:24:06. > :24:12.to put something down streal on the belt so that we can have thd ability
:24:13. > :24:17.to hold the water back. We learn from every flood and every flood is
:24:18. > :24:21.slightly different. We revidwed the computer models, review the
:24:22. > :24:26.predictions. We can also look at the previous schemes we were looking to
:24:27. > :24:30.progress and some of those could well go forward in the future. Over
:24:31. > :24:34.the following weeks and months of the events of Christmas will be
:24:35. > :24:43.dissected to try to make thhngs better next time.
:24:44. > :24:44.Anybody living in those are`s will be deeply concerned about the
:24:45. > :24:58.weather. We know there is more heavy `` more heavy rain on the w`y over
:24:59. > :25:03.the weekend. Yes, Saturday looks to be staying
:25:04. > :25:09.fairly dry, one or two blustery showers, but it is Sunday wd are
:25:10. > :25:13.really concerned about. We dxpect about 20 millimetres of rainfall and
:25:14. > :25:19.gale force winds along the south coast. Earlier there was rahn for
:25:20. > :25:24.the South West but must've ht `` much of it heated out so actually
:25:25. > :25:29.just lots of cloud cover today. Temperature is still pretty cool,
:25:30. > :25:35.highs of seven or eight degrees The win is actually fairly light, ten to
:25:36. > :25:41.15 mph, but it will not stax settled as we go into tonight. This band of
:25:42. > :25:43.rain, not particularly heavx, but persistent tonight, spreading
:25:44. > :25:50.eastwards. The writ `` the wind is picking up again as well. As we go
:25:51. > :25:55.through tonight, all of us seeing some rainfall at one point or
:25:56. > :25:58.another and a cloudy, grey start to Saturday. Temperatures hardly
:25:59. > :26:04.changing from their daytime values, lows of five or six. Cloudy but mild
:26:05. > :26:09.as we start the day on Saturday but shaping up to be witty decent. Some
:26:10. > :26:17.sunshine in the afternoon. `` pretty decent. For the most part wd should
:26:18. > :26:23.stay dry. Temperatures stayhng in single figures, highs of seven or
:26:24. > :26:27.eight, but along the coast just about holding up in double figures.
:26:28. > :26:31.Some blustery and cool showdrs for the first part of Saturday dvening,
:26:32. > :26:36.possibly some hail with that. Actually quite a cold night as we go
:26:37. > :26:43.into Sunday, Tebbit is down to two or three. You might see a touch of
:26:44. > :26:51.Frost in more rural spots. `` temperatures down to two or three.
:26:52. > :26:57.We expect ten to 20 millimetres of rain on Sunday and that comds hand
:26:58. > :27:02.in hand with gale force winds. All of us seeing a very wet and windy
:27:03. > :27:09.pictures, highs of eight or nine degrees. As we go into the new week
:27:10. > :27:17.we expect a bit of a cold snap, temperatures around four or five for
:27:18. > :27:21.many of us. It is going to be staying breezy and unsettled as we
:27:22. > :27:24.head through the week. Over the weekend, Saturday at least looks
:27:25. > :27:27.mostly settled, some sunshine during the afternoon, but turning very wet
:27:28. > :27:45.and windy into Sunday. Sleet on Monday. Cold and wdt, what
:27:46. > :27:47.a combination. I will see you next week. Goodbye.
