Soaring temperatures, flash floods and electrical storms. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Also tonight , should you bd allowed to take your children out | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Remembering the 11 young men who played in a cricket match at this | :00:14. | :00:25. | |
school 100 years ago who went off to war, but never came home | :00:26. | :00:37. | |
And probably the most famous image of World War I recreated on a | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
mammoth scale. We give you ` birds eye view. | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
First tonight, the heatwave which brought temperatures | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
The hottest spot was Writtld in Essex , where temperaturds | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
reached 32 degrees that's 90 degrees in Fahrenheit. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Network Rail imposed speed restrictions because of the heat. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
By contrast parts of the region had flash flooding. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
The details from our Chief Reporter Kim Riley. | :01:11. | :01:22. | |
At this morning 's leg ulcer clinic at Norwich Community Hospit`l | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
Marjorie Taylor not just having her leg attended to, staff also | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
dispensing advice on dealing with extreme heat. Marjorie was born in | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
India and is well up to the challenge. I shall stay inshde | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
during the worst part of thd day. I know that is between 11 and three. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
It is something I have alwaxs done anyway. I have always been careful. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
The trust has four teams of community nurses visiting some 00 | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
mainly elderly patients in their own homes. Some of them like to sit in | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
the sun, which we would not advise, particularly between the hotrs of 11 | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
and three. When we visited the patients in their own homes who are | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
given this advice about increasing their fluid intake and making sure | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
they have their curtains shtt when the sun is coming through dhrectly | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
onto them. For travellers trains from Liverpool Street and to | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
Colchester and Norwich have been subject to speed restrictions to | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
prevent damage to overhead lines. 14 services have been cancelled as a | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
result. This viewer recorded a lightning display over Essex last | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
night. Another film flash flooding close to a roundabout in Chdlmsford. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
The highways agency to make our warning drivers to take extra care. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
Whether this forecaster Chrhs Bell charted violent electrical storms. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
Mainly dry to start the evening but by midnight we are expecting heavy | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
showers and thunderstorms to develop across much of the region. There | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
will be a lot of lightning associated with these. This will | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
create most of the region bx the end of the night but we expect further | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
thunderstorms on Saturday at another road on Saturday night into Sunday | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
morning. There will be a lot of lightning which is something we do | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
not see very often in this country. People do not take it quite as | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
seriously as they should but if you can hear thunder you are close | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
enough to be struck by lightning. The town crier at Southall hn | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Suffolk at a special messagd this afternoon. Plenty of sunshine | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
today! We are experiencing ` heatwave. It is lovely on the | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
beach! Enjoy yourself. Up the coast this was the scene in Norfolk, a | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
bracing sea breeze keeping temperatures much more comfortable | :03:59. | :04:09. | |
than some of the hotspot inland What makes these are thunderstorms | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
so difficult to protect? We have a lot of very warm, moist air at the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
surface and it only takes a small, little left to let these | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
thunderstorms get going. Thd problem is forecasting where they whll | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
develop. When you get thunddrstorms in the UK it is generally e`sy to | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
tell when they will be. The wind at ground level is going one w`y but | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
thunderstorms are going the other. Today we have an easterly whnd but | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
the storms are coming from the South because the wind that is hated in | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
the atmosphere is coming from the south. Quickly, those peopld who are | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
at things like latitude, happy in danger? If they hear thunder the | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
advice is to seek some shelter. If you can hear thunder you can | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
potentially be struck by lightning. A couple from Essex have appeared | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
in court accused of taking their children out | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
of school without permission. James Haymore and his wife Dayna | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
pleaded not guilty. James and his wife in the coloured | :05:14. | :05:26. | |
lights, leaving Colchester Magistrates' Court with a ldgal | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
representative. They are facing legal action for failing to ensure | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
their son regularly attended school after taking an a family retnion. | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
They have pleaded not guiltx in the case has been adjourned unthl | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
November when the couple will face a two`day trial and during th`t file | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
they are expected to rule that the prosecution is unfair under | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
convention for human rights. The family's three children go to school | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
here, where the head teacher did not authorise the campaign trip to | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
America. The family were fined 60 by the County Council refusdd to | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
pay. New rules brought in bx the former Secretary of State for | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
education and peasants from taking their children out of school unless | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
circumstances are exception`l. At court with the family, keephng her | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
office to date with developlents is a legal officer for the org`nisation | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
liberty. Common`sense must prevail. Is criminalising parents for taking | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
their children out of school for family events really the best use of | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
public money? The rules that led to this ordeal goal in no way towards | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
addressing the deeper and more complex social problems that | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
contributes to some children repeatedly missing school. Hs the | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
family lose their fate they could each be fined ?1000. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
The pharmaceuticals giant Astra Zeneca showed off | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
its plans today for a new HP on the Addenbrooke's Hospital site today. | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
It should be operational within two years and would | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
This could be tainted his drug discovery powerhouse. The ddsign for | :07:04. | :07:18. | |
AstraZeneca's new global reset and develop the Centre corporatd | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
headquarters. A place where scientists hope to come up with | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
world beating treatments, h`ving recently fought off an unwelcome | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
takeover approach from Pfizdr, AstraZeneca today launched ` public | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
consultation on their plans. We wanted to be open and accessible to | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
the academic community, so by having a quarter open and having the | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
laboratory is visible from the outside, by having it invithng in a | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
building is going to stimul`te great collaboration. The plan is to build | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
the new premises here in thd Cambridge biomedical premisds near | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Addenbrooke's Hospital at a cost of ?330 million. At the Zeneca has an | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
existing research and development based in Cheshire, the plan is to | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
close that and the London headquarters and move most staff | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
year by 2016. It will be a big people but by the end 2000 people | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
will work here in Cambridge in a world`class facilities. Also moving | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
to the biomedical campus will be AstraZeneca's subset which dmploys | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
500 people near Cambridge. We work on a particular type of moldcule for | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
medical purposes, our colle`gues at AstraZeneca were on different | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
compounds. There are very m`ny different ways we can use these | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
combinations for medical development and we are excited by the | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
opportunity to collaborate. For AstraZeneca it is business `s usual. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Executives want to forget about the Pfizer bid and focus on the future. | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
But another takeover approach could be made. Pfizer could easilx come | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
back with a further bid if management at AstraZeneca who have | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
set themselves some very ambitious targets, do not deliver. At that | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
point Pfizer would be well`placed to come back and make an offer that | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
could to shareholders. The new campus would be at the heart of the | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
Cambridge science cluster. @nd hopefully British owned rather than | :09:26. | :09:26. | |
American. The Government says a plan | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
for a hyper acute stroke unht at Southend Hospital will be ddlayed | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
because of the performance of the The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
says before the unit opens the East of England Ambulance Trust needs to | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
improve response times. An advert showing how to spot | :09:38. | :09:48. | |
someone who makes the having a stroke. Clinical experts in stroke | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
care see Essex should have three hyper acute stroke units, whth the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
very best treatment is available around the clock. One of those units | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
should be here in South Essdx at Southend Hospital, or care for | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
patients year is already described an excellent. Incidence ten centre | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
the prospect of becoming evdn better was welcomed. If we can get that | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
unit it would be a great improvement towards the health and care of the | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
community. Strokes, the sooner he gets treated the better chance you | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
have of them doing something about it. My mother has been ill recently | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
and it could have been a stroke with her so I think it is very ilportant. | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
In the Commons, a Southend LP asked the government about the proposal. | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
What assessment has the Secretary of State made for the hyper actte | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
stroke unit in South Essex? We need further improvements in the | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
Ambulance Services for the Dast of England if we are going to do that | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
and that is what discussions are happening on. The target is to get | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
56% of patients who makes the day clock busting drug three hyper acute | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
stroke centre within one hotr. Other the arguments trust perform`nce is | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
improving the latest figures shows it only manages 52.7%. The `rguments | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
trust say they are aiming for continuous improvement, we will | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
health insiders were surprised the trust performance was cited as a | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
reason for so process towards a hyper acute stroke unit. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
The Harlow MP Robert Halfon's been appointed a ministerial aidd to | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
the Chancellor Mr Halfon, who has repeatedly lobbied | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
for cuts to tax on fuel and bingo, is now George Osborne's | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
The Chancellor Tweeted he w`s delighted at the appointment, | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
describing Mr Halfon as 'a brilliant campaigner'. | :11:44. | :11:44. | |
One of his recent achievements was winning a campaign to prevent | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
Back to the weather now and the dramatic events at Hemsby | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
A film crew from BBC East was filming | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
at the moment houses were swept into the sea by the tidal strge | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
David Whiteley has been back to the village for a special programme | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
which will be shown later this evening on BBC One. | :12:04. | :12:19. | |
It was the night at the and Jackie will mother forget. Last December | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
the home and two others on the Norfolk coast were washed away by | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
the storm surge. Returning to the village have a year later I expected | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
to face despondency and fear. But far from it, the community refuses | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
to give up on Hemsby, asked because losing houses here is nothing new. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
Dale who runs the cafe moved to the area with his parents in thd 90s. | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Our first place which was alleged 20 years ago when he came down, my dad | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
bought my mum one of these beach houses and it was situated, if you | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
can see the grass, that would be it. That is where it was? So whdre we | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
are, however half again before you got the DC? When we got it fewer 25 | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
feet away from the edge and thought, how lucky we are to have a sea view. | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
And within two or three days of high`tech, my mum 's house, for the | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
20th anniversary... How long have you had the property before it went | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
into DC? Three weeks. She h`d decorated it all, she had m`de | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
curtains, and then she saw `t floating away in DC. Despitd the | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
fact nature of the place, there are plenty who are not put off by the | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
set of disappearing over thd edge. This house is on the market for | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
?35,000. This was a holiday home in something at the weekend. If you | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
bought this place you would be close to the sea. It is right there. Argue | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
still convinced it is reallx want to take a punt? Not 100% convinced it | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
is a coin. It is worth the risk is worth for the pleasure I intend to | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
get out of it. The people of this area are made of strong stuff. The | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
vote to do battle with the North Sea. And you can see more on that | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
tonight at 7:30pm on BBC Ond. It's been an emotional day | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
at Greshams one They have been remembering | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
a cricket match played 100 xears ago just before the start of thd | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
First World War. The school's first eleven played | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
a team of old boys. Eleven of the young men who played | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
in the match were killed in the war. Lots of lovely places to pl`y and | :14:56. | :15:14. | |
watch cricket in this region, but this has got to be right up there. I | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
think you will agree. In thd distance the chapel built around the | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
time of the first war in a free round, the school buildings in the | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
distance, the old cricket p`vilion, and then the new cricket pavilion | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
which is only just been opened. Today, a game between Gresh`m 's and | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
the Norfolk selected 11, designed to commemorate and in some senses | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
celebrate the lives of the boys from this school went to war and never | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
came home. It was July 18, 0940 a cricket match between Gresh`m School | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
and the all boys. The school team posed for a photograph. What none of | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
them knew was that within three weeks, what would be declardd. By | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
the time war was over, five of the boys in this photograph would be | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
dead. I don't have the faintest idea of what was around the corndr. They | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
were focused on their own lhves I think, and the fact that thdir adult | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
lives were about to begin and all the things they hoped to do and | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
places the hoped to see. It would be a very happy day for all concerned. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
But this is absolutely a molent of history. By the schools old cricket | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
pavilion there were speeches today to remind everyone of their history. | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
Then, players and a sending off the last post. Seen here in the team | :16:39. | :16:48. | |
photograph of 1914, Julian Jefferson survived the first and Second World | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
War. Today, his sons redback Gresham 's to pay tribute, only too well | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
aware that their father was lucky. When so many of his friends were | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
not. You left school and john the regiment, if you are in a ptblic | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
school humour going to be an officer. Because you have some | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
no time at all. And as a yotng no time at all. And as a yotng | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
Second Lieutenant your chances of living were not great. In total | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
more than 100 old boys from Gresham 's lost their lives in the war to | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
end all wars. The school is sensitive to its past to getting the | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
most correct today was not dasy It was very poignant and moving but we | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
were very clear that he wanted this to be a commemoration of an | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
important event in the schools history, but one that appointed as | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
much to what hope as remembrance. We think we got the balance right | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
today. There was some good cricket today and some not quite so good. | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
But that was not important. The match was all about remembering | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
those who never came back. 100 years ago the old boys won the | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
match, except that the results does not matter but let's look at the | :18:07. | :18:14. | |
scoreboard. Batting first, 213 in 40 overs and the Norfolk 11. M`ke a 641 | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
and 24 overs. For cricket lovers, likely to be close. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
Well that's one way of markhng the centenary, here's anothdr. | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
This one is very different ht's been built on a huge scale | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
Hidden in this field, something few of us would feel to recognise. The | :18:28. | :18:42. | |
region 's flanks filing suit, a clue. Hi, helicopter hire, xou can | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
see. His face, that pointed finger, your country needs you. Kitchener 's | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
call to arms. Mat out in me`ns. Up here the scale is extraordinary it | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
felt a crusade, 1 million plans What Kitchener 's head is 100 metres | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
weight alone. The maze opens today by Lady Kitchener, his great, great | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
niece. Guest of honour with her husband, Julian Fellowes. I find it | :19:14. | :19:22. | |
very moving. They have made it and it is very clear that it is his | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
poster. Wallace told that hhs is the most famous poster of all thme. I do | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
not know if that is true but that is what one hears. There is a poppy on | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
the top right`hand corner which they have planted with red poppids. I am | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
a proud husband. Being in this sort of consort rolled to the catering | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
legend is something I am quhte used to the recorder city of it, but then | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
I release a special moments, and this is one of them. It is ` | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
marvellous way of remembering Emma 's uncle Herbert and all of those | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
men who died. The top right corner, the largest poppy in the world we | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
are told. The pedals, 60,400 poppies about to bloom. But by local | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
children learning about the war meant the air `` meant to end all | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
wars. It is for people who came into the water help England win. People | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
used to wear grey and black and brown clothes. Be used lots of | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
horses in the water. What Khtchener was born in Ireland in 1850 and | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
joined the Royal Engineers hn 1 71. He fought in the Sudan becoling a | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
national hero. He became Secretary of State for War in 1914, btt his | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
reputation waned after backhng the disastrous Dardanelles oper`tion in | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
1915. He drove the year aftdr of the Orkneys on board a ship sunk by a | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
German main. His face will live in ever, but how did they do this? The | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
40 points on the ground likd a satellite navigation, put that on | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
the ground. I clear the road to make the pass so they do not grow in the | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
rest of the ministers go. One of the most famous for images ever, in this | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
field to remember the many who sacrificed their lives in foreign | :21:25. | :21:25. | |
fields. And the anniversary of the start of | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
the First World War is earlx next And we'll have a series | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
of special reports during that week looking at the impact | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
of the war here in this reghon. There is that picture again. If you | :21:39. | :21:51. | |
are from the white, you can just Secret Service moustache and you can | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
see his face. The Commonwealth Games start | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
in 5 days time. One and a half billion people are | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
expected to watch around thd world. 4 of the 17 sports are not Olympic | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
sports. And in both of those we havd medal | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
contenders from this region. It means a lot to represent your | :22:03. | :22:23. | |
country. The Commonwealth G`mes is massive. This is the first | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
multisport events not in thd Olympics. Once every four ydars a | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
chance for us players to hopefully showing. The Commonwealth G`mes is | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
the Olympics. The big one. The one to win. Article 2014, the grandest | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
of platforms to promote the professional game to the world. We | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
are a great and growing sport. Disappointed we are not in the | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
Olympics but this far us is something where we can showcase what | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
the are about, how beautiful our sport is and how hard it is and also | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
how great it is to watch solething like this. It does not come around | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
very often. I had one experhence in Delhi and that was amazing `nd I | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
hope that will be the same. Squad's latest bid to become an Olylpic | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
sport was rejected in favour of wrestling. The third time hd had | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
applied and field, despite the revolution with radical changes to | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
scoring, courts and technology. While the sport has changed over the | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
years, their friendship has not Close on and off the court. I hate | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
playing and because I do not want to lose and I do not want to whn but he | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
is the only person I have that relationship with on tour. The rest | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
they don't care about! Others are looking to make a mark in classical, | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
too. The London venue is ond of the most dramatic as by the University, | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
the Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls Centre. The strongest lawn Bowls nations are | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
from the Commonwealth. Our sport is not in the Olympics to the | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
Commonwealth is as big as it gets in terms of it being a | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
multi`international sporting event. You only need to look at thd impact | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
of the London Olympics and Paralympics, it would be magnificent | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
for the sport but unfortunately we are not in that position at the | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
moment and therefore expect the Commonwealth Games even mord | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
important to build a legacy. All smiles when Ellen won the women s | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
pairs for musical alongside her best friend Amy Monkhouse. It is her | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
fourth games, she hopes to lake a significant impact again along with | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
her sport. And of course good luck to `ll of | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
the competitors at the Commonwealth Games. Good luck if you are out of | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
the weather as well! Our weather is unpredictabld at the | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
best of times, the next 48 hours will be a particular challenge. We | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
expect thundery downpours btt where we get them, that will be h`rd to | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
pin down. We have a lot of heat and humidity building, and tempdratures | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
recorded in a case in point. Ritual in Essex was a hotspot, it hit 2 | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
degrees so certainly the hottest day of the year so far. Just look at | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
former, 10 degrees lower th`n the rest of the region. Cooler on the | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
course. The current set`up, last night was case in point. Thhs is the | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
radar image during the thundery downpours we got into the e`rly | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
hours of this morning and in fact they were projected to go up the | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
central Spain of the countrx but they went much further east. That is | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
the volatility and unpredictable atmosphere we are dealing whth. We | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
ends today on a final note, a warm and humid evening saw lots of dry | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
weather to start the evening. But then we have these thunderstorms | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
moving up from fans and 24 will be difficult, but the could be some | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
difficult, thundery downpours and some really telling the downpours in | :25:57. | :25:58. | |
places that could cause problems through the night. By the d`wn | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
period it looks like this zone of instability is moving farthdr | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
northwards. There could be ` drier interlude by tomorrow morning. | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
Within the overnight temper`tures, the marquee night with thosd of 18 | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
or 19 degrees. This is tomorrow morning, the showers heading offered | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
in the sunshine coming up that will warm things up so many of us could | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
reach the high 20s the model is not 30 degrees, once more. Then we | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
develop some home`grown showers These are likely to develop across | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
the western half but they could go further east. It will be difficult | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
to predict the sporadic nattre of these showers. Again, some really | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
telling the downpours possible in some lightning strikes. That | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
limiting offers. For a dry `nd to the evening but then the ch`nce of | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
showers running of the eastdrn side of the evening so still no respite | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
overnight. It is looking unpredictable, expect anythhng this | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
weekend. You risk of thunder, some sunshine and fuelling warming | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
between but also some parts of the region may even stay dry. The Met | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
office has issued an amber warning, just because of the risk of | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
disruption caused by this hdavy rain. Here we have, for Sunday we | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
are not quite out of the woods across we still have that | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
instability. It will be cooler, with more sunshine around but thdre is | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
also the chance of some downpours in any of those could be heavy and | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
family. The news is high prdssure starts to build on from Scandinavia | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
at the start of next week s`w a more settled forecast, hats and hsolated | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
shower on Monday but by whether arrangements made spells of | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
sunshine. Do not forget what Dan said earlier, | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
if you can hear the thunder and lightning is near you. Goodbye. | :27:39. | :27:42. |
