medical help in Devon is delayed. Good evening. Welcome to Spotlight.

:00:15.:00:18.

The service which replaces NHS Direct was meant to be up and

:00:18.:00:22.

running across the South West in April. But a pause to learn lessons

:00:22.:00:27.

from problems with the launch in other areas has been welcomed.

:00:27.:00:32.

Hello. Also tonight. Remember the year of landslips and cliff falls?

:00:32.:00:35.

One woman died when her house collapsed after torrential rain.

:00:35.:00:38.

We've been back to one town in Cornwall still recovering from the

:00:38.:00:42.

impact of 2012's weather on the South West. And the day the war

:00:42.:00:49.

crash landed on the beach remembered forever. The launch of the new

:00:49.:00:53.

non-emergency helpline NHS 111 has been postponed in Devon, to avoid

:00:53.:00:56.

the chaos experienced elsewhere. In some areas, thousands of calls have

:00:56.:00:58.

been left unanswered, and inappropriate referrals have put a

:00:58.:01:01.

huge strain on ambulances and hospitals. Now 111 won't go live in

:01:01.:01:03.

Devon until September. Our Health Correspondent Sally Mountjoy has

:01:03.:01:13.
:01:13.:01:19.

more. This is the call centre for the nature tes one2one service in

:01:19.:01:23.

Somerset. The phoneline has been operating here and Dorset since

:01:23.:01:29.

earlier this year, but unexpected high demand created problems. Over

:01:29.:01:32.

the Easter weekend one in eight callers in Somerset and one in three

:01:32.:01:38.

in Dorset couldn't get through, or abandoned their call. But now things

:01:38.:01:42.

have improve. Devon was due to launch the service this month, but

:01:42.:01:45.

has today announced a delay until September. We found that elsewhere

:01:45.:01:51.

in the country there were problems with people being sent to the wrong

:01:52.:01:56.

place and perhaps the advice given wasn't appropriate and we're trying

:01:56.:02:01.

to learn from those mistakes and make sure it does not happen in

:02:01.:02:08.

Devon. For emergencies, 999 is still the number to cull -call, but the

:02:08.:02:14.

111 line points people to the right service. But in some parts of the

:02:14.:02:20.

country, the start of 111 led to a big increase in hospital visits and

:02:20.:02:24.

ambulance call-outs. In the South West the long cold winter has put

:02:24.:02:27.

these service under strain and there has been concern in Devon and

:02:28.:02:32.

Cornwall that 111 would add to the pressure. Cornwall has postponed the

:02:33.:02:37.

launch and still hasn't announced a new date. The South West ambulance

:02:37.:02:42.

trust is already running 111 in Dorset and will run the service in

:02:42.:02:47.

Devon. The ambulance you yob said the -- union said the area will

:02:47.:02:51.

benefit from the experience elsewhere. We have learned a great

:02:51.:02:55.

deal from the problems. To ensure that the same does not happen in

:02:55.:02:59.

Devon. We provide the service in Dorset and we have a good record

:02:59.:03:02.

there and the experiences we have achieved there will be passed

:03:02.:03:08.

through into Devon. Family doctors have been concerned about the roll

:03:08.:03:18.
:03:18.:03:20.

ot of one2one, claiming -- 111 saying that they welcome the

:03:20.:03:27.

decision to delay the launch. The help looiven will be rolled ---line

:03:27.:03:32.

will be rolled out in stages from September. It is hoped the service

:03:32.:03:41.

will have a trouble-free lunch. -- launch Work has begun today to

:03:41.:03:45.

stabilise a road hit by a landslip at Looe in Cornwall. In December 200

:03:45.:03:48.

homes were cut off when the fall closed the busy Hannafore Road in

:03:48.:03:52.

West Looe. It was the first of two landslips in the town last winter.

:03:52.:03:55.

In March, 68-year-old Susan Norman died when her house by St Martin's

:03:55.:03:57.

Road in East Looe collapsed after torrential rain. Alison Johns

:03:57.:04:00.

reports Just two weeks ago - before half term - the Government was

:04:00.:04:04.

warning of the dangers of taking a disposable barbeque inside a tent in

:04:04.:04:14.
:04:14.:04:16.

cliff face. You look out and you are looking for cracks, because we had

:04:16.:04:19.

some wild weather and you have never been sure when they were going to

:04:19.:04:24.

come back. But of course the tragedy of St Martins, we didn't want to be

:04:24.:04:33.

under a pile of bricks either. Norman died after her block of flats

:04:33.:04:38.

collapsed. The road has been closed since, although the main A-road has

:04:38.:04:42.

re-opened. Businesses in Looe have formed a new group to get the

:04:42.:04:45.

message across that the town is still open. We have all suffered

:04:45.:04:51.

over the last few months. We have had terrible problems with land

:04:51.:04:56.

slips and road closures, the perception has gone out there that

:04:56.:05:00.

the road has been closed for business. This has never been the

:05:00.:05:06.

case, but we really are trying to get the message that Looe is very

:05:06.:05:12.

much open for business and a great place to come to. Cornwall Council

:05:12.:05:17.

says the bad weather led to so many land slips it's having to prioritise

:05:17.:05:21.

its work. We have experienced significant damage. We had heavy

:05:21.:05:26.

rain fall in November, again in December, and again recently in

:05:26.:05:32.

March and that has given us a sort of bill in the order of �of to �7

:05:32.:05:36.

million. It is a significant amount of work. We will get it all done.

:05:36.:05:41.

Just along the coast at another town, business had been affected

:05:41.:05:47.

sips part of car rk -- since part of car park has been fenced off since

:05:47.:05:51.

cracks appeared. In the great scheme of thing, we have lost maybe a third

:05:51.:05:57.

of the car park. But there was a poor woman in Looe died, so it puts

:05:57.:06:01.

things in perspective. We will carry on trading It does have an effect,

:06:01.:06:05.

but that is how it goes. The message from Cornwall Council is the work

:06:05.:06:09.

will all be done, but they are having to prioritise it. The message

:06:09.:06:19.
:06:19.:06:20.

from businesses both in Looe and here is we are open. Just before

:06:20.:06:28.

half term, the Government warned of the dangers of taking a disposable

:06:28.:06:34.

barbecue inside a tent, because of the danger of carbon dioxide. But

:06:34.:06:37.

lifeguards in Devon are now urging people to be aware of another risk

:06:37.:06:40.

after a four-year-old was badly burnt by sand which had become

:06:40.:06:42.

extremely hot although she was quickly treated. From Exmouth beach,

:06:42.:06:45.

Leigh Rundle reports. Well this is the type of thing we are talking

:06:45.:06:48.

about- a standard disposable barbecue. In the summer, they're

:06:48.:06:50.

extremely popular, largely because they're so light and easy to

:06:50.:06:53.

transport. But they can also be very dangerous if they're not disposed of

:06:53.:06:59.

properly. Surprisingly the injuries to the child's hand and feet weren't

:06:59.:07:02.

caused by the barbecue itself, but by burning hot sand under where the

:07:02.:07:08.

tray had been placed while cooking. The victim and her family had

:07:08.:07:11.

settled themselves on an area of beach near the town's lifeboat

:07:11.:07:14.

station when the accident happened. First on the scene were volunteer

:07:14.:07:22.

lifeguards from the local beach rescue club. Unfortunately the sand

:07:22.:07:24.

below these barbecues gets extremely hot and the little girl stumbled

:07:24.:07:28.

across the sand the hash cue had been on and put her hand down as

:07:28.:07:34.

well. So she ended up with burns to her feet and her hand. These types

:07:34.:07:36.

of disposable barbecue do contain warnings, but mostly relating to

:07:36.:07:40.

carbon dioxide poisoning. Other safety issues can easily be

:07:40.:07:45.

overlooked. I think they're more dangerous after the barbecue,

:07:46.:07:48.

because while you're doing it, everybody's watching children,

:07:48.:07:51.

whereas when you have finished, I think that is when they're most

:07:51.:07:54.

dangerous really. Michele is also on holiday with her grandchildren, how

:07:54.:08:00.

clued up is she when it comes to post barbecue safety. I think sand

:08:00.:08:03.

would cool it down, because there is no oxygen, so it's going to cool

:08:03.:08:06.

down quickly. But you wouldn't actually do it where you're sitting,

:08:06.:08:09.

you would do your barbecue a little further away from where you're

:08:09.:08:15.

sitting with the children. If people do use a disposable barbecue, one is

:08:15.:08:18.

they let it cool down, keeping children and pets away from that

:08:18.:08:27.

area. Then disrupt that sand area, maybe a dig a hole and spread the

:08:27.:08:32.

sand around so it dispenses with that heat. And disposal of the box

:08:32.:08:39.

itself next to the rubbish bin and not in them. Work has started today

:08:39.:08:42.

on a multi-million pound scheme to protect people living near three

:08:42.:08:47.

Dartmoor reservoirs from the threat of large scale flooding. The work is

:08:47.:08:49.

taking place at the Kennick, Tottiford and Trenchford reservoirs,

:08:49.:08:54.

near Bovey Tracey. It'll involve the enlargement of overspill drainage

:08:54.:08:57.

channels which are designed to safely release water during flood

:08:57.:09:00.

conditions. Members of the GMB union have been discussing the

:09:00.:09:02.

controversial process of blacklisting at their national

:09:02.:09:08.

congress in Plymouth today. The GMB said many workers had their job

:09:08.:09:10.

prospects destroyed by being placed on the blacklist, often for raising

:09:10.:09:15.

questions about health and safety issues on building sites. One worker

:09:15.:09:18.

whose name was on the blacklist was given a standing ovation after

:09:18.:09:22.

revealing he hasn't worked for a major building firm for more than 20

:09:22.:09:29.

years. Finance nationally it made -- financially it made life difficult

:09:29.:09:37.

and it makes you wary and you wonder how long will yo you be on a job.

:09:37.:09:42.

You're worried your past will come back to haunt you. 34 people died on

:09:42.:09:44.

Devon's roads last year, according to provisional figures released by

:09:45.:09:47.

the County Council. Eight of them were motorcycle riders. Although

:09:47.:09:51.

bikers make up only 1% of traffic, they account for around a quarter of

:09:51.:09:53.

deaths on Devon's roads. Now the county council is urging bikers to

:09:53.:09:57.

take extra care, and have produced an online guide to help people ride

:09:57.:10:07.
:10:07.:10:08.

more safely. A giant new nature reserve has just opened to the

:10:08.:10:11.

public in North Devon. What was once a large china clay quarry has become

:10:11.:10:14.

an attraction for locals and visitors which it's hoped will

:10:14.:10:16.

benefit the economy and wildlife. Our Environment Correspondent Adrian

:10:16.:10:19.

Campbell has been to take a look. Meeth Quarry Nature Reserve is large

:10:19.:10:22.

by anybody's standards and it's just opened its gates to the public for

:10:22.:10:28.

the first game. Pond-dipping was one of the attractions at this massive

:10:28.:10:35.

new nature reserve being run by the Devon Wildlife Trust. Look at the

:10:35.:10:41.

size of him- he will even eat your newt. How about that? John Lloyd

:10:41.:10:45.

worked here for 22 years and he said he is pleased with the way the

:10:45.:10:49.

wildlife Trust has taken over. is the culmination, the clay's

:10:49.:10:51.

worked out and now we have a magnificent wildlife environment for

:10:51.:10:57.

everybody to enjoy. The Devon Wildlife Trust was keen to

:10:57.:11:00.

incorporate the old buildings which date from the time when this was a

:11:00.:11:04.

China clay quarry and they're also keen to tie in with the Tarka Trail,

:11:04.:11:07.

which is great news for cyclists. And there are new attractions for

:11:07.:11:14.

walkers as well. The deer here is one of the sculptures in the areas,

:11:14.:11:18.

aspect of interest, that we put around the site. The reason we

:11:18.:11:21.

developed Meeth for public access is we want more people to engage with

:11:21.:11:27.

wildlife, value it, take steps to protect it. You can look through the

:11:27.:11:30.

woodland, you can see the deer, the dragonflies and hopefully it will

:11:30.:11:34.

lure you in to have a look and and enjoy the site. Hundreds of people

:11:34.:11:40.

have already visited, including Phyllis and Ann. I'm sure it it will

:11:40.:11:43.

look lovely in a few years time. It looks, what I have seen so far,

:11:43.:11:49.

looks to be great. I'm a member of the Wildlife Trust and that is how I

:11:49.:11:57.

got to hear about the open day and I'm thrilled about it. This is a

:11:57.:12:00.

very big addition to the Devon Wildlife Trust's network of reserves

:12:00.:12:10.
:12:10.:12:12.

and already it is proving very popular. Thanks for joining us this

:12:12.:12:16.

evening. Still ahead tonight: The South West yachtsmen taking on the

:12:16.:12:20.

rest of the world in Europe. And the little overseas visitor giving staff

:12:20.:12:30.
:12:30.:12:31.

at an organic fruit and veg company a big surprise. The challenges of

:12:31.:12:33.

treating dangerously ill patients are being put to the test at The

:12:33.:12:36.

Royal Cornwall Hospital. Staff have been taking part in a pilot project,

:12:36.:12:39.

which sees them treating simulated patients in wards and emergency

:12:39.:12:41.

rooms. As Spotlight's Philippa Mina reports, the realistic scenarios

:12:41.:12:50.

provide valuable lessons in how to improve care. This is Charlie and

:12:50.:12:55.

he's come into intensive care with serious problems. He has come into

:12:55.:12:58.

hospital with meningitis and now is developing some septicaemia and it

:12:58.:13:07.

actually going to get quite ill during this scenario. Charlie is a

:13:07.:13:09.

SimBaby and can be programmed to mimic all manner of medical

:13:09.:13:12.

problems. By taking mannequins around and around hospital wards,

:13:12.:13:14.

and intensive care units, staff are given realistic experience of both

:13:14.:13:23.

the clinical and emotional challenges they may face.

:13:23.:13:26.

mannequins are so realistic and they react the way you expect them to

:13:26.:13:30.

react and they breathe and they have a heart rate and everything else

:13:30.:13:33.

that you'd expect in a real patient. You find yourself thinking this is a

:13:33.:13:39.

real child who is sick. Last year we have seen a couple of

:13:39.:13:42.

meningococcals, so it does actually help to run it through in a safe,

:13:42.:13:44.

controlled environment, where if things highlight that things have

:13:44.:13:52.

not gone as smoothy, we can look at where we can improve as a team.

:13:52.:13:56.

were able to drop into a ward area, deliver a session with the staff

:13:56.:13:59.

working on that ward that day, run a debriefing session and then get out

:13:59.:14:02.

of that ward area again. This is really unique. There are very few

:14:02.:14:06.

areas in the country that are able to do that. Today, the team

:14:06.:14:08.

responded swiftly and stabilised Charlie, gaining valuable skills

:14:08.:14:18.
:14:18.:14:18.

that in reality could mean the difference between life and death. A

:14:18.:14:21.

campaign to tackle the rise in overweight children has been

:14:21.:14:26.

launched in mid Devon today. Nearly one in ten of the four to

:14:26.:14:29.

five-year-olds in the Culm Valley were classed as obese when they

:14:29.:14:31.

started primary school - that's higher than Devon's average.

:14:31.:14:38.

Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby has the story. Tucking into a healthy snack.

:14:38.:14:41.

This is day one of a month-long campaign on the importance of a

:14:41.:14:45.

balanced diet and exercise. A recent survey found that 9% of the four to

:14:45.:14:51.

five-year-olds starting school here in the Culm Valley are obese.

:14:51.:14:54.

don't think it's anything generally about this area in particular, it

:14:54.:14:57.

just so happens that the statistics seem a little bit higher. But I

:14:57.:15:00.

don't think we can put it down to any single factor around incomes or

:15:00.:15:08.

poverty necessarily. The parents here seemed fairly clued up, but

:15:08.:15:12.

said they are noticing more and more overweight children in the area.

:15:12.:15:17.

Unfortunately there are. The bottom line is it's convenience sometimes

:15:17.:15:22.

not to eat healthily. You get home and if you're a busy mum, what shall

:15:22.:15:25.

we do for tea, there's something in the freezer, we'll just pop that in

:15:25.:15:28.

the oven, it is easy and it's convenient. This hopefully will

:15:28.:15:31.

bring awareness to people if they keep going the way they're going,

:15:31.:15:34.

our country's just going to be a country of a lot of overweight

:15:34.:15:40.

people. Really scary. I do know some children, yes, and it is difficult,

:15:40.:15:43.

because you don't think you say as another parent perhaps, unless they

:15:43.:15:53.
:15:53.:15:53.

ask you for advice, but I do think it is becoming a problem definitely.

:15:53.:15:56.

Today's all about trying out something new. No, not all healthy

:15:56.:16:03.

food is to everyone's taste. But the hope is this campaign will help to

:16:03.:16:08.

create a healthier society for the future. What we need to do here is

:16:08.:16:13.

make a difference for the teenagers and adults for the future. If we

:16:13.:16:17.

want to do that we have to change people's habits when they're little

:16:17.:16:20.

and we need mums and dads to cook the right things for their kids-

:16:20.:16:25.

more fruit and veg, less stodge. We need to start now. The eat healthy

:16:25.:16:28.

campaign it being backed by some local food shops who are offering a

:16:28.:16:36.

discount to encourage a healthier diet. Despite suffering from

:16:36.:16:38.

multiple sclerosis, a Devon triathlete has become British

:16:38.:16:43.

champion and has qualified for next years World Championships in London.

:16:43.:16:46.

37-year-old Trish Deykin from Milton Combe won gold in her age group at

:16:46.:16:49.

Holme Pierre Point in Nottingham over the weekend after recording

:16:49.:16:51.

excellent times in swimming, cycling and running. Next week,Trish will

:16:51.:17:00.

wear the Great Britain vest in the European Championships in Turkey.

:17:00.:17:03.

Now the French word Solitaire means lonesome and while two yachtsman

:17:03.:17:06.

from the South West competing in the Solitaire du Figaro race will no

:17:06.:17:10.

doubt be feeling every bit on their own now the solo race has begin -

:17:10.:17:13.

they are in the company of some of the world's best sailors. They set

:17:13.:17:16.

off from Bordeaux yesterday as one of the highlights of the French

:17:16.:17:22.

racing calendar got underway. Andy Breare reports. Conditions were

:17:22.:17:28.

perfect at yesterday's start as 41 skippers started the 2,000 mile La

:17:28.:17:32.

Solitaire du Figaro. For Sam, this is a big race and part of his

:17:32.:17:37.

campaign towards competing in the next around the world race. At

:17:37.:17:41.

yesterday's start, he lined up alongside a world class fleet,

:17:41.:17:50.

including the only person to win the title twice. Looking forward to

:17:50.:17:55.

getting into it. We have been here a week and now it's time to get opt

:17:55.:18:05.
:18:05.:18:07.

road and get -- on the road and get going. The tough test part will be

:18:07.:18:11.

the sleeping. And it is going to be a bit of everything and sleeping

:18:11.:18:19.

with the spin Kerr up is not easy. The La Solitaire du Figaro is a race

:18:19.:18:29.
:18:29.:18:30.

around the French and Spanish coast. For a year this has been my goal to

:18:30.:18:34.

be here and to improve my particle from last year and -- performance

:18:34.:18:39.

from last year. The first leg should take just a few days, with the whole

:18:39.:18:49.
:18:49.:18:51.

race being contested over the next three weeks. And to give you an

:18:51.:18:59.

updat Sam is now in 14th with Henry three places behind in 17th. Some of

:18:59.:19:03.

stories of human endeavour from the Second World War are well known -

:19:03.:19:06.

others less so. But the efforts of the crew on board one stricken plane

:19:06.:19:09.

and the villagers who came to its rescue will now be remembered

:19:09.:19:14.

forever. Locals came out onto a Cornish beach close to where the

:19:14.:19:18.

aircraft came down. It'd not only taken on an entire squadron of

:19:18.:19:22.

German fighters and won but managed to limp 300 miles home. A memorial

:19:22.:19:28.

stone now stands close by. Graham Smith reports. The flying Sunderland

:19:28.:19:31.

played a pivotal role in the Second World War. Despite lacking the speed

:19:31.:19:34.

or manoeuvrability of aircraft like the Spitfire and Hurricane, its

:19:34.:19:36.

anti-submarine missions were crucial. On 2nd June 1943, the two

:19:36.:19:39.

Australian and British RAF crew of 461 squadron were attacked by eight

German fighters over the Bay of Biscay. The Sunderland shot down

:19:44.:19:52.

three of the German aircraft, the others fled. But during the

:19:52.:19:58.

45-minute engagement, the Sunderland had been shot to pieces. Most of the

:19:58.:20:02.

crew were injured, flight engineer Ted Miles had been killed. Yet,

:20:02.:20:05.

despite being on fire, one of his engines gone and his aircraft full

:20:05.:20:08.

of holes from machine gun and cannon, pilot Colin Walker managed

:20:08.:20:17.

to fly 300 miles before being forced to ditch near Helston. It is like

reading something out of Boy's Own. They made it this far and they

:20:20.:20:25.

thought they were going to land on water. While they were on board they

:20:25.:20:29.

had to use every bit of kit that had if they landed on water to give them

:20:29.:20:35.

enough time to get off. If this battle had involved an American

:20:35.:20:37.

aircraft, then Hollywood would surely have embraced its dramatic

:20:37.:20:39.

narrative, yet with typical understatement, and despite

:20:39.:20:42.

garlanding the surviving crew with medals, the British and Australian

:20:42.:20:45.

authorities at the time seemed to have viewed it as all in a day's

:20:45.:20:50.

work. It is a reminder to all of us when we put on our uniform and we go

:20:50.:20:54.

into work we are just doing the job that we were trained to do and that

:20:54.:21:03.

is all these men did. Many of those attending yesterday's memorial had

:21:03.:21:07.

travelled from Australia to remember their relatives. I guess they were

:21:07.:21:15.

all so modest and didn't want to talk about the war. But it was the

:21:15.:21:20.

whole crew they acted as one and they were just a wonderful team.

:21:20.:21:23.

role of villagers who helped pull the crew from the wreckage was also

:21:23.:21:31.

remembered. The pilot first of all landed and then he beached so it

:21:31.:21:34.

that gave him time to get down, but they actually came down before they

:21:34.:21:42.

got out of the water. They offered them tea. All sorts of things. One

:21:42.:21:49.

lady was going around asking if they wanted a glass of whisky.

:21:49.:21:52.

memorial service had taken 18 months to organise and people travelled the

:21:52.:21:55.

world to be there. They heard a story of ordinary men who had done

:21:55.:22:05.
:22:05.:22:07.

something quite extraordinary. Workers at a company which produces

:22:07.:22:11.

organic fruit and veg boxes in Devon got a shock recently when a lizard

:22:11.:22:16.

popped out from a crate of bananas. The small reptile is thought to have

:22:16.:22:19.

travelled with the fruit all the way from the Caribbean. John Danks has

:22:19.:22:24.

the story. It was just another day on the packing line here at

:22:24.:22:29.

Riverford near Buckfastleigh. Into the veg box went the lettuce,

:22:29.:22:35.

spinach, bananas and nearly something else. A lady was reaching

:22:35.:22:39.

for the bananas, she was unloading a box and she was pretty much at the

:22:39.:22:42.

bottom when something ran over her fingers. That something was a small

:22:42.:22:45.

green lizard, it had stowed away with fruit that had been transported

:22:45.:22:47.

almost 5,000 miles from the Dominican Republic, surviving not

:22:47.:22:54.

only the cold, but the harvesting process too. The big bunches of

:22:54.:22:57.

bananas come in from the farms themselves and they go into big

:22:57.:23:02.

baths of water, where they get washed. So any insects that might be

:23:02.:23:05.

there, being an organic farm, we do encourage wildlife, so there might

:23:05.:23:08.

be insects so that is what the lizard was eating. They get all

:23:08.:23:12.

washed off, but I think he must have been tucked right into a bunch of

:23:12.:23:16.

bananas somewhere, because he hung on in there and made it all the way

:23:16.:23:19.

here. The next stop was Paignton Zoo where keepers were able to identify

:23:19.:23:24.

it and where the lizard will be kept in quarantine for six months.

:23:25.:23:28.

from the family iguana, so it's one of maybe two or three hundred

:23:28.:23:31.

species, but we have narrowed it down to Dominican Republic, so we

:23:31.:23:40.

will do a bit of research and find out exactly what species it is.

:23:40.:23:44.

out of the banana box and into the zoo - keepers say this long distance

:23:44.:23:47.

lizard will most likely ends up being homed in one of their tropical

:23:47.:23:57.
:23:57.:23:58.

houses. I hope he makes himself at home. Do you think he came for the

:23:58.:24:05.

hot weather? We may have drawn him in. Yes there is more fine weather

:24:05.:24:09.

in. Yes there is more fine weather on the way. Temperatures on rise, we

:24:09.:24:14.

have had 20 degrees today, we could get 22 tomorrow and there is not a

:24:14.:24:19.

great deal of change for the rest of the week. It is dry, fine and warm

:24:19.:24:23.

with plenty of sunshine. Compared to the last couple of years when June

:24:23.:24:28.

has been particularly wet, we are doing very well. This line of cloud

:24:28.:24:35.

here is not getting any closer. Some dreadful weather over Europe, this

:24:35.:24:39.

cloud has been generating some wet weather. But we have high pressure

:24:39.:24:45.

and it sticks around this week. It may move around, gradually moving

:24:45.:24:48.

away during the night and at first tomorrow morning, but comes back for

:24:48.:24:52.

the middle of the week. We keep high pressure and a lot of dry weather

:24:52.:24:57.

and yes, we will see more sunshine. Sunshine has been out for most of us

:24:57.:25:01.

today. There has been some cloud during the afternoon. That is now

:25:01.:25:07.

melting away. This is earlier today in Cornwall, where it it was a

:25:07.:25:14.

beautiful day and surprisingly not many people on the beach. A lovely

:25:14.:25:19.

day, plenty of blue skies. The same in Plymouth. We have had more of a

:25:19.:25:29.

breeze along the south coast. But strong sunshine Scottishes please --

:25:29.:25:33.

so please take it easy, because the sunshine is strong. Tonight we have

:25:33.:25:36.

a fair amount of clear sky developing. Just towards dawn

:25:36.:25:44.

tomorrow we will see a few mist or fog patches. But they won't spoil

:25:44.:25:51.

the day. Most of that will disappear. It is a fine day, but a

:25:51.:25:55.

chilly start at seven degrees. But tomorrow is fine with a lot of

:25:55.:25:59.

sunshine. Towards the end of the afternoon perhaps a build up of fair

:25:59.:26:04.

weather cloud across Cornwall and central parts of Devon. But most of

:26:04.:26:13.

us will have a lot of sunshine and warmer too. A bit cool along the

:26:13.:26:19.

coastline here at 15 degrees. But inland it is 21. That is 70

:26:19.:26:26.

Fahrenheit. For the Isles of Scilly, a keep breeze from the east holding

:26:26.:26:30.

temperatures down to 15. But unbroken sunshine. Times of high

:26:30.:26:40.
:26:40.:26:46.

was in the sea over the weekend and it is chilly, sea temperatures about

:26:46.:26:51.

11 degrees. For the coastal waters forecast, there is more of a breeze

:26:51.:26:56.

developing in the second half of the day, easterly force three or four,

:26:56.:27:06.

mainly fair, perhaps picking up to force five along the south coast. If

:27:06.:27:11.

you're enjoying this fine weather and are outside, the pollen is high

:27:11.:27:19.

and the UV is at six, which is high. That is the forecast for the rest of

:27:19.:27:23.

the week. Not much change. A bit warmer each day. Very small chance

:27:23.:27:29.
