:04:54. > :04:58.I just did not expect to find what we found.

:04:59. > :05:02.And you do not think that people could leave anybody's

:05:30. > :05:35.Could be a little bit more cloud around through the morning,

:05:36. > :05:38.but otherwise much the same as today, plenty of sunshine,

:05:39. > :05:41.and the difference is that the winds will be slowly easing,

:05:42. > :05:44.so it will not feel quite as chilly as it has done on the coast.

:05:45. > :05:47.Inland, we could well see highs of 15, 16 Celsius,
