it. This is the way to travel. A report into the death of a trawler | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
skipper from Devon has revealed the boat had more than the advised load. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch released its report into the | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
sinking last September of Sarah Jayne today. It's found that the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
trawler had about 20 tonnes of fish on board, when 17 was the advised | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
amount. A life raft on board did not automatically inflate because it was | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
obstructed by the boat's structure. None of the crew was wearing | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
lifejackets. The skipper who died was 51-year-old Geoff Ingram. In a | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
moment, we will talk to local MP Cheryl -- Sheryll Murray, but first, | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
this report. Preparing for another day at sea. | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
This time that you come it was full. The fate of fishermen was brought | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
into sharp focus when the trawler Sarah Jayne sank six miles off the | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
coast. 51-year-old father of two Geoff Ingram died in the tragedy. | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
Today, the Marine Accident Investigation Branch ra -- published | :02:30. | :02:40. | |
:02:40. | :02:59. | ||
occupation they are involved in. There have been issues in the past | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
with lifejackets being really bulky and we are involved in a scheme | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
where they are very neat and we are trying to get that information out | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
to them. So we actually offer lifejackets at a very low price, | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
just to get them in use. The report estimates that there was around 20 | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
tonnes of fish on board the boat at the time of the accident, three | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
tonnes more than the recommended amount. When you are loading in | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
excess of that, you are eating into the stability reserve, and so | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
therefore a large wave or a swamping ora snagging of a net, you have no | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
margin to deal with it. But today, eight fishermen who worked with | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
Geoff Ingram told the BBC he believed the boat could carry more. | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
-- a fisherman. The reporters it was carrying more than it could, but in | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
my experience, the vessel was more than capable of carrying in excess | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
of 20 tonnes. The sinking of the Sarah Jayne is still an extremely | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
sensitive subjective. Geoff Ingram was a highly respected member of the | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
community and an experienced sailor. He had served on the Exmouth | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
lifeboat for 20 years. One of our sort of close community isn't with | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
us any more. A friend that you have turned to at different times for | :04:22. | :04:30. | |
fishing. We will remember him for years and years to come. The ML IB | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
says that as a result of the accident, it will make | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
recommendations to provide clearer and more comprehensive guidance for | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
the stability of small fishing vessels. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Earlier, I spoke to the MP for South East Cornwall, Sheryll Murray, whose | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
husband Neal was a fisherman and died at an accident -- in an | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
accident at sea in 2011. I asked what could be done to improve the | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
safety of trawler men. I think the fishing industry safety group have | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
been working very hard with manufacturers to actually develop a | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
light jacket that fisher men can wear and working. I know Neal made a | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
video for the MCA back in 2006 to promote the benefits of wearing a | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
light jacket. My message to all of the fisherman is think of your | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
family, spend, I think it is about �100, and get yourself a light | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
jacket and where one. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch says | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
it once the industry itself to improve safety at cell before | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
legislation is imposed. Can that be done or is legislation the only | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
route? When I brought forward the debate for safety sops for the | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
equipment, I found out that European funding was available, but if it was | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
a compulsory measure, it would mean that they could not apply for those | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
European grants. I can understand what they want the industry to do | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
this as a voluntary measure. And I am absolutely certain that if | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
fisherman can be persuaded to see sense -- fishermen can persuaded to | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
see sense and not just because it will save their lives and increase | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
their chances of survival, but they are sensible and committed family | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
men, so my message to them, as I say is please, please, please think of | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
your family and give yourself the best chance of survival, to stay | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
with them. Briefly, the Marine Accident Investigation Branch have | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
also pointed out this is the latest in a series of tragedies, losses at | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
sea, where overloading the boat has been a contributory factor. What can | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
be done to address that? We need to work with the industry to try and | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
find ways of making sure that the estimated catch that they are | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
:07:02. | :07:03. | ||
bringing ashore is actually better estimated, because we have seen | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
tragedies from a few years ago and now the Sarah Jayne, this is one of | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
the causes of the capsise of those vessels, and both of them resulted | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
in the loss of life, and we have do improve this. But I can understand | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
why fishermen are tempted to bring their whole catch ashore. Sheryll | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
Murray, thank you very much indeed for joining us. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
A Devon mother who lost her son in a road accident is using the tragedy | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
to campaign for safer driving. Jackie Brealy is taking her powerful | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
story into schools and colleges to encourage youngsters to undergo | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
additional training after learning to drive. Leigh Rundle reports. | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
This is my son. It was my son. What I have left of him is just a heart | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
full of memories, really. A heart full of his ashes, because one day | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
my son went out for an evening drink with his mates, got in the car and | :07:59. | :08:09. | |
neither of them came back. Jackie Brady -- Jackie Brealy lost her son | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
Paul in a car crash. Her focus now is focusing young drivers with | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
something called the Pass Plus cause. When you do your license case | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
you don't do motorway driving or other condition driving, and the | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
course does all of that. Paul died when the car he was travelling in | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
plunged into a river last October. He was 24. Obviously it is quite | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
impacted and emotional and will affect everyone. It does hit home, | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
and the college knew her son. emotionally touch you, you feel you | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
should do something about it, because it has happened to somebody | :08:53. | :09:01. | |
else. Until today, though, none of the students here at South Dartmoor | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
College had heard about Pass Plus. The teenagers today here have been | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
fantastic and responded brilliantly. Just to be able to talk to them and | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
find out who knew what, most of them knew nothing. They think they know | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
everything but they have responded fantastically and I'm very proud of | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
them. What these young people will be left with is the realisation that | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
it could happen to them. But more importantly, the best way is to make | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
sure it doesn't. One of the south-west's best-known | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
growers of organic vegetables has got behind a campaign against plans | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
by the European Union to regulate the production of seeds. Guy Watson | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
says the EU Commission is about to wreck the work of organic farmers | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
and small independent growers with new and unnecessary legislation. Our | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell reports. | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
Seeds are our future. Without them, there is very little to eat, but it | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
is being claimed that specialist producers could be forced out of | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
business and rarer varieties of crop lost altogether, unless something is | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
done to stop proposed European Union legislation. These are a distant | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
relative of the Thistle, also related to artichokes, a great | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
delicacy in certain areas of Italy. Guy Watson has made his name growing | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
organic produce. I would be banned from growing this and banned from | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
selling any seeds is under the proposed regulations. He says EU | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
bureaucrats are considering banning crops which are not registered and | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
approved by license, and he says it is a disaster in the making. Having | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
a global marketplace with uniform regulations is great for them at the | :10:48. | :10:58. | |
:10:58. | :11:01. | ||
centre, selling the same maze along -- but it does not suit the smaller | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
producers. Stability comes from diversity. Rarer varieties of | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
vegetables or something consumers want in their boxes, according to | :11:09. | :11:19. | |
:11:19. | :11:36. | ||
led to this perception that again, Brussels had tried to regulate what | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
:11:46. | :11:47. | ||
it shouldn't. Here, we have the opposite situation, Brussels is | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
deregulating. Guy Watson hopes to harvest this commercially, but he | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
says harvesting seeds such as this could become impossible if new | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
legislation favours the very biggest seed producers at the expense of | :11:58. | :12:08. | |
:12:08. | :12:10. | ||
smaller growers. Doctors at the world-leading Diving | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Diseases Research Centre in Plymouth have played a major part in saving a | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Nigerian man who was trapped underwater after the ship he was on | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
sank. He was stuck in an air bubble for 60 hours. He wasn't expected to | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
survive. Earlier I spoke to Dr Sally Simmonds from the charity the DDRC | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
and asked her how remarkable the man's survival was. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
I think this is a pretty amazing rescue, to be honest. It sounds | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
astonishing, the fact that he has managed to survive up to 60 hours | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
underwater against all of the possibilities that could go wrong. | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
And being trapped underwater for that long, what sort of effect will | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
it have on his body? Although he wasn't a diver, we understand that a | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
nitrogen bubbles can cause the bends. If he comes out of the water | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
to quickly, the body explodes, basically. I can demonstrate this | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
fairly quickly to you. A bottle of fairly quickly to you. A bottle of | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
fizzy pop, I shake this up and I ask you to open it up. I had better not | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
in here. That not, it is going to in here. That not, it is going to | :13:11. | :13:11. | |
make a bit of a mess, which is what make a bit of a mess, which is | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
happen to the human body if you took it out of pressure at depth, as he | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
had been trapped in the tugboat. you stepped in from thousands of | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
miles away here in Plymouth and started to offer advice. What advice | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
where you giving to avoid that happening? There were a couple of | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
things that had to be taken into consideration. Avoiding the bends | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
was the main one, and so what we did was got a saturation team that | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
happened to be in, and they managed to get a diver into the air pocket | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
with the chapel, Harrison, and they showed him, you can see on here, | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
this is a hard hat that divers use commercially these days. They would | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
have shown him how to use this, put this on and he would have read | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
through this. They would have then had taken him into a diving bell, | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
which is compressed at the same depth he was out, 35 metres, and he | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
would have climbed into that. The would have climbed into that. The | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
bell is kept up pressure, so it is then brought up into the ship itself | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
and then it is locked into a hyperbaric chamber facility, similar | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
to this sort of thing. And in this saturation, divers live for up to a | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
month at a time, all kept at pressure, depending on the working | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
depth they are going to go to. So he would have been brought out from the | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
equivalent depth of 35 metres, locked onto this and then | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
decompressed to allow the nitrogen and the other gases to come out as | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
solution safely and then service normally. I would hope that in the | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
long term, he will do extremely well. I understand he's not terribly | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
keen to go back to see just at the moment but I can understand that. | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
Thank you very much for joining us. Two Devon hospitals have admitted to | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
"gross failings" which led to the premature and preventable death of a | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
woman from Devon. 67-year-old Christine Smith died of a massive | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
brain haemorrhage in 2009 after doctors at both North Devon and | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
Derriford Hospital failed to diagnose her symptoms. Her family | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
has been paid an undisclosed settlement. Both NHS Trusts have | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
apologised and agreed that if they had acted sooner, Christine's life | :15:15. | :15:24. | |
would probably have been saved. think that was very difficult for | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
the family. Very much mixed emotions, because they wanted to get | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
justice for Christine because she had been very badly let down, but | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
equally very difficult to hear that she had been -- if she had been | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
:15:46. | :15:59. | ||
treated appropriately, she would Moving up to the frontline. This is | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
the battle ground where Royal Marines are going hand-to-hand | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
against a foreign invader. They are targeting Himalayan Balsam, a plant | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
brought to the UK from Asia in the 1,800, which has since spread, | :16:11. | :16:21. | |
:16:21. | :16:21. | ||
becoming a problem weed. This land belongs to enter the state, which | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
also owns the land where the Marines train. We have a good partnership | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
with them and for efforts like this, they are willing to come forward and | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
help. We have 40 troops for the day, and some of them are working | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
down near the brook and some of them down to the Otter valley estuary. | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
is vital that this work is carried out now. Leave it much longer and | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
these weeds would fly away, and that is when seedpods literally explode, | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
releasing them into the air, and inseminating waterways. That is why | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
this battle is being fought on many fronts. Volunteers and staff are | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
trying to stop the weed progressing of the true bridges of the River | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
otter -- tributaries. And it seems to be working. This time last year, | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
it was a sea, hundreds of feet of Himalayan Balsam to head height, and | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
it grows very tall. This year, it is not so bad, so we are making inroads | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
and hopefully continue. Removing the weed will enable native plant | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
species to flourish, but it is resilient and while a nationwide | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
programme of eradication is being worked on, keeping it under control | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
:17:38. | :17:43. | ||
is the best strategy for now. Two south-west sailors have set off | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
on the third leg of the Solitaire Du Figaro yacht race, which started in | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
Spain today. Falmouth's Sam Goodchild and Dartmouth's Henry | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
Bomby are competing in the single-handed race, which started in | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
Gijon, in Spain, bound for Roscoff, in France. Spotlight's Andy Breare | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
reports. The sun has been shining in Gijon | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
this week and the 40 strong fleet is ready for the third and longest leg | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
of the Solitaire Du Figaro. Sam Goodchild from Falmouth has had a | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
terrific first half of this race. He is currently in overall ninth place, | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
but he knows the next few days will be tough. No leg is ever the same as | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
the one before or any other leg, so it is about looking at yourself and | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
making the boat go. So having two more legs under my belt, it is going | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
to help, but this leg is not going to be the same, so there may be | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
things I can draw from those and there may not be, we will have to | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
wait and see. The second half of this race sees the fleet sailing up | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
to Roscoff before the final leg to the finish. Henry Bomby is also | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
having a good race, but before this morning's start, it was the wind, or | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
the lack of it that was on his mind. We have high pressure in the middle | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
of the Bay of Biscay and the course we are going to take takes us right | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
through the middle of that, there will be no wind, so we have to make | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
a decision to go to the left or the right of it and it is going to be | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
make or break. The guys that get into the light area of wind first | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
will extend their lead. So this leg should improve some exciting | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
tactical racing. The boats should be in Roscoff by the weekend. | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
Now, it is not so much cream teas as striptease on offer at one National | :19:20. | :19:29. | |
Trust property in Devon. Killerton House near Exeter is hosting a | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
vintage open air concert, complete with scantily-clad burlesque | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
dancers. Alison Johns reports. The 18th century country house at | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
killer turned is everything one would expect of a National Trust | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
property -- at Killerton. Later this month, it is hosting an evening with | :19:48. | :19:58. | |
:19:58. | :19:59. | ||
1940s singer Lolo Amour complete with cheeky burlesque dancers. | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
Modelling the corsets, Killerton's service manager. It is not about | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
burlesque, it is about the costume collection. We had as one of the | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
largest collections in the trust and are putting on a two-day vintage | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
fashion event. It shows of the collection so well and we want to | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
celebrate everything that is vintage and a part of that is burlesque and | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
the costumes they wore, so there is no stripping, nothing like that, it | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
is a family show, but it is about seeing what they wore and how they | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
wore it. But is this really what the National Trust set-up to preserve | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
and protect historic places should be doing? We have the collection | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
full of all sorts of different types of fashion, and this is a part of | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
that fashion that we want to include and engage people with. It is not a | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
1950s strip show or anything sleazy, it is a family evening out. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
So what do visitors make up the prospect of scantily cloud dancers | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
at stately Killerton House? The more risque the National Trust is, the | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
better. The more it will attract people of different ilk and not | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
wanting to be cautious. It might get different Cleon tell in which is a | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
good thing, because when they get here, they find it just cream teas | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
-- clientele. Burlesque definitely has a different connotation to me | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
than just tastefully dressed women. It would be more tastefully | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
undressed women. The National Trust insists it will all be in the best | :21:27. | :21:37. | |
:21:37. | :21:41. | ||
possible taste. Well, I never. I like the look bad. | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
-- of that. In this world of fast living and | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
instant meals, a new meaning to the expression "food on the go" was | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
introduced today. Rail passengers were treated to huge helpings of | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
nostalgia, as the Silver Service Pullman breakfast was brought back | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
after a five-year break. Kippers, a full English and even | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
champagne was enjoyed by passengers on the journey from Penzance to | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
Padddington, including a familiar face, as Julie Fisher found out. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
Loading up the dining car on the 6:55 p.m. From Plymouth to | :22:07. | :22:16. | |
Paddington. -- 6:55am. It doesn't quite conjure up the romance of the | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Orient express but does herald the end of a microwave Bacon bat as your | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
first meal of the day. The soothing clink of cutlery on China, | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
immaculate tablecloths. The waft of kippers and a full English and | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
smoked salmon enticing the first customer toward sin. Can I have some | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
cereals? He is a harsh critic of Strictly Come Dancing. What is the | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
verdict? If you buy the cheapest ticket you can get and upgrade for | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
�18, it is a bargain and you get all of this delicious food and booze and | :22:52. | :23:01. | |
comfort for next to nothing. In the galley, the menu, hand-picked | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
by Dartmouth's celebrity chef, is all freshly cooked on the move. | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
Quite a few good friends of mine are local suppliers and it is important | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
to keep business in the south-west. Even with an �18 price tag for | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
breakfast, by Tiverton, the dining car was packed. I would pay more | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
than �18 for this in London, porridge, grapefruit juice, coffee, | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
a full breakfast and a view. I sort of thing that is OK. Plating of | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
silver service style on a high-speed train without any mishaps is no mean | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
feat. Have you ever come a cropper with a kipper? No, but I once | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
dropped a pen in a gentleman's Mellon, which was rather | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
embarrassing. I quickly retrieved it and went bright red. Even that is a | :23:53. | :24:02. | |
step up from the old curled up And what do we say to that? | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
Fabulous. Let's see if the weather is. David | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
has forecast. has forecast. | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
Good evening. We have had a very blustery day but at least the | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
sunshine has come back out through the afternoon and some pleasant late | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
sunshine to enjoy, but it does not last. Most of the clear sky will be | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
overnight before more cloud arrives tomorrow, so tomorrow, there may be | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
some brightness but there is more rain in the forecast, especially | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
towards the end of the afternoon. We are between weather systems at the | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
moment, we still have low pressure well and truly in charge with a weak | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
ridge of high pressure around overnight tonight but these weather | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
systems are getting close over the next 24 hours and these ones will | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
freshen the wins tomorrow afternoon, becoming strong southerly winds and | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
there is more rain in the forecast. Even though it looks dry on | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
Saturday, it will be quite windy and there is every chance we will see a | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
few showers around. This area of low pressure, some uncertainty at this | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
stage, but it does look like it is heading our way the Sunday. | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
Overnight tonight, scattering of showers, but most of us getting away | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
with a clear night before more cloud approaches from the West. That'll | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
come in and give us a few light spots of rain by dawn tomorrow | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
morning. The wind is falling light inland but freshening from the west, | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
so parts of West Cornwall, those southerly winds beginning to | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
increase. Overnight, temperatures may dip briefly to nine or 10 | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
degrees but by the morning with the cloud returning, back up to 12 or 13 | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
degrees and for tomorrow morning, a lot of cloud which might produce a | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
July to showers. Brightening up for a time, the early afternoon could | :25:39. | :25:47. | |
give some showers, but further west, the cloud returning and thick enough | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
to give outbreaks of rain, and that outbreak of rain will travel right | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
through the south-west of England tomorrow evening. Temperatures cool | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
in the West but the cloud, 15 or 16 degrees. A top figure of 17 or 18, | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
Torbay of two or 18, Torbay up towards Yeovil likely to see the | :26:04. | :26:12. | |
highest temperatures. -- Torbay Ulsan some dry weather around but it | :26:12. | :26:22. | |

will be damp, especially in the south coast are likely to be quite | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
messy. -- surface. The winds do moderate tomorrow but with them | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
increasing, most of the beaches will get up to four or five feet and | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
generally rather messy. The coastal waters forecast, the wind is | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
steadily increasing and after Fairweather, the rainbow set in and | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
good to moderate visibility, with winds up to force five or six, | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
increasing to Gayle for seven or eight tomorrow evening, a southerly | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
wind as the front approaches. The weekend, some bright weather on | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
Saturday, a few showers dotted around but quite windy day, strong | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
westerly winds and there is every chance that a few showers could turn | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
out to heavy. On Sunday, that new area of low pressure turning up, | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
bringing persistent rain across us. Monday and Tuesday, a scattering of | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
showers, it may become a little bit drier and brighter on Tuesday, but | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
certainly for the next few days, staying generally rather unsettled. | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
staying generally rather unsettled. Have a good evening. | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Maybe not so fabulous after all. It feels like we have kissed some good | :27:32. | :27:35. |
