:23:23. > :23:27.cuckoos. ? It is lovely to hear them, it makes you think spring is
:23:28. > :23:34.awakening. Hopefully will start to see them and hear them. Cookies are
:23:35. > :23:45.mostly in Africa because the weather is -- cuckoo are mostly in Africa.
:23:46. > :23:49.They make and eight that looks like the egg of another bird, they lay
:23:50. > :23:55.the aid in that nest and let the other bird foster parent their
:23:56. > :24:02.child. -- chick. We could not find Selbourne, but Keith says that the
:24:03. > :24:06.word has weather hasn't helped. Over the next few weeks I will be looking
:24:07. > :24:12.for Selbourne because I want to find out where he has been. I'm sure he
:24:13. > :24:19.is hiding there. Selbourne may be already back in Blighty but you can
:24:20. > :24:23.check the six other cuckoo 's on-air website. The lecture is here, so
:24:24. > :24:24.let's take a look at that weather. Easter weekend of course so loads
:24:25. > :24:36.going on. It's not a wash-out by any means.
:24:37. > :24:42.This picture was at Wilton, in Wiltshire yesterday. It's day mainly
:24:43. > :24:48.dry overnight. As it will be tonight. Maybe the odd spot of
:24:49. > :24:51.drizzle here and there. With the clear skies, temperatures will drop
:24:52. > :24:58.to around five Celsius. Where we have the clout we are looking at
:24:59. > :25:02.loads from 7-8 C. The best of the brightness for the south coast
:25:03. > :25:06.tomorrow. Sunshine may develop in other places, but there is the
:25:07. > :25:10.chance of some patchy rain. That is more likely to tomorrow afternoon
:25:11. > :25:14.and evening. Heavy for a time tomorrow evening and overnight.
:25:15. > :25:19.Temperatures in the sun tomorrow will reach a high of 14 Celsius, it
:25:20. > :25:24.will be quite breezy the breeze coming in from the south and west.
:25:25. > :25:30.Showers could be heavy for a time in the early hours of Saturday morning
:25:31. > :25:31.but, but for most it will be drier on Saturday and cabbages will be a
:25:32. > :25:37.bit milder, loads of 7-8 C. So bit milder, loads of 7-8 C. So
:25:38. > :25:43.Saturday is one of the better days of the bank holiday. The cold front
:25:44. > :25:49.moves away and clear size will start to develop through the afternoon it
:25:50. > :25:54.will be cool with the breeze. The breeze coming from a so fresh air
:25:55. > :25:59.through the of Saturday. The risk of the odd shower the further east you
:26:00. > :26:04.are. The weekend as a whole looks rather cool. Some cool air on
:26:05. > :26:09.Saturday, sunny spells at times, more likely to Saturday and Sunday
:26:10. > :26:14.and a little bit of rain as well. So the outlook, for the rest of the
:26:15. > :26:18.weekend, Good Friday, quite cloudy in general, sunny intervals here and
:26:19. > :26:22.there, rain expected later on. Saturday a lot of sunshine but a
:26:23. > :26:26.little bit of uncertainty on Sunday as to a weather front over the
:26:27. > :26:29.midline. It makes that its way South, but we will hope it stays in
:26:30. > :26:35.the Midlands and the will stay dry with mainly sunny conditions. That
:26:36. > :26:39.all from us, there is a new summary at eight and we will be back at
:26:40. > :26:41.10:30pm as well. Thank you for your company have a lovely evening, good
:26:42. > :26:42.night.
