | :02:26. | :02:26. | |
to an 8% reduction in emissions. It's so far managed just over 29%, | :02:27. | :02:38. | |
and unless the island makes significant changes to its energy | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
use, then demand will continue Two teachers from Jersey's De La | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Salle college are in a critical condition after being knocked down | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
by a car. It happened while they were in | :02:52. | :02:52. | |
France on a skiing trip last week. They were hit by a speeding | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
driver who left the scene, De La Salle's assistant headteacher | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
says he doesn't expect the pair will be back in Jersey before | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
the summer term. An inquest in Jersey has found that | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
a teenage motorcyclist from St Helier died from multiple | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
injuries after hitting a car. 19-year-old Nathan Vibert | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
was riding his motorbike along La Route de la Hougue Bie | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
in January 2016 when he approached a stationary bus and lost control, | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
colliding with a car coming Private nurseries in Jersey | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
are worried they won't survive without guaranteed | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
funding in future. Although money's been secured | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
for nurseries until next year, there's been no agreement about how | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
they'll be funded after that. Nursery days may be carefree play | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
days, but there's confusion over nursery education funding | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
in Jersey that's making staff It could impact people severely in | :03:50. | :04:03. | |
getting people back to work and taking away funding will have a | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
massive impact and I'm not sure they have thought of the wider | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
implications. I would be worried. It should be fair for everyone. That | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
the private nurseries had funding was really good because all children | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
had the opportunity to go and have education. | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
A nurseries lobby group says the Education Department is making | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
We're extremely frustrated, because we've been in contact | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
with them, we've been in meetings with them and they gave | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
us assurances that they would inform us. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
They actually cancelled two meetings we had arranged with them | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
on the basis they had no new information to give us | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
and they would definitely contact us as soon as the money had been | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
The Education Minister wasn't available for interview today | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
but speaking earlier, his chief education officer explained | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
that the update on finances wasn't passed on because they didn't have | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
time to talk before a States debate on the subject. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
There's no decision on how much funding private and States-run | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
nurseries will get after next year, so talks with the Education | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
Department will have to continue until an agreement's reached. | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
Calls for supermarkets to introduce specialist trollies will benefit | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
children with autism and disabilities in both | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
It follows a successful petition in the UK which saw over 600 | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
supermarkets bring in these purpose-built trollies | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
for bigger children with specialist needs. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Now the Channel Islands Co-Op has listened to a local campaign | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
and ordered eight similar trollies for their larger stores | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
We are always keen to look at improvements that enhance the | :05:42. | :05:53. | |
shopping experience. We want to be inclusive and have as many members | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
shopping with us. When we heard about it we did research and found | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
the trolleys, they are ordered and we have contacted the people | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
concerned to let them know they are on the way. | :06:06. | :06:05. | |
A survey sent to Jersey homes asking for views on the postal service has | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
a bit of an embarrassing mistake on it - there isn't enough | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
Jersey Post, who commissioned the survey, | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
They say they're making sure it won't happen again | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
and in the meantime ask people to just write the last | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
letter of their postcode next to the fifth box. | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
It's not unusual for lost property to be left behind at a gym, | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
but this is something a little bit different. | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
Two chickens were found walking around the car park outside | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
Beau Sejour gym in Guernsey earlier this month. | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
They're being looked after by the GSPCA, who are asking | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
the owner to come forward and claim them. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
The number of Jersey primary schools getting extra literacy support has | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
doubled after the success of a community scheme. | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Every Child Our Future is a charity that funds one-to-one help | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Launched last September, it's not only grown in interest | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
from volunteers, but has also boosted reading levels, | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
They say practice makes perfect, and it seems to be proving right | :07:04. | :07:17. | |
For the last six months, volunteers have been giving | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
up their time to sit and listen to stories read by pupils. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
It started in four schools but now it's been rolled out to four | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
To read with more confidence and more fluidity, to talk | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
to them about their books and their comprehension of the text, | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
and those things are really, really important, and we do it | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
in school, but where we got additional resources, | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
complementory resources to do that, as well - that is really important, | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
because of the interest its gained from those wanting to help. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
There are now 270 volunteers supporting these children. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
I never got that opportunity so it's nice to see them be able | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
to have that extra chance to be able to read and write and interact | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
It's really just giving something back to the community and helping | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
They're potentially struggling with their reading because English | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
It's hoped all primary schools in the island will be able | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
to benefit from this partnership with the Every Child | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
Especially as Jersey literacy levels for primary-age pupils lags | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
But the chief education officer doesn't want to push it too soon. | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
We want to go at the speed where we can recruit | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
and train enough volunteers, because it's very important | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
when children make a relationship with a volunteer that continues | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
So we don't want to spread our volunteers too thinly. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
So it seems the literacy levels of Jersey's children | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
will continue to increase as long as there are enough reading | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
It's been a wet and windy start to the day in the Channel Islands. | :09:03. | :09:15. | |
The combination of high winds and high tides made | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
In Guernsey, waves on the eest coast made for some | :09:18. | :09:27. | |
-- west coast made for great pictures at Vazon. | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
While in Jersey, Dave Evans captured this amazing shot of the sea | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
crashing over the sea wall on Victoria Avenue, which | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
David, there is a rainbow behind you. Is that something to expect? | :09:35. | :09:52. | |
This was taken today. The weather watchers have been out. This was | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
taken by Chris. It looks like we will continue to see showers left | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
behind this evening but the lion's share, the ones with thunder and | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
lightning, we have had everything today, and tomorrow is more | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
generally wet. Outbreaks of rain, brighter, we might have to wait | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
until the end of the day for late sunshine. The wind is dropping | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
tonight and it will be a quieter day tomorrow but windy again by the | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
evening. Some parts reaching gale force. You can see cloud swirling | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
around a deep area of low pressure with several centres. A new area | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
develops on these two weather systems and that will be over us | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
around the middle of the day tomorrow. Once it goes through, the | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
west and north-west winds that follow will increase the strength of | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
wind. Thursday looks like the best day of the wheat, Brighton drive | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
with high pressure and we get sunshine back. -- it will be bright | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
and dry. More speckled cloud behind this means some showers but | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
predominantly dry overnight and gradually the wind will drop. It | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
might take until after midnight. It should be a dry night. Tomorrow, we | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
will see more rain. For some it will be welcome. It will be patchy in | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
nature, eventually moving away after lunchtime with the few showers | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
following. Later in the afternoon perhaps sunny spells developing. 10 | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
degrees the top temperature. Also becoming increasingly windy. The | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
westerly winds probably reaching gale force into the evening. | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
The high water times... Pretty big waves for many of the surfing | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
beaches. Some dangerous conditions. The forecast says the winds picking | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
up six, seven by the end of the day. Bright and dry on Thursday and more | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
wet weather on Friday. Charlie. As always we would like to | :12:04. | :12:07. | |

after the BBC national With mobile phones constantly | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
pinging in houses full of gadgets, you might think you have an allergy | :12:37. | :12:50. | |
to modern-day life. But how far would you | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
go to escape it all? One woman from North Devon says | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
everything about a modern home - from chemicals to radio waves - | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
were making her ill, so she and her husband have gone | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
back to nature and built their home in the Tarka Valley | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
from mud and straw. But as Johnny Morris reports, | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
they're now having to take it down because they don't have | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
planing permission. You have to look closely, | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
but there are people Being plugged into a | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
virtual reality machine, We're collecting water, | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
we're chopping wood, Kate and Alan may be hidden | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
from view, but they are still You can't, of course, | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
just put up a house where you want. This is our nest, this | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
is our everything. We've sculpted it with our | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
hands from the soil. If it is the good life, | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
it doesn't come easy. They have to keep on topping up | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
the mud used to build their home. But for Kate, it's a much better | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
life than she had before. She goes as far as saying | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
that modern day living I think it was the water | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
and the electricity and the Wi-Fi and the paint on the walls and, | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
you know, a build-up. I didn't realise how ill | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
I was until we moved here, There are now many medical | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
conditions, so is this one of them? Can you be intolerant | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
to the modern day? Some doctors believe you can, | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
but the NHS doesn't Multiple chemical sensitivity | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
is a condition where the body's immune and detoxification | :14:30. | :14:38. | |
pathways become overloaded. We've got people that simply find | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
they have an allergic reaction to bleach and try to avoid | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
perfumes and traffic fumes. Living in an ordinary house, | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
especially a new build or a house that has just been decorated | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
furnished, it becomes a big problem. But it's not the medical landscape | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
which is important here. And the local authority says they've | :14:55. | :14:56. | |
got to abide by the law. Kate points to examples in Wales | :14:57. | :15:16. | |
where the One Planet planning laws can allow low impact | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
homes like there's. Even if we lose everything here, | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
I feel it's really important for people like us to be able | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
to live on their own land sustainably without | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
creating any damage. But having lost all their appeals, | :15:27. | :15:30. | |

marked across the South West, but it didn't go according to plan | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
for our reporter on HMS Albion. And we're at another shrove Tuesday | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
tradition where they're Have you got enough paper they're? | :15:55. | :16:04. | |
I've got scripts everywhere here! All of our main football sides | :16:05. | :16:21. | |
are in action this evening - Second in League 2 Plymouth | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
are at home to Notts County whose fans will be given a free pasty | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
on arrival at Home Park. Exeter are away at Crawley | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
and Yeovil are at home to Mansfield. In the National League, | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
Torquay are away to Solihull Moors. I'm assuming this is me, because my | :16:35. | :16:44. | |
script is everywhere! I will carry on. | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
You may be watching tonight's programme in the midst of pancake | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
making, as it is Shrove Tuesday. Spare a thought for the ship crew | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
making pancakes on the water. You might not expect pancake day to | :17:02. | :17:14. | |
be a top priority on the HMS Albion. Chefs Rebecca and Abigail have | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
helped make around 600 pancakes today already. We are just doing | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
batch cooking, so keep them coming, put them out, that's it. Is pancake | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
day a big thing in the Navy? Do they all expect pancakes on Shrove | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
Tuesday? It is more for the morale, if you are not at home, this keeps | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
morale up. We have pancakes for them. | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
The girls have been helping to make hundreds of pancakes, so I thought | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
it would only be fair if I had a go at making pancakes naval style. | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
Let's see if I can push it around a bit. When I make these at home, the | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
first one always turns out to be a disaster. Now for the moment of | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
truth, this is where I try tossing it. Are you ready? Are you with me? | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
Oh, it's stuck to the pan! It won't come off. Luckily, the proof of the | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
pancake isn't in the tossing, but beating. The girls can do it much | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
better than me. Now for the best bit, time to tuck in, though I | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
decided not to include my burnt offering. It all looks delicious, | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
and is also serving an important purpose. Just to keep everyone, | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
family, keep them all close and tight, and keep the traditions | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
alive, really. And in case any of you were wondering what the crew's | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
favourite topping is,... Chocolate spread. Chocolate spread. This is | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
the one that is burned, but maybe we can hide it at the bottom. This is a | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
not very able seaman signing off for BBC Spotlight. | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
I wonder how many people have had the same problem, pancakes sticking | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
to the pan. I'm not going to her house for tea. And the tradition in, | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
is to hurl a silver ball down the streets, but the focus this morning | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
was mounting a lead replica of the silver ball on top of the town hall, | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
and inside is a time capsule provided by primary school. | :19:23. | :19:22. | |
Christine Butler reports. Making a lead replica of the silver | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
ball with the strong Cornish tradition. That includes molten | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
metal for the inscription, town and country, do your best. As I was | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
making it, I realised that it has this great big void inside that | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
would be ideal to put some kind of time capsule in it, so I thought | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
that would be an interesting thing for the school. And the school | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
couldn't get enough of it. How did you manage to make that out of | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
metal? A little bit of history stuck 45 feet in the air that will last | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
hundreds of years sparked imaginations. Now you can see inside | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
if I take it apart. What is the most exciting thing they would find in | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
there? What is invented now and how much technology has improved. The | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
money is good, because it's, they will have a king or queen, so they | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
will have that on the coin, and the notes will be different, the ?5 | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
notes. Last-minute touches are overseen by | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
both school and town councils. All eyes turn upwards as Tim sends the | :20:47. | :20:56. | |
bell turret in some pretty windy, hairy zinc conditions. Thankfully, | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
it all goes to plan. Just hours before, the real silver ball takes | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
centre stage at this age-old sport of the Shrove Tuesday hurl. | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
Christine Butler, BBC Spotlight. But despite the wintry showers some | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
of us endured today, spring has sprung - | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
or at least that's according And they say it's all because | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
the magnolia is in full bloom, and to prove it we have some | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
in the studio. We'll have a closer look at these | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
fabulous blooms in a minute, but first, Clare Woodling has been | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
to see the many different It's a new tradition | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
in an ancient setting. It's a link the owner | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
of Caerhays Castle was keen to show The 12 so-called great gardens | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
of Cornwall agree on the magnolia in bloom as signalling | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
the new season. We go out and we look at our biggest | :22:01. | :22:12. | |
and best early flowering magnolia, And when we have each got 50 flowers | :22:13. | :22:22. | |
out in bloom and looking Though the Magnolia campbellii | :22:23. | :22:32. | |
is the flower identified as marking the start of spring, | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
there are about 50 varieties Before the magnolia | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
is bloom, they are covered Furry and soft, these protect | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
the bud from frosts. They then fall away to reveal | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
the flower and its petals. Magnolias and spring is only | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
a recent association, made in the last five years | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
by the 12 great Gardens. But one designed to draw attention | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
to the colour and vibrancy of Cornwall at a time | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
when many of us are still wrapped In Cornwall, with all mild climate, | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
spring comes much earlier down here, and there is far more to see that | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
you would expect seen your garden. The Welsh may think | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
of their daffodils. And what we are really saying | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
upcountry tourists who come down here as garden visitors late | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
in the year, come earlier, In 2016, the magnolias bloomed | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
unusually early, but this year, they've been cautious, | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
as a hard frost can they've been cautious, as a hard | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
frost can turn the petals brown. Visit Cornwall said last year 20 ABC | :23:27. | :23:37. | |
to -- 28% of people coming to call what went to one of the main gardens | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
like the lost Gardens of Halligan. It is hoping that the blooming | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
magnolias will bring the tourist earlier in the year, and show people | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
there is more to the county than the attractions of summer at the | :23:54. | :23:54. | |
seaside. And thank you so much to Jamie, the | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
head gardener at Caerhays for giving us these fabulous blooms today, we | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
have five varieties here, but there are 450 types at the castle. They | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
are unbelievable, they don't look real, thank you very much for those. | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
The only thing I think about magnolias is that they get battered | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
out about a bit in the wind and the rain. And we have some to come, | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
don't we? We do, and what you can't see at | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
home is the incredible smell of these Flowers. We will continue to | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
have a little wintry nurse. Most of the showers have gone, a few I left | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
behind, quite a covering of snow in places this morning, and also over | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
the high ground of Dartmoor, this is a captain. A light dusting here, but | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
this was earlier today over Exmoor, where there was some snow and over | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
the really high ground of both Exmoor and Dartmoor, quite a bit of | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
snow fell through the night, and quite a covering first thing this | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
morning, but the sunshine has melted a lot of the snow that has fallen. | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
There won't be too many problems with ice overnight, the main problem | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
will be the fact that we will get some more persistent rain tomorrow. | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
Tomorrow is less windy at first, there will be patchy rain around, | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
sunny spells late in the day, but primarily for Cornwall. We have an | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
area of low pressure with lots of clouds swirling around, and we start | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
to lose that over the next 12 hours. You will notice also some more cloud | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
out to the west, developing into an area of low pressure that moves into | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
the English Channel around the day tomorrow, and behind it, pretty | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
lively wins which will pick up again towards the evening. As we move into | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
Thursday, there is a ridge of high pressure, so if you have anything to | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
do outside, Thursday is your day, because it will be very settled. All | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
change on Friday, another area of wind and rain. The line of showers | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
earlier today gave a little thunder and lightning, that has now moved to | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
northern France. Clear skies are what we will see overnight tonight, | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
so it will turn quite chilly. Whilst it is a predominantly dry story, an | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
isolated shower is possible at some point through the night. Clear skies | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
allowing the temperatures to drop as low as three Celsius. Coming up from | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
the south, a lot of cloud, and that will produce outbreaks of rain. It | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
will be patchy, particularly across northern parts of Dorset, the North | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
of Somerset. Hill fog developing. Then the clearance comes late in the | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
day, some late sunshine across more western parts of Cornwall. At the | :26:46. | :26:53. | |
same time, it becomes pretty windy. Seven, eight, nine Celsius the best | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
temperatures tomorrow. By the end of the day, it becomes windy, and for | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
the Isles of Scilly, the rain clears, bright and increasingly | :27:03. | :27:03. | |
windy. Times of high water: Big waves for all of our coastal | :27:04. | :27:21. | |
locations, and messy conditions. As I have mentioned, make the most of | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
Thursday. It is going to be the best day of the week. Have a good | :27:28. | :27:28. | |
evening. This is the most fragrant the studio | :27:29. | :27:39. | |
has been. I can hardly see David Vaughan of! Have a lovely evening | :27:40. | :27:40. | |
and enjoy your pancakes. Good night. MUSIC: Another Day Of Sun | :27:41. | :27:52. | |
