The dangers of farming - deaths and injuries show it continues to be | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
one of the most hazardous occupations. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Good evening. We'll hear from a farmer who was seriously injured | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
and talk to the Health and Safety Executive. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Also tonight - big changes to the fishing industry, but there's | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
scepticism about plans to give fishermen greater control over what | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
they catch. And the bones which could prove | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Torquay was one of the first places in Europe where modern humans | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
settled. New figures released today show | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
farming remains one of the most dangerous professions in the | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
country. The Health and Safety Executive says between 2005-2010, | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
there were 34 farm-related deaths across the greater South West. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Around a quarter of Britain's workplace fatalities happen on | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
farms - even though farmers only make up 1.5% of the working | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
population. In a moment we'll hear from the Health and Safety | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Executive, but first this report from Janine Jansen. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
In the past 18 months, there have been at least two farm-related | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
deaths in the region. A 16-year-old boy died after a tractor he was | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
driving fell into a slurry pit near Padstow in Cornwall. In North Devon, | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
near Bridgerule, a 40-year-old man died after a heavy hay bale fell on | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
top of him. Between 2005-2010, There were 34 farm-related | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
fatalities reported to the HSE across the greater South West | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
region. There were 390 major injuries and 573 injuries requiring | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
three days off work. Brian Trewin farms near Launceston. He had a | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
:01:53. | :01:56. | ||
lucky escape when he was trampled by a cow. I was loading the couple | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
to take to market. I got it in the trailer and when to shut the gate | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
and it started, I wrote and push the Kate open and did pick me up | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
with its head and carried me out of the back of the trailer and threw | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
me against the gate which cut the top of my head open. As it went | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
through, it released me and put a horn through my Al boat and threw | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
:02:31. | :02:32. | ||
me on the ground and stepped on my stomach. The Health and Safety | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
Executive says that the rate of accidents remains high by other | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
areas have made big progress in recent years. Farming is by far the | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
worst sector for under-reporting serious injury. It took Brian a | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
year to recover from his accident. He says because animals can be so | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
unpredictable, he never works on the farm alone. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Rob Pearce from the Health and Safety Executive. I | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
asked him what farmers could do to reduce the number of accidents. | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
They need to think about who is on the farm. They have children on | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
farms, can people, the need to make sure those people are safe. The | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
good weight of doing that is to send your answers to college to | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
learn about agriculture, then we have a basis on which to build for | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
the future. Once they had done that, once they are thinking about their | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
farm, then they can do the job safely. Over at the last 10 years | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
accidents in comparable industries have come down but not in farming. | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
Why is that? Been comparable industries, there are big employers. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
A lot of farms in the south west are small employers, they do not | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
have the resources to get systems in place. That does not mean that | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
they don't know what the correct way of doing the job is and it | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
doesn't mean that they can't actually do the job safely. You can | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
have as many in pools and regulations as you want but farmers | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
are working and this huge pressures. How did get the message of safety | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
across? One of the major campaigns at the moment is asking farmers to | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
stop and think about what they are doing and to promise to their | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
families that they will come home safe. If you think nationally, with | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
the figures that we have got, it means that one person every week is | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
killed on a farm. Locally it means that every two months someone is | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
killed on a farm. I would like people could look around the group | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
they are sitting in, look at their loved ones, and realised that if | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
they do not do something than one of those people will not be here. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
The economic downturn has left thousands of older people in the | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
South West struggling to get by, and in fear of the coming winter, | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
according to economists and lobby groups. Many pensioners are being | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
squeezed by the rapidly rising cost of living and a fall in the value | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
of their investments, as Simon Hall reports from Exeter. | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
These experienced eyes expected to see a more comfortable retirement. | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
Ken and Cyndy Jenkins have begun spending their savings to get by. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
The bills keep growing, the income doesn't. And Mr Jenkins is now | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
considering a part time job - at 72 years of age. A don't think it is a | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
thing that should happen. It should never be allowed to happen way you | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
are literally counting your pennies. We have not had a holiday now for | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
four or five years, we simply cannot afford it. Very angry, | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
really. When you have worked and put something into the society, it | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
makes you feel very bitter. issue for many older people is | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
simple economics. Their costs have risen as inflation is high. Their | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
incomes have fallen. Returns on savings are scarce as interest | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
rates are low. Dividend payments suffer as the stock market | :06:06. | :06:14. | |
struggles. It is a particular problem in the south west because | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
the percentage of old people is higher than anywhere else, it is | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
22% in Devon and Cornwall and Denise Devon it is up to nearly 28%. | :06:24. | :06:33. | |
A particular worry for older people - winter looms large. Fuel bills | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
have been rising particularly fast. People are scared about being cut | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
off and not being out built to keep warm. In a statement, the | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
government said the government had taken a series of steps to protect | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
people. The state pension system had been reformed to encourage | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
saving and the automatic retirement age have been a polished to give | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
people more options. If Mr Jenkins does try to get a job, the state of | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
the economy won't help there either. A recent part time vacancy in | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
Exeter attracted almost 300 applicants. | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
Simon Hall reporting. As you heard there, the Government claims it's | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
taken steps to help older people. I asked Ross Altmann from Saga if she | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
agreed. I wouldn't agree. I think many of the measures the government | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
have adopted have damaged pensioners. The cut in the winter | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
fuel payment will be a tremendous problem for many pensioners. The | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
very low interest rates and high inflation is impacting pensioners | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
much more than other groups. What can be done? One thing the | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
government might consider is, for example, allowing pensioners to | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
earn whatever income they are getting on their pensions tax-free | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
and also I think it has been very cruel to cut the winter fuel | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
payments just at the time when it fuel prices have reached a record | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
high and we are just going into winter. It seems a very strange | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
thing to do. But we are all in this together, we all need fuel, we all | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
need heating, why should pensioners be protected? Pensioners spend a | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
lot more time at home and they spend a lot more of their income on | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
things like fuel and food and they are the things that have gone up | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
most in cost. It is a frightening situation and for anyone watching | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
this he may be in the Fifties, or can they do to protect the future? | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
I think people are going to need to think about working longer if they | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
do not have much savings and probably saving a lot more if they | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
can afford to do so, although not everybody can. Really, it is | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
praying that the economy will get better, thinking about being more | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
flexible and working part-time later in life if you want a better | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
income. The average cost of a home in the | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
South West is now 13 times the average salary, according to the | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
National Housing Federation. It's warning more young professionals as | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
well as middle income families are being priced out of the market. The | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
report says the average house in Cornwall now costs around �228,000. | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
In Devon, the South Hams is the most expensive area to live. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
A charity concert is to be staged in Truro Cathedral for people | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
affected by last year's floods in mid-Cornwall. It'll be the first | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
anniversary of the floods later this month. All the money raised | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
will go to help people whose homes and businesses were damaged. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Fishermen in the South West are tonight sceptical about a new pilot | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
scheme which will give them more control over how much they catch. | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
The Government wants to see whether communities with boats under ten | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
metres long would be able to manage their own quotas and do more to | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
market their catches. Simon Alexander reports. | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
The fishing industry in the region has been in and out of troubled | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
waters over the years, with fish quotas being one the biggest | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
flashpoints. Today the Government unveiled plans for a pilot scheme | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
to encourage fishing communities to take more control over how many | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
fish they catch and still keep stocks sustainable. Some in the | :10:09. | :10:18. | |
industry say it won't suit everybody. There is a need to have | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
a critical mass or fish so that you can engage in trading swaps and you | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
will lose that if you go into small, isolated groups. The Government | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
wants to hear from fishermen of small boats under 10 metres long | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
and their quotas will be based on what they've landed collectively | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
over recent years. We have come up with some ideas, one of which is to | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
allow local committees to hold quota on behalf of the local | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
fishing fleet, which means that local communities that identify | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
with their fishing fleet can be part of supporting that business. | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
There is a great opportunity for the fishing industries to start | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
managing the fish docks, both for the sustainability of the future of | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
the industry but also for the good of the marine environment. I would | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
like to see Cornwall taking up one of the opportunity to become one of | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
the pilots. Fishermen who don't wish to take part in the initiative | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
will continue to access quota through a central pool. Critics say | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
any changes need to be better thought through. I don't think they | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
will be widely embraced by the under 10 fishermen. There is a risk | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
of further dilution of the quotas and that they will be fewer | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
opportunities unless the carrot is offered. One of the pilot schemes | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
is expected to be run in the South West, although no decision has yet | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
been made. How well fishermen support the project has yet to be | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
established. We'll be live at Kents Cavern later | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
in the programme. Also still to come. They're surrounded by water, | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
:12:07. | :12:10. | ||
so why are the Channel Islands struggling with supplies? And | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
A woman from Cornwall with obsessive compulsive disorder says | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
there needs to be more support for people like her. The charity OCD | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
Action says there are currently not enough OCD treatment centres. | :12:30. | :12:40. | |
:12:40. | :12:43. | ||
Johnny Rutherford reports. When Joyce salto was pregnant with | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
her son she noted she developed obsessive compulsive disorder. 40 | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
years on and she still suffers from OCD, though importantly treatment | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
in recent years allows her to control its level. I became more | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
and more worried about, I don't even know whether it was germs, | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
dirt or what it was, but it was something I conceived of as | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
contamination. Whatever that contamination was, it was so | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
terrifying that it was stronger than your fear of death. Washing | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
hands repeatedly, cleaning constantly and not touching things | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
became the norm. She claims OCD has been passed down her family line. | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
was too ill to bring my son up. After the age of four he was | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
brought up by his father and his grandmother. And yet, at the same | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
age as me, at 22, he developed it to himself. I just feel there has | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
to be a hereditary link there. what happened to him? He struggled | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
with it for 15 years and I am afraid eventually it became too | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
much for him and he took his own life. He poisoned himself. Joyce | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
spent a lot of time writing on forums on the OCD Action website. | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
She believes the quality of therapy can be variable. In Cornwall, the | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
NHS say a number of treatments are available and there are presently | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
working on this individual support packages. OCD is increasingly | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
recognised and it is treatable. The sooner you get treatment, the | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
better the chance of recovery. Joyce says that with the right | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
treatment you can still have quality of life. | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
For for the last of his series on water supplies, David has been a | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
care worker will come from in the future., for the first time in five | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
years, the desalination plant on Jersey has started to produce fresh | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
water. Could this be a sign of things to come, and where will our | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
water come from in 50 or 100 years time? David has been trying to find | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
out. Population increases as well as | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
climate change could other Pink had packed. Could we have enough water | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
all for the water than we do have, could it be very important? Because | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
of the geography of south-west England, we get our fair share of | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
rain, most of which runs backache to see, but could we seller to base | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
he needed? If the predictions of climate change are right there are | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
going to be part of the world quite close to was that are going to be | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
in demand of more water than they do not have. Is their business to | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
export up water? It is very expensive moving water around. | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
Typically, a family of four uses a ton of water each day. When people | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
talk about a national water grid they tend to forget that things | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
like gas and electricity are much easier to move around them water. | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
It will be a long time before were able to export large amounts of | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
water out of the country. Climate change as well as population | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
increase and into a van effect on the demand for water. The climate | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
model shows that parts of the country will experience more severe | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
effects than others and in the south-west of England we are | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
expecting quite severe effects over the longer term. We build that into | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
one models both on the supply side and the demand side, because we | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
expect customers using more water excite in the garden and more for | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
personal washing and clothes washing. We also need to take into | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
account rising sea levels and they can impact on the ground water that | :16:50. | :17:00. | |
:17:00. | :17:01. | ||
we take. The estimation in 2007 bus just under 1.7 million. By 2035, | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
the estimate is 2 million. With climate change and the warm air | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
that we are likely to see, people could use for 0.3% or and household | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
could be 2.2% more. We rely on water companies to supply our fresh | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
water. We don't have much choice, or do we? Business is booming for | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
companies that drill for and supply water cisterns. We have seen an | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
increase mainly due to people wanting to get away from the | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
utilities companies. Leaky pipelines that a costly to improve. | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
And there rise in popularity of crane source heating. We climate | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
change we may get less rainfall when we needed the most and | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
expensive desalination plants may need to be used more often. Being | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
more efficient and clicking our own reporter made in the future be the | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
only option. Ironically, there is some heavy | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
rain in the forecast later! Research out today suggests some of | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
:18:20. | :18:21. | ||
the first modern humans lived in Torquay. We know all this thanks to | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
new carbon dating of a jawbone found in Kent's Cavern. John | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
Henderson is deep inside the caves and joins us now. | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
These press turret caves have been giving up their secrets for | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
hundreds of years -- prehistoric. The latest research to come from | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
here is all about the origins of us. Torbay. Fit for human habitation. | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
It's got beaches. It's got shops. It's got a football team. It's got | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
attractions galore. Hardly surprising then, that the first | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
modern humans in Europe lived in the Bay. | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
It is lovely, Torquay, a good area to live in. Is it good for Torbay? | :19:05. | :19:14. | |
It is but was on the map! How do we know? More advanced dating of this | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
jaw bone - found at Kents Cavern in 1927 - shows it's between 44,000 | :19:18. | :19:28. | |

and 41,000 years old. Experts found that it is actually much older than | :19:30. | :19:38. | |
I thought. Ball bait may have had a particularly nice environment. It | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
may have been rich in the game and the findings in the case showed | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
that there were a lot of large animals here and it would have been | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
kept Perhaps the very nice spot for people to gather in and hunt as it | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
is still today. The origins of humankind in Torbay had to contend | :20:00. | :20:10. | |
with a lot. Woolly mammoths, hyenas, woolly rhinos, giant deer, bears | :20:10. | :20:19. | |
and scimitar cats. Thankfully, some things have changed for the better. | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
Men! They are more sympathetic than their work and pinkly they don't be | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
too about the head any more! wait until you get home! | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
excited I do about this latest research? It is really excited. We | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
have always known this jawbone was important but now it brings out so | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
many more important facts about the people that lived here. I am | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
wearing a shirt and it is run as it league form down here. That is the | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
whole point of working down here. Yes, it will stay the same | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
temperature or years. Back in the Ice Age it was probably a little | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
chilly up but it was certain be nice and stale and it was a great | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
place to live. And you had animals outside. And Torquay was very | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
different, there was no see out there that we can see now. They | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
would have been a land bridge right across to continental Europe and | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
this is how these people came here. They were very nomadic in their | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
lifestyle, following the food source. They probably came back | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
here every year, to a place that is such a fantastic sight, elevated up | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
and able to command a great defensive position. It is quite | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
warm in here tonight but I am certainly not going to be staying | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
overnight. 14 degrees, that is warmer than my | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
house! A Victorian garden, which over looks Falmouth Bay, has been | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
re-opened to the public after a year-long restoration project. | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
Gyllngdune Gardens, on the town's seafront, features a rare shell | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
grotto thought to have been built over 150 years ago. David George | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
has been for a visit. Falmouth's Princess Pavillion and | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
Gyllyndune Gardens are now looking a little more like their grand | :22:16. | :22:24. | |
former selves. Here's the bandstand and Edwardian veranda. And this is | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
the rose garden and greenhouse. The old photographs are from the | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
collection of the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society. The | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
restoration project - included rebuilding these shell seats - cost | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
�2.4 million of Lottery and Cornwall Council money. The project | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
just avoided the councils' hard hitting cutbacks. The gardens were | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
originally laid out by the owner of the nearby Gyllngdune Manor, the | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
Reverend William-John Coope, in the 1850s. He turned the quarry which | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
supplied the stone for the house into a fern garden. The land was | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
bought by the council in 1903 so that a new coast road could be | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
built and public winter gardens created. They had the advantage of | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
the vicar's unusual quarry garden complete with a secret shell grotto. | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
We think they are follies that were put together in Victorian times. | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
Normally by the young ladies of the house and they used the shells that | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
were brought home on the tea clippers to Falmouth, to decorate | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
the sides of the cave. It was so overgrown and nobody Harby went | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
into it so it is fantastic to see it opened up. It is one of the main | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
reasons that we were able to get the award from the National Lottery | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
because they are of national importance. This is the Fernery, | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
just outside the shell grotto, photographed in the 1920s. Close by | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
is the refurbished tunnel which leads from the gardens to what was | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
then a private beach. Once here, the ladies of the house had the use | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
of this rather elaborate beach hut so that they could get changed in | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
private before descending to the beach below. Let us hope they had | :24:15. | :24:23. | |
better weather than today it! That Shell grotto was stunning! It | :24:23. | :24:33. | |
:24:33. | :24:34. | ||
must have taking ages to put that It is ironic that Jersey have | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
turned on the desalination plant and we have a whole lot of wet- | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
weather coming away. For the rest of the week we are expecting some | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
more persistent rain. And then some showers, persistent in the morning | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
and perhaps easing in the afternoon. A big lump of cloud now covering | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
most of United Kingdom. They Iraq two close there but it is one main | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
system stretching from Spain and caught -- Portugal up to England. | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
And mild by to come but also some wet weather coming in. -- a mild | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
night to come. By the time we get to the weekend we have a change in | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
the wind direction, with East League wins and setting in. -- | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
easterly. Where we have the brighter colours, that is the | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
heavier rain which will continue overnight. It will peter out | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
towards dawn but in the far west of Cornwall for a clutch of showers | :25:38. | :25:46. | |
will arrive and they look quite angry. Overnight temperatures are | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
unusually mild for a night in November. No lower than 13 or 14 | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
for most of us. Tomorrow morning, we have a yellow alert of the | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
potential for some heavy rain, mainly in the form of some hefty | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
showers in the morning. By the afternoon it becomes a lot drier | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
and brighter. Warmer tomorrow with 16 degrees the top temperature. | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
Less windy as well. All the Isles of Scilly some early rain will | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
:26:26. | :26:34. | ||
The north coast will have the cleanest surf but still on the trot | :26:34. | :26:44. | |
:26:44. | :26:52. | ||
beside. The South Coast very messy Some of the showers at risk of | :26:52. | :27:00. | |
having some thunder in then. We will see more showers on Friday. | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
Again there is the risk of one or two of those becoming quite heavy. | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
As we moved into the weekend, an area of low pressure news up the | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
eastern side of Britain giving us Eastbourne north easterly winds, | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
scoring in slightly colder air. By Sunday, 12 or 13 will be the | :27:22. | :27:30. |
