:26:19. > :26:23.weather around. Saturday looks the best, with lots of sunshine. It's
:26:24. > :26:27.breezy throughout, with strong, strengthening winds on Sunday. A few

:26:55. > :26:59.do start to see more in the way of cloud in the afternoon. It may
:27:00. > :27:03.produce one or two showers. But I suspect we will remain generally

:27:19. > :27:26.moving during the evening. The winds will strengthen, so strong, gusty
