Romsey welcome to South Today. Tonight: The heat is on Surrey's

:00:06.:00:13.

firefighters ahead of tomorrow's national strike. They claim they're

:00:13.:00:18.

being bullied into working. Surrey's chief has taken a different

:00:18.:00:22.

attitude. He has been provocative and playing games. A flare up over

:00:22.:00:32.

plans for more than 100,000 solar panels. And top marks for this

:00:32.:00:44.

restoration of a school mural. And the pride of Hampshire, how massed

:00:44.:00:50.

military bands will put on the biggest remembrance festival outside

:00:50.:00:52.

of London. Councils and fire brigades across

:00:52.:01:05.

the South are bracing themselves for the first firefighters' strike in a

:01:05.:01:08.

decade. A four hour walk—out is planned at midday tomorrow over

:01:08.:01:11.

government plans for pension changes which will increase the

:01:11.:01:13.

firefighters' retirement age to 60. It's down to individual fire

:01:14.:01:16.

authorities to provide cover during the strike. In some places,

:01:16.:01:19.

part—time firefighters and even members of the public will be

:01:19.:01:26.

drafted in to help. But in Surrey, a private company will provide cover.

:01:26.:01:34.

Staff there won't be allowed back on shift at the end of the strike and

:01:34.:01:38.

will lose a full day's pay. Joe Campbell has been following the

:01:38.:01:45.

story — he's in Farnham tonight. Officially this is a dispute between

:01:45.:01:52.

the Fire Brigades Union and height what will. But if firefighters are

:01:52.:01:57.

locked out of stations, they say they can't carry out checks on

:01:57.:02:06.

equipment they would need if there was a serious emergency. We have

:02:06.:02:10.

been looking at the arrangements for a serious emergency. They look like

:02:10.:02:16.

Surrey firefighters. They're using Surrey's fire engines. But the team

:02:16.:02:20.

going through their paces today are in fact employees of a private

:02:20.:02:25.

company. We have the most up—to—date fire engines and cutting equipment

:02:26.:02:33.

and breathing apparatus. They're doing fully fire fighting, they can

:02:33.:02:37.

rescue people to the same stabbed ard. — standard. The role means

:02:37.:02:42.

tomorrow these are the crews who will be answering 999 calls, as

:02:42.:02:47.

remember firefighters go on strike over pensions changes. But what has

:02:47.:02:55.

hangered the —— angered the crews is the way anyone walking out for four

:02:55.:03:00.

hours won't get paid. All but one of other fire and rescue services has

:03:00.:03:07.

reached agreement and they're negotiating with our officials.

:03:07.:03:11.

Surrey's chief has taken a different attitude and he is being provocative

:03:11.:03:16.

and is still playing games. Crews walking off for a limited time was

:03:16.:03:23.

meant to make things difficult for the employers. The woman who heads

:03:23.:03:28.

the employers here makes no apologies. If you don't come to

:03:28.:03:33.

work, you don't get paid. If somebody gets to work and walks out

:03:33.:03:40.

for four hours. They don't get paid for the four hours or the day.

:03:40.:03:46.

Suspect that going to create animosity? It may do, but we have to

:03:46.:03:49.

take a decision to deal with it. It is clear that people have been

:03:49.:03:55.

advised if they take industrial action, they won't get paid for the

:03:55.:03:58.

day. The Fire Brigades Union says that attitude is raising the

:03:58.:04:03.

temperature of the dispute here in Surrey. And far from putting people

:04:03.:04:07.

off going on strike, they claim their members' resolve is

:04:07.:04:12.

stiffening. What impact it has had will only become clear tomorrow at

:04:12.:04:18.

noon when the strike gets under way. The situation is there is no doubt

:04:18.:04:27.

the crews we saw are better prepared to respond than the traditional

:04:27.:04:32.

response from people in Green Goddesses, but how many will be on

:04:32.:04:38.

call tomorrow is not clear. So how is cover going to be provided in the

:04:38.:04:42.

rest of the South? Steve Humphrey has been looking at the challenges

:04:42.:04:45.

the strike poses, and how each county is preparing to deal with

:04:45.:04:48.

them. Yes, Chief Fire officers across the region have been busy

:04:48.:04:51.

working out exactly how they'll cope. There'll be a huge reliance on

:04:51.:04:54.

retained part time fire—fighters, who are not union members. Some of

:04:54.:04:59.

our fire services have given BBC South Today estimates of how many

:04:59.:05:02.

front line appliances will be available. Hampshire expects to have

:05:02.:05:07.

around 38 fire tenders on call — normally there would be 76. They're

:05:07.:05:10.

aiming to respond to calls in 20 minutes — the normal target is eight

:05:10.:05:15.

minutes. Dorset Fire and Rescue expects to field 20 front line

:05:15.:05:21.

appliances out of 40. On the Isle of Wight just two fire appliances will

:05:21.:05:27.

be available out of a normal 12. Royal Berkshire won't be releasing

:05:27.:05:29.

figures until tomorrow — they'll also be relying on non—striking

:05:29.:05:34.

firefighters. Some them have so called "resilience contracts" to

:05:34.:05:40.

provide cover during disputes. And specially trained members of the

:05:40.:05:43.

public will make up at least one crew. Wiltshire hope to have over

:05:43.:05:47.

50% of their appliances available — that's around 12 in place of about

:05:47.:05:50.

24. West Sussex hope to have around 12 out of the normal complement of

:05:50.:05:56.

25. Now this is the first time fire authorities have been required to do

:05:56.:05:59.

full contingency planning for a strike. In disputes in 2002 and 2003

:05:59.:06:04.

there was a big military input — with the famous Green Goddess fire

:06:05.:06:07.

engines which have now been withdrawn from service. But I'm told

:06:07.:06:12.

there will be a strategic reserve of Navy, RAF and Army firefighters at

:06:12.:06:17.

19 locations around the UK. Agreements are in place with the

:06:17.:06:20.

Fire Brigades Union under which striking fire fighters would return

:06:20.:06:24.

to work if there was a major incident with lives at risk. A

:06:24.:06:34.

missing sailor from Dorset, whose yacht was found off the northern

:06:34.:06:38.

coast of France, may have fallen overboard, according to his sailing

:06:38.:06:40.

club. 62—year—old Jeff Cole from Weymouth is believed to have set

:06:40.:06:44.

sail from the town early on Saturday bound for Swanage, but never

:06:44.:06:47.

arrived. His yacht was found on Monday with no—one on board. Dorset

:06:47.:06:53.

Police are investigating. Campaigners fighting a proposal to

:06:53.:06:56.

build a solar farm near Mapperton in Dorset say it would wreck the

:06:56.:06:59.

landscape. The company Good Energy wants to put more than 120,000

:06:59.:07:03.

panels on 150 acres of land on the Charborough Estate, which is owned

:07:03.:07:06.

by the family of Dorset South MP Richard Drax. If approved it would

:07:06.:07:09.

generate enough power for 6,000 homes, but opponents say it's not

:07:09.:07:12.

the right place for development. Briony Leyland reports. It is hard

:07:12.:07:24.

to believe on a murky morning, but it is claimed this part of Dorset is

:07:24.:07:28.

one of the sunniest places in the country. That is one reason why Good

:07:28.:07:34.

Energy wants to replace crops with a solar farm. The flags show the

:07:35.:07:41.

proximate height of the panels. The project would generate electricity

:07:41.:07:46.

for surrounding villages and beyond. But not everyone welcomes the idea.

:07:46.:07:52.

I'm against it. I think it will be very ugly and it is an area of great

:07:52.:07:58.

landscape valued, it is designated as such by the council. It is also

:07:58.:08:05.

prime agricultural land on which a good can be grown. Good Energy say

:08:05.:08:11.

the farm could make an important contribution to renewable energy

:08:11.:08:15.

targets and be planted with wild flowers and sheep would graze there

:08:15.:08:21.

too. It is well away from people's houses. Somebody is not going to

:08:21.:08:25.

open the window and see the solar farm. It is well protected by trees

:08:25.:08:32.

and the terrain. We do feel it is a good site. Good Energy would lease

:08:32.:08:36.

the land from the Charborough estate owned by the family of Richard Drax,

:08:36.:08:43.

the MP. Today the estate said the opinion of the local community was

:08:43.:08:48.

sought prior to submitting the application. The site is well

:08:48.:08:51.

screened at the end of the project the land will return to the existing

:08:51.:08:58.

agricultural use. East Dorset council will consider the planning

:08:58.:09:02.

application next month. If it is approved, work will start swiftly

:09:02.:09:07.

with all the panels in place and electricity being general Raymented

:09:07.:09:12.

as early —— generated as early as April next year. Plans for what it's

:09:12.:09:24.

hoped will be the biggest Remembrance Festival outside London

:09:24.:09:26.

were announced today. All the Army bands in the South of England will

:09:26.:09:29.

converge on Southampton's Guildhall on November 8th. They'll join the

:09:29.:09:32.

city's Philharmonic Choir in a tribute to the Armed Forces and

:09:32.:09:36.

their families. It'll be compered by the Southampton Football legend

:09:36.:09:38.

Matthew Le Tissier. Like all those taking part will be giving his

:09:38.:09:42.

services free to raise money for the Royal British Legion. Ben Moore

:09:42.:09:48.

reports. The brass is back. The unmistakable strains of a marching

:09:48.:09:51.

military band marking the return of the festival of remembrance after

:09:51.:09:58.

seven years. We have got some big people that want to bring it back,

:09:58.:10:02.

so everybody is doing is for no fee and the Guildhall are giving us the

:10:02.:10:06.

venue and stuff to make it happen. So the fact that everybody has just

:10:06.:10:10.

come on board to make this come back is just brilliant. The Guildhall

:10:10.:10:19.

will now host the biggest remembrance vent outside of London.

:10:19.:10:21.

Complete with Albert Hall—style poppy drop and a 100—strong

:10:22.:10:26.

philharmonic choir. The band and bugles of The Rifles will be one of

:10:26.:10:30.

eight military bands performing from all over the UK and it will include

:10:30.:10:34.

the Parachute Regiment and the Royal Corps of Drums of the Yorkshire

:10:34.:10:48.

Regiment. There are a thousand tickets, the money raised will go to

:10:48.:10:51.

supporting armed forces' families in need. Organising such a big event

:10:51.:10:56.

demands military precision from top brass. I won't give too much away,

:10:56.:11:03.

but it is a huge event and we have a different programme of music, we are

:11:03.:11:06.

incorporating some Carl Jenkins from the Armed Man, which is a fantastic

:11:06.:11:10.

piece of music. Buy a ticket, come along and see something slightly

:11:10.:11:15.

different. The festival is on 8th November. The south will once again

:11:15.:11:24.

march together for remembrance. Tickets for that event are available

:11:24.:11:27.

from the Southampton Guildhall Box Office. And you can get in touch

:11:27.:11:34.

online at the address on screen. Cuadrilla, the company which has

:11:34.:11:37.

been carrying out exploratory drilling for oil in West Sussex,

:11:37.:11:40.

says it's been very encouraged by the results of the process. The

:11:40.:11:43.

drilling in Balcombe led to three months of anti—fracking protests

:11:43.:11:46.

which have cost Sussex Police millions of pounds. The company says

:11:46.:11:49.

its work there is done for now and is clearing the site. Drivers are

:11:49.:11:53.

being warned to take extra care on the New Forest's roads after a spate

:11:53.:11:56.

of accidents. Official figures show a sharp increase in the number of

:11:56.:12:00.

animal casualties in the forest compared with last year. The latest

:12:00.:12:03.

was on Sunday night when a pony died after a collision with a 4 x 4.

:12:04.:12:10.

Still to come in this evening's South Today: Can Sir Ben Ainslie

:12:10.:12:14.

help his team to an epic America's Cup comeback? The NHS Trust running

:12:14.:12:20.

the Royal Berkshire Hospital is considering a plan to sell its

:12:20.:12:24.

historic London Road building so it can be converted into one of the

:12:24.:12:27.

Government's free schools. The grade two star listed building, which

:12:27.:12:30.

features an imposing colonnade, was built in 1839 and currently houses

:12:30.:12:33.

wards for chemotherapy and dialysis. The Trust says the plan is just one

:12:33.:12:36.

option for the block which is expensive to repair and not suitable

:12:36.:12:45.

for clinical use. A Berkshire school is celebrating the restoration of

:12:45.:12:47.

three remarkable 1950s murals which in recent years have been hidden

:12:47.:12:51.

under layers of paint. Two were uncovered and restored last year,

:12:51.:12:54.

and now the third is also back to its full glory after being

:12:54.:12:57.

faithfully repainted. Sean Killick reports. It's the culmination of a

:12:57.:13:05.

decade's work, bringing back to life three murals installed when St

:13:05.:13:08.

Crispin's School was built 60 years ago. The murals were painted over in

:13:08.:13:14.

the 1970s and used for notice boards. In recent years two have

:13:14.:13:20.

been uncovered and restored, but the third lay under so many covers of

:13:20.:13:24.

emulsion it couldn't be recovered. So local artist Saskia Huning was

:13:24.:13:29.

asked to repaint it. Patches of of the 1950s work were uncovered to

:13:29.:13:33.

reveal the colours and an old photograph allowed Saskia to produce

:13:33.:13:36.

a faithful replica of the original by Fred Millett. I was, yes,

:13:36.:13:42.

slightly nerve—wracked by the fact that it had to sit with the other

:13:42.:13:46.

two paintings and it had to look Fred—like. It was my painting and it

:13:46.:13:52.

had to read as a painting as well as satisfying those other things. So

:13:52.:13:56.

quite tricky, but I enjoyed it. It was really nice to do. Among those

:13:56.:14:01.

at the official unveiling event was Fred Millett's widow, Judy, who

:14:01.:14:04.

never dreamed she would ever see these works once more. Absolutely

:14:04.:14:10.

joyful, because they have come alive again and they have been dead or

:14:10.:14:18.

covered over for 30 years. It is just a miracle. Do you think Fred

:14:18.:14:26.

would be impressed with the finished work? He would, yes. The artwork is

:14:26.:14:29.

considered of historic significance in what is a grade two listed

:14:29.:14:33.

building, a landmark of the post—war school building programme. This is

:14:33.:14:39.

such an incredibly important school and people don't realise it looking

:14:39.:14:42.

at the building outside, but it was the prototype development school for

:14:42.:14:45.

the Ministry of Education and the murals were designed in by the

:14:45.:14:51.

architects. So they're not an afterthought. They are a actually

:14:51.:14:59.

part of the design of the school. St Crispin's is currently celebrating

:14:59.:15:02.

its Diamond Jubilee and now also the restoration of one of the jewels in

:15:02.:15:16.

its crown. Incredible stuff. Now the sport. It has been an exciting time

:15:16.:15:27.

over the sailing. 1983 is regarded a as the most exciting Americas Cup.

:15:27.:15:33.

Some time sips that? Yes, this year it is being called one of the

:15:34.:15:45.

greatest sporting come backs in history Sir Ben Ainslie and the Team

:15:45.:15:49.

USA crew won again in the America's Cup last night to make it five in a

:15:49.:15:53.

row. To win the Cup one of the two teams — the other being challenger

:15:54.:15:57.

New Zealand — has to reach nine points with a point for each race

:15:57.:16:01.

won. The Americans started with a two point deficit and New Zealand

:16:01.:16:04.

dominated at the start, but it's quite a different picture now. . The

:16:04.:16:08.

first race of the Americas Cup goes to the Emirates team... It looks

:16:08.:16:11.

like Team New Zealand have the 34th Americas Cup in the bag. Team New

:16:11.:16:15.

Zealand is your winner. By race 11, they had reached match point with an

:16:15.:16:23.

8—1 margin. But then came an incredible come back and at the

:16:23.:16:26.

heart of it Ben Ainsley, the most successful Olympic swimmer who was

:16:26.:16:29.

moved from the training crew into the role of tactician, following a

:16:29.:16:33.

costly American slip up in race five. Driving one of these boats is

:16:33.:16:36.

probably one of the most intense experiences I've ever had. So I got

:16:36.:16:44.

chucked in at the deep end with very little practice and sort of was

:16:44.:16:47.

expected to get the boat round the course. It took a lot of focus. I've

:16:47.:16:51.

never concentrated so hard in my life. The magic didn't happen

:16:51.:16:54.

straightaway, Oracle lost the next two races. But since then they have

:16:54.:16:57.

been unstoppable, closing down that 8—1 gap to 8—6, only the fourth

:16:57.:17:00.

Americas Cup team to win five successive races. Last night's race,

:17:01.:17:05.

the 16th was flawless. The defenders led from the start, their boat first

:17:05.:17:08.

over the line by a sizeable 33 seconds. We have really got a huge

:17:08.:17:16.

wave of momentum. The guys have been working hard. Last the short team

:17:16.:17:20.

there until the early hours and the boat's going fantastic. If they can

:17:20.:17:26.

continue their form, it will set up a thrilling finish. Race 17, yet

:17:26.:17:29.

another chance for New Zealand to clinch it, takes place tonight. The

:17:29.:17:41.

Poole Pirates have it all to do if they're to reach Speedway's Elite

:17:41.:17:44.

League play—off final. The Swindon Robins had the upper hand at the

:17:44.:17:48.

Abbey Stadium in the first leg of their semi—final last night,

:17:48.:17:51.

cruising to a ten point lead after six heats. Hans Andersen scored 11

:17:51.:17:55.

from five rides. For the Pirates, Darcy Ward was the stand out rider

:17:55.:17:59.

making 15, but it wasn't enough to overturn the deficit — the meeting

:17:59.:18:03.

ending 52—42. The second leg is at Wimborne Road next Monday. And good

:18:03.:18:12.

luck to Isle of Wight speedway, who face Dudley tonight in the National

:18:12.:18:15.

League play—offs. Portsmouth boxer Ebonie Jones is through to the

:18:15.:18:18.

second round at the Women's Junior World Championships in Bulgaria.

:18:18.:18:21.

Ebonie — who's 15 and trains at the Heart of Portsmouth Boxing Academy —

:18:21.:18:25.

won in three straight rounds in her fight against Ukranian Karyna

:18:25.:18:27.

Voronina. Ebonie is the current European 50 kilogram champion after

:18:27.:18:31.

she won gold over the summer in her first ever international competition

:18:31.:18:38.

in Hungary. Southampton are in League Cup action tonight. On the

:18:38.:18:43.

face of it an easy tie — they're at home to League One strugglers

:18:43.:18:46.

Bristol City. Saints manager Mauricio Pochettino likely to put

:18:46.:18:49.

out a very different team to the one that beat Liverpool at the weekend.

:18:49.:18:53.

Adam Blackmore is at St Mary's this evening, Adam. Yes, you're right,

:18:53.:18:59.

because Mauricio Pochettino has changed all eleven starters from

:18:59.:19:04.

that team that won 1—0 at Liverpool. And yes, they will still be expected

:19:04.:19:09.

to go through. Of course less than two years ago these two sides were

:19:09.:19:14.

competing against each other in the Championship. Now 68 places in the

:19:14.:19:17.

league separate them and City are still looking for a league win.

:19:17.:19:22.

Saints will know that the Robins have disposed of Crystal Palace.

:19:22.:19:30.

That should guard them against complacency. Now, just a reminder

:19:30.:19:32.

we're still after your nominations for the BBC South Sports Unsung Hero

:19:32.:19:36.

— someone or a pair who've made a difference to sport in your

:19:37.:19:40.

community. The winner goes into the running for the national award at

:19:40.:19:43.

the BBC Sports Personality of the Year show in December. For more

:19:43.:19:47.

details go online to bbc.co.uk/unsunghero where you can

:19:47.:19:50.

download a nomination form. If you don't have internet access there is

:19:50.:19:53.

a phone number you can ring to have one posted. It's 0845 308 8000.

:19:53.:19:57.

Calls cost five pence per minute from a landline, but from mobiles

:19:57.:19:58.

could cost considerably more. We have had a couple of national

:19:58.:20:18.

winners in the past. Thank you, Joe. Now onto the final film in our

:20:18.:20:21.

series celebrating great gardens in the region, and tonight we visit the

:20:22.:20:25.

Sir Harold Hilliers gardens at Ampfield near Romsey. The gardens

:20:25.:20:28.

were created by Sir Harold Hillier in 1953, so this year marks their

:20:28.:20:32.

sixtieth anniversary. And in that time, one of the most diverse plant

:20:32.:20:35.

collections in the country has been brought together there, as Andy

:20:35.:20:38.

McIndoe, Radio Solent's gardening expert has been discovering. The Sir

:20:38.:20:55.

Harold Hillier garden is renowned for its collection of trees and

shrubs. This was originally the private collection of the late Sir

:21:00.:21:05.

Harold Hillier, who established it here on 100 acres of land not far

:21:05.:21:14.

from Winchester. In 1964, Sir Harold planted a boarder to celebrate the

:21:14.:21:18.

establishment of his grandfather's original nursery in Winchester. In

:21:18.:21:27.

2010, work started to extend and widen the existing border. And join

:21:27.:21:32.

it more with the surrounding landscape. 30,000 plants went into

:21:32.:21:38.

this border. Which is now 250 metres long, making it the longest double

:21:38.:21:43.

border in the UK. It is about the same length as London's Tower

:21:43.:21:53.

Bridge. The planting in the new border features perennials, grasses

:21:53.:22:01.

and summer flowering shrubs. And everything is planted in big drifts.

:22:01.:22:06.

Great colour combinations and the bees and the insects and butterflies

:22:06.:22:12.

find it so attractive. Today, the borders are buzzing with life. This

:22:12.:22:25.

magnificent mountain Gun, a native of Australia, is one of champion

:22:26.:22:30.

trees in the garden. A champion tree is the tallest specimen of the

:22:30.:22:36.

species in any garden in the UK and these garden have nearly 400. That

:22:36.:22:43.

is remarkable for a Fahden —— garden that is only 60 years old. ConFeres

:22:43.:22:53.

play an important role and the Dawn red wood. Yes #i9d is a plant that

:22:53.:22:58.

was discovered in China. It was known as a fossil find. It was one

:22:58.:23:03.

where it was believed with the dinosaurs, or historic times, that

:23:03.:23:09.

plant died out and suddenly it was found in China. During the war. And

:23:09.:23:17.

then it was brought out of China by an American. In 1983, Sir Harold

:23:17.:23:24.

Hillier became one of only two people ever to be knighted for

:23:24.:23:30.

services to horticulture. In 1977, Harold gave this guard on the

:23:30.:23:35.

Hampshire County Council to manage as a charitable trust. His ambition

:23:35.:23:40.

was to create the best collection of plants and present them as

:23:40.:23:45.

attractively as possible. And do you know what? I think he succeeded.

:23:45.:23:58.

from 12 o'clock. Now if you're a bit squeamish about spiders you might

:24:09.:24:13.

want to look away for a few moments. Because a car fanatic from Grazeley

:24:13.:24:17.

near Reading had a bit of a shock when he picked up a 60's American

:24:17.:24:21.

car, only to find it was full of large black ones. The spiders,

:24:21.:24:24.

thought to be the infamous black widow species, hitched a ride from

:24:24.:24:27.

California where the car was originally imported from. The

:24:27.:24:30.

relevant local authorities have been informed and we're told they pose no

:24:30.:24:41.

threat to the public. Does that reassure you? I don't mind spiders,

:24:41.:24:48.

but black widows, no. They're not you're average spider. But not the

:24:48.:24:55.

hard core. We have had loads of spiders' webs with if due and the

:24:55.:25:01.

moist air. So some pretty photographs sent in Pete Blunden

:25:01.:25:09.

took this photo of the vapour trails in the sky over Teddy the horse in

:25:09.:25:12.

Bishops Waltham. Arthur Dibble captured the Season of mists and

:25:12.:25:15.

mellow fruitfulness in Thatcham this morning. And a piglet was enjoying

:25:15.:25:19.

the sunshine on Emery Down in the New Forest. This photo was sent in

:25:19.:25:23.

by Marc Baldwin. . So we have had some lovely photographs. Tonight,

:25:23.:25:28.

like last night, some misand fog patches and they will reduce

:25:28.:25:33.

visibility on the roads tonight and first 13 tomorrow. Under clearing

:25:33.:25:40.

skies we will have mist and fog forming in the usual prone areas.

:25:40.:25:46.

Temperatures down to 13 Celsius. So a mild mild night to come. The mist

:25:46.:25:54.

will clear and we will see some sunshine. Not as much as today, but

:25:54.:25:58.

warm in the sun with a high of 20 Celsius. So temperatures are still

:25:59.:26:02.

above their seasonal average. But as we head to the weekend, they will

:26:02.:26:07.

creep down to norm. Tomorrow night a similar scenario, a lot of cloud,

:26:07.:26:13.

mist and fog. Maybe one or two showers drifting in from the

:26:13.:26:17.

channel. Most places will stay dry with temperatures down to 13

:26:17.:26:21.

Celsius. Yet another mild night to come. The change comes about as we

:26:21.:26:25.

head through the week and it is because of this low pressure

:26:25.:26:30.

bringing weather fronts and some showers. Thursday should stay dry.

:26:30.:26:34.

There is the risk of a shower, but most places will be dry, maybe with

:26:34.:26:41.

some mist and fog. But an improving picture. There are some events

:26:41.:26:53.

taking place this weekend. The first one we have for you is the

:26:53.:26:56.

Michaelmas Fair in Alverstoke, Gosport. On this Saturday the 28th

:26:56.:26:59.

September. There is Music, food, crafts and family fun from noon

:26:59.:27:03.

until 4pm. The other event is the Barnes Green Half Marathon which is

:27:03.:27:06.

on this Sunday, the runners start at 11am. The weather for both events

:27:06.:27:09.

will be a little unsettled. So yes, it is turning unsettled through the

:27:10.:27:13.

week, tomorrow will see some mist and fog. And for the rest of the

:27:13.:27:16.

week we will see mist and fog first thing. So cloudy each morning. But

:27:16.:27:22.

that could will break and allow some brightness. The winds will be light,

:27:22.:27:26.

but they're increasing towards Saturday. And that signals a change,

:27:26.:27:32.

maybe with some thunder storms by the weekend. Thank you, make the

:27:32.:27:37.

most of it while you can. That is it for tonight. We are back tomorrow.

:27:37.:27:43.

Good evening.
