:01:48. > :01:53.don't really understand what it is like four hours. I mean, we are

:05:00. > :05:03.difference this evening. Once the sun sets, the temperature drops away
:05:04. > :05:07.fairly quickly. Lengthy cle`r spells mean we could get into single

:05:31. > :05:35.warm. As we had through to next week, it stays predominantlx settled
:05:36. > :05:40.and dried. Chilly nights, however, with temperatures in most p`rts
:05:41. > :05:42.dropping into single figures. Perhaps slightly milder overnight
