:04:10. > :04:14.had the same hurt from cancer. My wife had cancer and is now
:04:15. > :04:19.thankfully over it. My mother died of cancer two months ago. Lots of

:04:23. > :04:27.huge need to raise lots of money in order to find the cure. Our aim is
:04:28. > :04:34.to raise around ?10,000 but it would be nice to do like I did when I went

:05:20. > :05:23.nice day across the East Midlands. We are starting to lose the clearer
:05:24. > :05:27.skies now. The cloud is increasing and a weather front is starting to
:05:28. > :05:30.work its way in from the West. A mild night with temperatures
:05:31. > :05:34.dropping to a minimum of 12 ulcers. Judge tomorrow, that weather front
:05:35. > :05:39.slowly works its way eastwards. It will produce the bottom of the burst
:05:40. > :05:42.of rain at times. It will give us a pretty wet afternoon tomorrow. With
:05:43. > :05:47.all the cloud cover as well, temperatures will reach a maximum of
:05:48. > :05:51.16 Celsius. Not as warm as today. The Outlook: The first week of June
:05:52. > :05:57.will be rather unsettled at times. Further outbreaks of rain.

:06:08. > :06:13.Hello. Most of us have enjoyed at least one day of lovely weather this
:06:14. > :06:19.weekend. That weather will be harder to come by this week. It has been up
:06:20. > :06:25.and down. Yes, rain or showers at times. Drier, sunny weather, turning
:06:26. > :06:29.cooler. Signs are that by the end of the week temperatures will recover.
:06:30. > :06:34.We have seen rain today in Glasgow, Edinburgh, western fringes of the UK
:06:35. > :06:39.too. The cloud will spread east overnight, with further outbreaks of
:06:40. > :06:43.rain into the west. Temperatures are in double figures as Monday begins.
:06:44. > :06:47.We get the sunshine - a lot of cloud around. Some patchy rain. You can
:06:48. > :06:52.see there are gaps within this. It is not raining everywhere. There may
:06:53. > :06:54.be glimmers of brightness to begin the day.
