:00:03. > :00:11.Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson and
:00:11. > :00:14.Annabel Tiffin. Our top story... A book of condolence is opened for
:00:14. > :00:18.the victim of the Oldham explosion as more details emerge about the
:00:18. > :00:24.man arrested in connection with the blast. In the face of such a huge,
:00:24. > :00:27.huge sense of loss and pain, people want to do something.
:00:27. > :00:32.Police say they are pursuing several lines of inquiry. Also
:00:32. > :00:35.tonight... Battening down the hatches. Homes and businesses in
:00:35. > :00:39.South Cumbria are hit by floods after a day of heavy rain.
:00:39. > :00:46.The Isle of Man cyclist going for Olympic gold. And it is not Mark
:00:46. > :00:56.Cavendish. And he's cute, but maybe not cuddly.
:00:56. > :01:04.
:01:04. > :01:06.We will be telling you why he is It is just over 48 hours now since
:01:06. > :01:11.the devastating gas explosion, which flattened terraced houses in
:01:11. > :01:16.the Shaw area of Oldham. 6the investigation into what
:01:16. > :01:19.happened is gathering pace with every passing hour. Detectives said
:01:19. > :01:23.today that the arrest of a 32-year- old man on suspicion of
:01:23. > :01:26.manslaughter is only one of a number of lines of inquiry. A book
:01:26. > :01:30.of condolence has opened in the local church for two-year-old Jamie
:01:30. > :01:33.Heaton who died in the blast. People are leaving more and more
:01:33. > :01:38.tributes to Jamie Heaton, the two- year-old who died in Tuesday's
:01:38. > :01:42.explosion. Among those paying their respects today, a family friend,
:01:42. > :01:45.who spoke to Jamie's mum Michelle this morning. I do not think
:01:46. > :01:51.Michelle is in any sort of state to talk about anything. All she wants
:01:51. > :01:55.at the moment is her little boy. That is all that is on her mind.
:01:55. > :02:00.Indications from the police are that it could be weeks before of
:02:00. > :02:03.they know exactly why the explosion happened. But they have arrested a
:02:03. > :02:08.32-year-old man in London, because they believe he may have been to
:02:08. > :02:12.one of the properties in relation to the upkeep of a boiler. This
:02:12. > :02:17.afternoon, a 32-year-old man was arrested on the offence of
:02:17. > :02:21.manslaughter, is currently being transported to Manchester, and will
:02:21. > :02:27.be subjected to rigorous interview today. I would not like you to
:02:27. > :02:31.speculate in relation to that line of investigation, but would say it
:02:31. > :02:36.is one line of investigation. Police say the man is from Shaw,
:02:36. > :02:40.but not from Buckley Street. They will not say whether he has any
:02:40. > :02:46.connection to Andrew Partington, the man injured on Tuesday's
:02:46. > :02:50.explosion. Police still want to question Mr Partington when he
:02:50. > :02:57.regains consciousness. Earlier, a book of condolence was opened at
:02:57. > :03:02.the. People also lit candles. The bishops spoke of the importance of
:03:02. > :03:07.community togetherness. -- opened at the church. With huge sense of
:03:07. > :03:11.loss and pain, people want to do something and the opportunity to
:03:11. > :03:15.come in and light a candle and sign the boot of condolence, express
:03:15. > :03:21.support and care, that is hugely support -- that is hugely
:03:21. > :03:27.importance. -- book of condolence. People may be able to return home
:03:27. > :03:33.soon, company by Menges of the emergency services. -- accompanied
:03:33. > :03:38.by members of the emergency service. Those whose homes are stronger --
:03:38. > :03:40.are more destroyed will not be allowed home at all.
:03:40. > :03:43.Investigations into the gas explosion have meant continued
:03:43. > :03:46.disruption for people who live within the police cordon. Today,
:03:46. > :03:50.some residents of Shaw were allowed back to collect their belongings.
:03:50. > :03:53.But others are still being kept away.
:03:53. > :04:01.Nicola Cooney was at home with her daughter Holly when the house three
:04:02. > :04:07.doors away exploded. I moved away from the door, I do not know why,
:04:07. > :04:11.but then the door blew in, there was massive bang. The pictures and
:04:11. > :04:16.mirrors came off the walls. left without money or belongings.

:04:28. > :04:34.easy is it to find out what is going on? Quite difficult and
:04:34. > :04:40.frustrating. Today, three year-old Holly went to nursery. Has there
:04:40. > :04:45.been difficult to carry on as normal? Yes, just going up to the
:04:46. > :04:51.school and dragging her around different places. The school is now
:04:51. > :04:56.a refuge centre. Donations are piling up. They are thankful, but
:04:56. > :05:06.there is little else to go on. are looking to see which houses are
:05:06. > :05:12.safe. And you get back there? So she is staying with you? Yes.
:05:12. > :05:17.You have to allow for that? It is tragic circumstances, with that
:05:17. > :05:21.little boy, but you have to make the best of it. The community has
:05:21. > :05:25.pulled together. Some people returned to their homes this
:05:25. > :05:32.afternoon to keep their belongings. But she will have to wait until
:05:32. > :05:41.tomorrow. I just want to get back home and back to normal. It will be
:05:41. > :05:44.some time yet before she returns for good.
:05:44. > :05:47.Next tonight, torrential rain is causing flooding in parts of the
:05:47. > :05:54.South Lakes. A number of homes and businesses have been affected in
:05:54. > :05:58.Kendal. The West Coast Main Line is currently suspended. There have
:05:58. > :06:05.been landslides on the line. We will have an update in just a
:06:05. > :06:11.moment. First, we can go to our correspondent Colin Sykes.
:06:11. > :06:16.I am right in the centre of kindled by the river. Between 1 and two
:06:16. > :06:21.o'clock this afternoon, we had 33 millimetres of rain in just one
:06:21. > :06:27.hour. That is extraordinary by any standards. This river has been
:06:27. > :06:33.prone to flooding before. People send pictures of cars being stuck
:06:33. > :06:37.as water came down the high street. Some properties flooded, one shop
:06:37. > :06:43.flooded, the what are now going down, but still residual problems
:06:43. > :06:47.caused by flash flooding. -- the water has now gone down. There have
:06:47. > :06:55.been problems with cranes being stuck around Lancaster or -- run
:06:55. > :07:05.Lancashire and Carlisle. We had our reporter who sent this clip.
:07:05. > :07:06.
:07:06. > :07:15.It is absolute chaos. People going off, they have been told there have
:07:15. > :07:20.been problems going north and south. The main track has been blocked.
:07:20. > :07:28.You are from Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, a busy afternoon?
:07:28. > :07:34.Yes, across the county, about 60 calls. In this area alone, about 30
:07:34. > :07:38.calls. Many to affected flooded properties. We managed to send
:07:38. > :07:43.appliances and officers, particularly important friar
:07:43. > :07:53.control staff, giving advice over the telephone. -- fire control
:07:53. > :07:55.staff. It was important around Highgate. Thank you. And you are
:07:56. > :08:01.the Chief Executive of the local council. What can you do for
:08:01. > :08:05.people? We have had a number of people that obviously need
:08:05. > :08:10.somewhere to sleep, because their houses have been flooded. We are
:08:10. > :08:15.dealing with houses and social services, but also safety in terms
:08:15. > :08:19.of electrical appliances in businesses and homes, also food and
:08:19. > :08:24.how people can prepare themselves, mother of businesses can open
:08:24. > :08:28.tomorrow or not. -- whether businesses can open. Thank you.
:08:28. > :08:31.River levels have been going down, but the river is still swollen for
:08:31. > :08:38.this time of year. Back to the studio.
:08:38. > :08:46.Thank you. Let us get more on the situation in some of the worst
:08:46. > :08:52.Dianne is here. Because of how the showers have
:08:52. > :08:55.developed, it can be difficult to keep track. The Isle of Man,
:08:55. > :09:00.Merseyside and the Wirral was affected. The Cumbria have really
:09:00. > :09:06.been at the heaviest they are. -- the showers have really been at
:09:06. > :09:12.their heaviest in Cumbria. Almost 30 millimetres of rain in just one
:09:12. > :09:18.hour. From three o'clock, the showers moved up over the Pennines,
:09:18. > :09:24.heavy ones across Lancashire, but those are leaving, and the picture
:09:24. > :09:31.does get better after that, thanks Beauly -- thankfully.
:09:31. > :09:34.Thank you and we have a full A court has heard how the gunman
:09:34. > :09:40.who shot dead an Indian student in Salford messaged friends as he
:09:40. > :09:43.watched the crime scene from a hotel window just metres away. A
:09:43. > :09:47.witness also said how it Kiaran Stapleton watched the events on
:09:47. > :09:51.television. He admits shooting Anuj Bidve early on Boxing Day, but
:09:51. > :09:53.denies his murder. It was Kiaran Stapleton who pulled
:09:54. > :09:57.the trigger. It was Kiaran Stapleton who ended Anuj Bidve's
:09:57. > :10:05.life. The question for the jury... Was Kiaran Stapleton fully
:10:05. > :10:09.responsible for his actions? The day after, Stapleton checked in to
:10:09. > :10:14.a hotel just metres away from where Anuj Bidve had died. The court was
:10:14. > :10:20.shown to CCTV footage of Kiaran Stapleton looking outside from the
:10:20. > :10:25.hotel. At one point, he became distracted by the TV news reporting
:10:25. > :10:29.on a hunt for a gunman in Salford. The court heard a string of
:10:29. > :10:39.messages between Stapleton and his friend Ryan Holden. He was with him
:10:39. > :10:46.
:10:46. > :10:52.on the night and became Ryan Holden will later testify
:10:52. > :10:54.against his friend. The weapon has never been recovered. But today, a
:10:54. > :11:04.forensic expert said it was likely a semi-automatic handgun had been
:11:04. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:09.used. And that Anuj was shot at close range. The manager of the
:11:09. > :11:11.tattoo parlour, where Stapleton asked for a teardrop below his eye,
:11:12. > :11:15.told the court his behaviour had been excitable. When told a
:11:15. > :11:17.teardrop can represent a murder, he told the manager, does killing my
:11:17. > :11:19.goldfish count? You will be seeing me on Crimewatch. Kiaran Stapleton
:11:19. > :11:28.initially denied the shooting, saying, you are bringing everyone
:11:28. > :11:32.from the area, I have a job. He later confessed after being charged.
:11:32. > :11:39.At the time he pulled the trigger, experts are expected to say he was
:11:39. > :11:42.not fully responsible for his actions. The trial continues.
:11:42. > :11:46.Some of the day's other stories. People in the North West are most
:11:46. > :11:50.at risk of having their home repossessed. That is according to
:11:50. > :11:54.new research by housing charity Shelter. Knowsley is second in the
:11:54. > :11:56.survey and five of the top ten places at risk in the country are
:11:57. > :12:01.in this region. The charity says more people are struggling to meet
:12:01. > :12:07.mortgage repayments. We know that housing nowadays is so expensive
:12:07. > :12:11.that just a couple of lost hours, or perhaps the loss of a job, can
:12:11. > :12:14.tip a family into being at risk of being repossessed.
:12:14. > :12:17.The MP for Liverpool Riverside, Louise Ellman, is urging the
:12:17. > :12:23.Government to give more cash for the Northern Hub project. It is set
:12:23. > :12:25.to transform rail links across the North of England. The Chancellor
:12:25. > :12:29.has already pledged �130 million towards the scheme, providing
:12:29. > :12:32.better links between cities including Liverpool and Manchester
:12:32. > :12:36.Detectives investigating a fire at a pub in Liverpool say they want to
:12:36. > :12:39.speak to a second man in connection with the blaze. The fire at the
:12:39. > :12:43.Punch and Judy pub on Bolton Street started in the early hours of this
:12:43. > :12:46.morning. A 41-year-old man from Kirkby is being questioned on
:12:46. > :12:51.suspicion of arson. 6000 metres of overhead electricity
:12:51. > :12:58.lines have been stolen from the Ribble Valley in the past two
:12:58. > :13:04.months. Residents are being urged to be vigilant and report if their
:13:04. > :13:08.electricity goes off between midnight and 4am.
:13:08. > :13:11.Next tonight, the family of a Merseyside man who died as a result
:13:11. > :13:14.of injuries after a single punch to the head whilst trying to separate
:13:14. > :13:17.an argument say they want they want tougher sentences for this sort of
:13:17. > :13:22.crime. Joe McDermott died in January this year, just over three
:13:22. > :13:25.months after he was hit. His family are now campaigning for a review.
:13:25. > :13:29.A picture of the last family holiday with the nieces who adored
:13:29. > :13:34.him. Joe was 52 years old when he died as a result of injuries from
:13:34. > :13:38.one punch to the head. We go to bed at night now and it is on your mind.
:13:38. > :13:42.You think of Joe and toss and turn trying to get to sleep and cannot
:13:42. > :13:46.sleep. The man convicted of his manslaughter, 33-year-old Paul
:13:46. > :13:49.Richards from Litherland, was on court bail at the time for a
:13:49. > :13:53.separate offence. He was this week sentenced to four years, eight
:13:53. > :13:58.months, something which Joe's family say is not long enough.
:13:58. > :14:03.need 100,000 signatures to get a review of the sentencing tariff
:14:03. > :14:07.associated with manslaughter us. the moment, sentencing for one
:14:07. > :14:12.punch can only fall under manslaughter. The degree of
:14:12. > :14:18.culpability, there is the greatest for this type of offence than any
:14:18. > :14:23.other offence, so it is difficult if not impossible to categorise the
:14:23. > :14:27.offences to the extent where you could give definitive guidelines.
:14:27. > :14:31.The message from the police is that they want people to understand the
:14:31. > :14:35.damage that can be caused. I would just like to get this message out
:14:35. > :14:39.of the tragic consequences, devastating consequences, of what
:14:39. > :14:46.one punch can do. It can ruin people's lives overnight through
:14:46. > :14:50.one punch. Someone hits the flora and it is just too late. Joe fought
:14:50. > :14:55.for days before succumbing to his injuries. The hope for his family
:14:55. > :15:02.is his death will not be in vain. witness said they would not forget
:15:02. > :15:06.the sound of Joe's head hitting the floor. That is -- the sentences
:15:06. > :15:12.something we will never forget. I will never forget the sound of his
:15:12. > :15:15.head hitting the floor, remember that.
:15:15. > :15:22.60 years ago, five soldiers of the Manchester Regiment were ambushed
:15:22. > :15:24.and killed in Malaya. It was headline news at the time. But
:15:24. > :15:27.Cliff Holland from Lancashire, who survived the battle, believes the
:15:27. > :15:34.sacrifice of his comrades has been forgotten and now he's determined
:15:34. > :15:39.to put that right. Stuart Flinders has been to meet him.
:15:39. > :15:43.60 years ago, Malaya was part of the British Empire. Communist
:15:43. > :15:50.rebels launched guerrilla attacks. Those continued even after the
:15:50. > :15:56.British left. 13 young men from the Manchester Regiment were ambushed
:15:56. > :16:03.in 1952, five were killed, Cliff Holland survived. All hell was let
:16:03. > :16:08.loose. The vehicle I was driving was shot off at the back, the front,
:16:08. > :16:15.along the side, the machine gun fitted to the top packed up firing
:16:15. > :16:24.because that was hit. People were shouting, one man was shouting for
:16:24. > :16:30.his mother. All I can say is all my friends dead all over the floor.
:16:30. > :16:34.Cliff, who now lives near Blackpool, became a police officer in Salford
:16:34. > :16:39.and the rest of the country seemed to forget what happened in Malaya.
:16:39. > :16:43.Is perhaps discomfort from many attacks of this period, because he
:16:43. > :16:48.assumed the locals United against us. That is not the case with
:16:48. > :16:54.Malaya. We had a campaign of the Peking -- of defeating the
:16:54. > :16:58.Communists. The Communists could have created at Malaya that was
:16:58. > :17:05.under a communist dictatorship. Cliff is determined that those who
:17:05. > :17:08.died 60 years ago next month are not forgotten. Those of us from the
:17:08. > :17:16.Manchester Regiment still alive will not allow those people to be
:17:16. > :17:21.forgotten. Those men may have been killed in Malaya, the unerring
:17:21. > :17:28.cemeteries on the west coast of Malaya, been there for 60 years. --
:17:28. > :17:31.They are now in cemeteries. They will never be forgotten. Cliff is
:17:31. > :17:35.helping the Imperial War Museum in an effort to remember for court and
:17:35. > :17:41.wards. It might be 60 years ago, but you
:17:41. > :17:45.can tell the memories are still vivid. Yes, and still so important
:17:45. > :17:48.to keep that campaign going. Still to come on North West
:17:48. > :17:52.Tonight... Isle of Man cyclist, Peter Kennaugh,
:17:52. > :17:55.tells us about his Olympic dreams and his mate Mark Cavendish.
:17:55. > :18:05.And why the region's keen gardeners are these little hedgehogs' worst
:18:05. > :18:08.
:18:08. > :18:13.nightmare. A prickly little problem! I would not hold them,
:18:13. > :18:15.though. Yes. Sport now. Ryan Giggs, Craig
:18:16. > :18:23.Bellamy and Micah Richards have been picked for the British Olympic
:18:23. > :18:30.football squad. The BBC understands that they will be named as the
:18:30. > :18:33.three over-age players... Is that over 35? That is when the squad is
:18:33. > :18:35.announced next week. David Beckham, who was an ambassador for London's
:18:35. > :18:39.Olympic bid, has been told he will not be selected.
:18:39. > :18:42.That is a shame. Anyway, the Olympic dream appears to be over
:18:42. > :18:45.for Preston athlete Helen Clitheroe. Despite running a season's best
:18:45. > :18:49.today, the 38-year-old finished 16th in the 5000 metres final at
:18:49. > :18:53.the European Championships in Helsinki. Helen has been struggling
:18:53. > :18:58.with a foot injury. Now she believes she won't be selected for
:18:58. > :19:03.the British athletics squad. It is just really frustrating.
:19:03. > :19:07.I was in great shape before I had trouble with my foot. I am not the
:19:07. > :19:10.only athlete with injury problems. I have been lucky in my career with
:19:10. > :19:14.hardly any time out with injuries. I have been consistent going to
:19:14. > :19:17.championships. I cannot really complain too much.
:19:17. > :19:20.Wigan's 800 metre runner Jenny Meadows also suffered a huge blow
:19:20. > :19:25.to her Olympic hopes today. She pulled out of the Championships in
:19:25. > :19:30.Helsinki. After nine months out injured, the 31-year-old was hoping
:19:30. > :19:35.to compete this afternoon. But her torn Achilles reacted badly during
:19:35. > :19:37.the flight to Finland and she had to withdraw. The former World and
:19:37. > :19:46.European bronze medallist is desperately hoping the Team GB
:19:46. > :19:49.selectors will give had a discretionary place. -- give her.
:19:49. > :19:54.Definitely not heartbreak. I feel very, very positive. Jenny Meadows
:19:54. > :19:57.will have season this season. It did not start when I wanted it to.
:19:57. > :20:01.Whether I am selected for the Olympics or not, I am sure I will
:20:01. > :20:05.be competing this year. I just hope I am on that team and not just
:20:05. > :20:09.competing at diamond leagues and I am competing at London as well.
:20:09. > :20:14.The last time the Isle of Man won an Olympic gold medal was in 1912.
:20:14. > :20:17.But now, 100 years later, it is hoping to win not just one, but two.
:20:17. > :20:21.Mark Cavendish is part of the British team hotly tipped to win
:20:21. > :20:24.the road race event. And his fellow cyclist, Peter Kennaugh, is a key
:20:24. > :20:28.member of the British track team. They are confident that they, too,
:20:28. > :20:31.can take gold. The two men were childhood friends. Isle of Man
:20:31. > :20:39.reporter Kelly Foran has been talking to Peter about his medal
:20:39. > :20:44.hopes. Sea is the world champion! -- he is.
:20:44. > :20:50.So there is the Manx world champion you know all about.
:20:51. > :20:54.And here is one you may not have heard of yet. Peter Kennaugh
:20:54. > :21:00.recently set a new world record. The focus now is on becoming
:21:00. > :21:06.Olympic champion. Everyone would say going to the Olympics is a
:21:06. > :21:12.major achievement. But it would not really count unless we had one. --
:21:12. > :21:17.won. He has his share of bad luck, though. This was 2009. Here he was
:21:17. > :21:22.competing alongside Mark Cavendish. But they are more than team-mates.

:21:26. > :21:30.we lived on the island, we Biddle was trained together. I would train
:21:30. > :21:37.harder because he was so much better. -- we would always trained
:21:37. > :21:42.together. Lots of little things that made me, really inspired me,
:21:42. > :21:47.seeing that he could do it and made me want it even more. So what is it
:21:47. > :21:53.about the island that produces such strong riders? The roads are sore
:21:53. > :21:58.heart, that if you do not enjoy cycling, you will not enjoy it. --
:21:58. > :22:01.the roads are sold tough. It has a bit of everything. Pete comes from
:22:01. > :22:05.a cycling family as well as a cycling nation. His brother Tim has
:22:05. > :22:09.competed for Great Britain. Whenever I speak to people, or they
:22:09. > :22:17.speak to me about Peter, it is all was the Olympics that is mentioned.
:22:17. > :22:22.I do get nervous. It is such a sort -- it is such assured event,
:22:22. > :22:25.hopefully they will do well. -- such a short event. And after
:22:25. > :22:35.already winning one gold medal this year, Peter will be hoping to reach
:22:35. > :22:40.the top step of the podium again. You can tell there is only 29 days,
:22:40. > :22:43.two hours to go before the Olympics. Did you know that of the top of
:22:43. > :22:47.your head? His fellow Manxman, Mark Cavendish,
:22:47. > :22:51.is used to a starring role at the Tour de France. But this year he
:22:51. > :22:54.says it is all about helping one of his team-mates to win the famous
:22:54. > :22:57.yellow jersey. Bradley Wiggins, who lives in Chorley, is favourite to
:22:57. > :23:00.come out on top in the race which starts on Saturday. Although he has
:23:00. > :23:03.won 20 stages of the tour, Cavendish says helping his mate to
:23:04. > :23:06.become the first ever British rider to win the whole thing would be
:23:06. > :23:09.very special. To be part of that is quite an exciting prospect. Two-
:23:09. > :23:15.goal with a real opportunity of winning the yellow jersey and bring
:23:15. > :23:20.it for up a British team. -- to go there with a real opportunity.
:23:20. > :23:26.we have a full interview with him tomorrow. I went to see him on
:23:27. > :23:31.Tuesday. He has really interesting things to say.
:23:31. > :23:34.Now they are prickly, cute and pretty friendly. Hedgehogs! As the
:23:34. > :23:42.weather's not been good recently, they've been trying to keep warm in
:23:42. > :23:50.grass. But gardeners are injuring the small creatures when cutting
:23:50. > :23:55.their lawns. Some of them are getting emergency care.
:23:55. > :23:59.Meet Harry the hedgehog. At just five weeks old, he is an orphan.
:23:59. > :24:04.will have to go into an enclosed garden... Harry is one of many
:24:04. > :24:09.hedgehogs injured with strimmers and lawnmowers. During this weather,
:24:09. > :24:15.the wet weather, people have not cut their grass. What they are
:24:15. > :24:20.doing is going in with strimmers or lawnmowers without looking.
:24:20. > :24:22.Obviously, the hedgehogs are injured. Barbara at Withington
:24:22. > :24:26.Hedgehog Hospital Trust is nursing back to health 22 hedgehogs left
:24:26. > :24:34.injured by gardeners. 11 of them are amputees. Her youngest patient
:24:34. > :24:41.is only a few days old. This is just one of the eight babies that
:24:41. > :24:49.were brought here, because the mother was injured. She was not
:24:49. > :24:54.able to feed them, so they have been hand rear. -- reared.
:24:54. > :24:58.hedgehogs get warm incubators, care and plenty of food. They are eating
:24:58. > :25:01.dog and cat food, nuts, raisins, biscuits. But these cooked
:25:01. > :25:11.breakfasts will not last forever. When they are ready, these
:25:11. > :25:11.
:25:11. > :25:17.hedgehogs will be released back I was enjoying that. I worry for
:25:17. > :25:24.those who have been amputated. So just checked before cutting the
:25:24. > :25:28.grass. But will it be dry enough? I would not worry, scrambled eggs
:25:28. > :25:34.and biscuits? Good evening. You know what we had
:25:34. > :25:40.through today, belting showers, and we are still under a yellow warning.
:25:40. > :25:46.This is in place until 9pm. We are airing on the side of caution,
:25:46. > :25:53.because the worst has gone. We shall watch -- the showers caused
:25:53. > :26:00.havoc in places. Now they are causing havoc in the North East of
:26:00. > :26:07.England. The latest picture shows a much better position. Maybe some
:26:07. > :26:11.showers around the Pennines over the next an hour. The rest is dry.
:26:11. > :26:16.As the night progresses, the cloud rolls back in, some light and
:26:16. > :26:21.patchy rain trying to work its way in here and there, managing to get
:26:21. > :26:25.into the Isle of Man and parts of Cumbria. For most, not that much
:26:25. > :26:30.within it. Hardly even dampening the ground in southern parts. That
:26:30. > :26:34.will not help Cumbria, but it should not be significant
:26:34. > :26:39.thunderstorms or downpours. Temperatures through the night
:26:39. > :26:44.still in the mid- to high teens, so still mild, but nowhere near as
:26:44. > :26:51.humid. That humidity reduces and it feels cooler and fresher tomorrow.
:26:51. > :26:55.Starting tomorrow with cloud around. Patchy rain could turn up anywhere.
:26:55. > :27:00.But it is not downpours or thunderstorms, just drizzle for
:27:00. > :27:06.most. The cloud will thin and break with some spells of sunshine here
:27:06. > :27:14.and there. We got to 23 Celsius today. You will not see that
:27:14. > :27:20.tomorrow. 18-19 at the very best. Over the next few days, it remains
:27:20. > :27:24.a changeable. The weather was terrible for some,
