A teenager from Cornwall describes the moment she was rescued from a

:00:15.:00:19.

tall ship as it smashed against the rocks. Good evening. The Astrid got

:00:19.:00:22.

into difficulties off the coast of Ireland prompting a major rescue

:00:22.:00:26.

operation. Tonight we'll hear Katie Spencer's account of what happened.

:00:27.:00:32.

It's just weird to think how lucky we were to get off because I just

:00:32.:00:36.

wouldn't imagine something like that happening. You just don't realise

:00:36.:00:42.

how serious it is until to you watch it back and think, oh, my gosh.

:00:42.:00:52.
:00:52.:00:53.

Also, triple amputee becomes the first person to receive state-of-the

speak to Plymouth schoolgirl and world champion swimmer Ruta

:01:09.:01:12.

Meilutyte about her next challenge. A teenager from Cornwall has

:01:12.:01:15.

described the dramatic moment when a sailing boat she was on started

:01:15.:01:18.

sinking. Rescuers say it's a miracle everyone survived when the tall ship

:01:19.:01:22.

Astrid lost power and hit rocks off the Irish coast last week. Katie

:01:22.:01:26.

Spencer, who lives in Looe, was one of 30 people onboard the training

:01:26.:01:29.

vessel. We'll hear from her in a moment, but first John Henderson

:01:29.:01:34.

describes how events unfolded. On her side on rocks in rough seas.

:01:34.:01:38.

But all those onboard the Astrid - her seven strong crew and 23

:01:38.:01:41.

teenagers - were rescued. I think it's an absolute miracle that you

:01:41.:01:44.

have a situation like that and you get 30 people that literally walk

:01:44.:01:54.
:01:54.:01:57.

away from this sort of disaster and without a scratch. It's unheard of.

:01:57.:02:00.

This footage from the RNLI shows one of the Astrid's liferafts used to

:02:00.:02:04.

get 12 people to safety. The rest were picked up by lifeboats. In all

:02:04.:02:07.

four were involved in the rescue, along with two helicopters from the

:02:07.:02:10.

Irish Coastguard. It's a credit to the training of our emergency

:02:10.:02:13.

services. If it had been another ten or 15 minutes, we might have been

:02:13.:02:23.
:02:23.:02:25.

talking about a totally different talking about a totally different

:02:25.:02:28.

story. The Astrid is well known in the waters around the south-west.

:02:28.:02:32.

Spotlight was on board the 42 metre sail training vessel in 1998

:02:32.:02:35.

following a refit. For a while she was based in Weymouth. She was there

:02:35.:02:39.

again, just a week before she was blown onto rocks. For now there's a

:02:39.:02:43.

200 metre exclusion zone around the wreck, which is said to be badly

:02:43.:02:46.

damaged with a slim chance the Astrid will ever sail again.

:02:46.:02:49.

15-year-old Katie Spencer from Looe, who's a pupil at Devonport High

:02:49.:02:52.

School for Girls in Plymouth, was onboard the Astrid. I asked her how

:02:52.:02:56.

the alarm was raised. I was downstairs, and I was just - I had

:02:56.:03:01.

to go to sleep, and someone came down stairs and was like, "Everybody

:03:01.:03:05.

up. Get up on deck and put a life jacket on." We were like, what's

:03:05.:03:10.

happening? We got up there and realised the engine had powered off

:03:10.:03:14.

and we were drifting towards the rocks. At that stage, did you know

:03:14.:03:18.

how serious things were going to get? We thought it was a precaution.

:03:18.:03:22.

We didn't really realise until we got close to the rocks that it was

:03:22.:03:25.

really serious. So you were still onboard when the ship was hitting

:03:25.:03:31.

the coast, the rocks? Yeah, we were all sat down at the back and kind of

:03:31.:03:36.

holding onto the boat and were being hit against the rocks. How did the

:03:36.:03:40.

evacuate of the ship unfold? How did you all get off? Whilst we were

:03:40.:03:46.

being hit against the rocks, a little motor boat from the RNLI came

:03:46.:03:53.

over. They were taken away in that, and the other 18 of us got away in a

:03:53.:03:57.

lifeboat. Some of your colleagues were already off, but you were still

:03:57.:04:02.

on the ship? Yeah, I saw them going away. What was going on in your mind

:04:02.:04:06.

at that moment? I felt we were going to get off, but it was just kind of

:04:06.:04:11.

like, when will we get off because we were hitting against the side.

:04:11.:04:17.

Time went on forever. Take us through when you were going to get

:04:17.:04:23.

off the boat? This is your life raft? Yeah, I was in that. We got

:04:23.:04:29.

towed away and taken to a really big RNLI boat which took us to a town,

:04:29.:04:34.

and we stayed there and kind of had some food and stuff. We have heard

:04:34.:04:38.

from RNLI people since who said to get everyone off safely was a

:04:38.:04:41.

miracle. When you hear that now, what do you think? It's just weird

:04:41.:04:46.

to think how lucky we were to get off because you just wouldn't

:04:46.:04:50.

imagine something like this happening. You kind of don't realise

:04:50.:04:53.

how serious something like this is until you watch it back and think,

:04:53.:04:57.

my gosh! The only thing you managed to get off the ship with apart from

:04:57.:05:02.

the clothes you were wearing is your phone? When you got on to dry land,

:05:02.:05:09.

how were you looked after? When we got on to dry land we were taken to

:05:09.:05:14.

the yacht club where they had showers, and a hotel nearby gave us

:05:14.:05:17.

clothes, so we all kind of managed to make do with that then just some

:05:17.:05:20.

local people were like, yeah, you can come stay with us for the night.

:05:20.:05:25.

So that was great, and yeah, everyone just gave us food and

:05:25.:05:29.

clothes, which was quite good. a remarkable story. Thank you very

:05:29.:05:36.

much indeed for telling us about it. That's all right.

:05:37.:05:40.

A former Royal Marine from Plymouth who lost three limbs in Afghanistan

:05:40.:05:43.

is the first veteran to receive new state-of the art "bionic" legs on

:05:43.:05:52.

the NHS. Mark Ormrod feared he would have to remortgage his home to pay

:05:52.:05:56.

for the new limbs. But he's now able to benefit from a share of �11

:05:56.:05:59.

million set aside for veterans by the Government. Here's our defence

:05:59.:06:08.

reporter Scott Bingham. MarkOrmrod continues to take everything in

:06:08.:06:13.

stride. He has been at this clinic since morning working hard with

:06:13.:06:17.

physiotherapists to get used to his new legs. They should help a man who

:06:17.:06:22.

has already overcome so many obstacles to take just a few more.

:06:22.:06:28.

lot of it was my thing, you know, but confidence issues before -

:06:28.:06:32.

carrying my young children around - my son was very young. I didn't want

:06:32.:06:37.

to carry him around, but with these, because they're more stable, I'm

:06:37.:06:40.

more confident I'll be able to carry the kids around and help out a lot

:06:40.:06:46.

more around the house and do stuff than I felt before. The bionic

:06:46.:06:56.
:06:56.:06:58.

element is the genium knee joint - developed in Germany. It's packed

:06:58.:07:01.

with the latest technology such as gyroscopes, accelerometers and a

:07:01.:07:04.

micropocessor to closley mimic the functions of a natural knee, making

:07:04.:07:07.

everyday tasks that much easier. People have the ability to walk

:07:07.:07:09.

upstairs. It's something we all take for granted, but for an afternoon

:07:09.:07:12.

you tee, it's nearly impossible. It's a little movement pattern. It

:07:13.:07:19.

senses he's going do it, then helps him get upstairs. Just six months

:07:20.:07:23.

ago Mark faced having to remortgage his home to pay for the legs, but

:07:23.:07:26.

now thanks to �11 million of Government funding, he's the first

:07:26.:07:30.

veteran to get these new limbs on the NHS. They cost around �50,000

:07:30.:07:33.

each, but experts say that's good value compared to many other

:07:33.:07:39.

treatments. Some of those are just to maintain a certain level, whereas

:07:40.:07:42.

we're actually getting people back walking, back out into the

:07:42.:07:46.

community, back working, back with their families and really enhancing

:07:46.:07:51.

their lives. Mark says veteran amputees should

:07:51.:07:55.

make use of the funding while it's still available.

:07:55.:07:59.

The daughter of an 83-year-old woman who has been missing from her home

:07:59.:08:02.

in Exeter for five days is appealing for people to check out buildings.

:08:02.:08:05.

Today 25 specialist officers have been searching for Alma Royle, who

:08:05.:08:15.
:08:15.:08:17.

has dementia. Hamish Marshall specialist officers have been

:08:17.:08:25.

combing this area since Sunday. Even in summer, five nights out in the

:08:25.:08:27.

elements is very dangerous For Alma's daughter it's waiting,

:08:27.:08:34.

worrying but hoping. I have to be real realistic. It's just to know

:08:34.:08:39.

where she is - because of the dementia she could be living in

:08:39.:08:43.

another house with someone who she thinks is her husband because she

:08:43.:08:48.

has been looking for my dad. That I don't know. I can always cling onto

:08:48.:08:52.

that hope. Alma has been widowed for five

:08:52.:08:55.

years. She's physically well but recently she's got more confused.

:08:55.:08:59.

She was last seen in this store near her home last Friday. When her

:08:59.:09:02.

daughter failed to make contact with her on Saturday, she raised the

:09:02.:09:05.

alarm. The concern was that fence along there - that might be there.

:09:05.:09:10.

We've cleared all At the control centre careful note

:09:10.:09:15.

is kept of which places have and haven't been searched. That. 25

:09:15.:09:18.

specialist police officers are involved in the search, and they're

:09:18.:09:22.

going to be joined by members of the Dartmoor Rescue group they're

:09:22.:09:29.

looking at an area of 1.6 kilometres because research shows dementia

:09:29.:09:32.

sufferers don't normally wander that much further than that.

:09:32.:09:37.

It's a really steep drop through extreme extremely thick undergrowth.

:09:37.:09:41.

We have had the helicopter out with imaging. We have had scent dogs go

:09:42.:09:46.

through, but that is extremely problematic. We have to take into

:09:46.:09:49.

account it's dangerous for officers to search as well.

:09:49.:09:52.

Alma has lived in Exeter for nearly 30 years. She doesn't have her

:09:52.:09:59.

glasses or bus pass. The search for her in this area goes on.

:09:59.:10:02.

A widower from Devon has spoken of his distress after an insurance

:10:02.:10:05.

company sent two letters addressed to his late wife advertising health

:10:05.:10:11.

insurance even though they knew she was dead. The letters from Aviva

:10:11.:10:14.

were addressed to June Davies "deceased". The company has

:10:14.:10:17.

apologised and says its changed the way it works to ensure it won't

:10:17.:10:23.

happen again. Our south Devon reporter John Ayres has more.

:10:23.:10:28.

John Davies lost his wife June ten years ago. A few months ago, out of

:10:28.:10:32.

the blue, Aviva sent a letter to her advertising health insurance. The

:10:32.:10:35.

address on the front acknowledged she was deceased. Mr Davies

:10:35.:10:39.

complained. They apologised and said they wouldn't do it again, except

:10:39.:10:49.
:10:49.:10:50.

they have. I got the first and I went aPLO President-Electic. I mean,

:10:50.:10:58.

what -- apoplectic. What does one do? You get a letter, and it's an

:10:58.:11:03.

insurance policy. They even spelled "deceased wrong". I am going what is

:11:03.:11:08.

going on here? So I rang up obviously very, very- it was

:11:08.:11:14.

traumatic. His wife June was a concert pianist, produced musicals

:11:14.:11:23.

and taught music. She had cancer when she died. Some difficulty with

:11:23.:11:33.
:11:33.:11:58.

the information I'd sent you? Yeah, saying this will not happen again,

:11:58.:12:05.

and it has done. It's just unbelievable - total incompetence,

:12:05.:12:14.

total incompetence with a national , big, international company.

:12:14.:12:18.

It's been a distressing time for Mr Davies. He's hoping now that another

:12:18.:12:20.

letter doesn't arrive, bringing it all up again.

:12:20.:12:23.

Cornwall Council is to close two of its residential children's homes

:12:23.:12:29.

after both had been described as inadequate by inspectors. They are

:12:29.:12:32.

also reviewing the future of the county's three other homes. The

:12:32.:12:36.

council says it wants to re-invest the money into other ways of caring

:12:36.:12:39.

for children who need help. It's understood more children will now be

:12:39.:12:45.

given temporary homes with families. Eleanor Parkinson reports.

:12:45.:12:49.

17-year-old Connor spent three months in a children's home when he

:12:49.:12:53.

was 15. He temporarily moved out of his family home because of his

:12:53.:12:57.

challenging behaviour. He's now back with his family and say his stay in

:12:57.:13:01.

residential care helped with his problems. The time away helped, the

:13:01.:13:07.

fact that I didn't have my dad around to argue with, the care I am

:13:07.:13:11.

offered - as much support as possible, which was really helpful,

:13:11.:13:14.

the fact I was mixing with other young people who also had troubles

:13:14.:13:19.

at home, talked to them. But the council is now closing two of its

:13:19.:13:28.

children's homes, one in Cam born and one in less guard. Both homes

:13:28.:13:36.

had been criticised as inadequate in their recent Ofsted inspections. The

:13:36.:13:40.

council says they want to change the way they care for vulnerable

:13:40.:13:45.

children, and they now believe they do better when placed in a family

:13:45.:13:50.

setting. We all know how important a family unit is for a child and a

:13:50.:13:53.

young person's development. That's what we need to look at, is trying

:13:53.:13:57.

to keep those children who are at risk in the family unit where it's

:13:57.:14:03.

at safe or in the wider family or fostering, so they get that family

:14:03.:14:06.

environment, growing new a loving, nurturing world so it sets them up

:14:06.:14:11.

right for life. The councillor said it is also reviewing the future of

:14:11.:14:15.

the county's three other children's homes. It's said although the plan

:14:15.:14:19.

isn't financially driven, a councillor reported that placing a

:14:19.:14:25.

child into a family setting is more cost effective.

:14:25.:14:28.

Residents in the St Ives area no longer need to boil their tap water

:14:28.:14:32.

before drinking it. More than a thousand homes have had to boil

:14:32.:14:34.

water used for drinking, cooking, washing food and cleaning teeth

:14:34.:14:37.

since Sunday. It was after abnormal levels of colyform bacteria were

:14:37.:14:40.

found in the sealed reservoir serving the area. South West Water

:14:40.:14:50.

says test results are now clear. After a disastrous start, this

:14:50.:14:56.

year's harvest is on course to be a big improvement on last year's. The

:14:56.:14:59.

long cold winter and a very late spring meant farmers ploughed some

:14:59.:15:02.

crops back into the ground and started again, but the hot weather

:15:02.:15:05.

of recent weeks appears to have saved the day. Our environment

:15:05.:15:09.

correspondent Adrian Campbell reports.

:15:09.:15:14.

This summer looks set to be a good harvest. These fields of oil-seed

:15:14.:15:19.

rape have managed to escape the worst of last summer's washout. Now,

:15:19.:15:23.

despite everyone's fears, they're set to deliver a very healthy crop.

:15:23.:15:28.

Some of the crops didn't survive the winter, had to be ripped up, pulled

:15:28.:15:32.

up, redrilled again in the spring, but the year so far has been fairly

:15:32.:15:36.

kind to what's survived and what's gone in this spring. Going back to

:15:36.:15:40.

February, March time, things were locking really dire. The crops were

:15:40.:15:44.

looking poor. Everything was looking poor. They pulled through, and

:15:44.:15:48.

surprise, surprise, the crops have turned out good. Will says this

:15:49.:15:52.

year's prices for crops reflect the weather conditions both here and

:15:52.:15:56.

around the globe. The better weather means more crops, but the economics

:15:56.:16:01.

of supply and demand means their value has dropped. Last year wheat

:16:01.:16:07.

was around 180 pounds a tonne, but this year it's around �160. It's a

:16:07.:16:12.

similar story for oil-seed rape, and feed barley has also shown a drop in

:16:12.:16:19.

price. Will and his son Charles closely monitor all their crops.

:16:19.:16:23.

They use a special metre to check on the moisture content. Too much

:16:23.:16:28.

moisture can delay the harvest. Charles says he expects more extreme

:16:28.:16:31.

weather events in the future, but they're a real challenge. At the

:16:31.:16:36.

moment, it's worrying to see the sort of very cold spring we had, and

:16:37.:16:40.

then this warm heatwave last year. There was a lot of rain. At the

:16:40.:16:44.

moment, there is no real trend, so it is very difficult to sort of plan

:16:44.:16:52.

and to forecast and really to meet and to adapt to these changes.

:16:52.:16:55.

Despite all the recent setbacks, the harvest is looking good. That should

:16:55.:17:01.

help consumers with lower prices. It's been quite a week for Plymouth

:17:01.:17:04.

college student Ruta Meilutyte, notching up a world record and

:17:04.:17:07.

taking the world champion title. Tonight she's back in the training

:17:07.:17:10.

pool as she prepares for her next challenge at the World

:17:10.:17:13.

Championships. But the 16-year-old, who swims for Plymouth Leander and

:17:13.:17:16.

Lithuania, joined us earlier from Barcelona, along with her coach John

:17:16.:17:26.
:17:26.:17:28.

Rudd. I'm really, really happy with all semithree swims, yeah, but I

:17:28.:17:35.

will still try to keep focussed for the upcoming events, 50 breaststroke

:17:35.:17:39.

and... That's right. You're only halfway through your meet so far.

:17:39.:17:44.

Tomorrow are the heats for the 100 metres freestyle. What are your

:17:44.:17:49.

chances like for that? I think the field is really really fast, and I

:17:49.:17:54.

don't think I have a really big chance of making the semi, but yeah,

:17:54.:17:59.

I'm just going to go out there, have fun, and hopefully, I can go under

:17:59.:18:04.

the 55-second mark. That's all I want to do, and yeah, that's all.

:18:04.:18:09.

The 50-metre title could now be well in your sights. How about a 50-metre

:18:09.:18:17.

world record as well? Um, I'm pretty close, and yeah, I don't know. I'll

:18:17.:18:22.

just do my best and see what happens. So John, you're the coach.

:18:22.:18:27.

Your job done really, so far, is it? It's a part of a job done because as

:18:27.:18:30.

she sea, we've still got another big event to swim on Saturday and

:18:30.:18:35.

Sunday, but yeah, I couldn't be more happy to come here and watch her

:18:35.:18:39.

take a world record and then the following day pick up the gold medal

:18:39.:18:44.

to add to her Olympic gold. It's a fantastic achievement for her and

:18:44.:18:49.

extremely gratifying for me. After she set the world record, going into

:18:49.:18:54.

the final, how did you prepare her for what was coming up? Clearly, at

:18:54.:18:58.

that point she was the hot favourite to take the title. We always do the

:18:58.:19:02.

same thing in the same way. It's one of the things I think we're good at

:19:02.:19:06.

is we keep everything regular and normal. We've always said we can't

:19:06.:19:10.

control what anybody else does, and we just focus on the way that she

:19:10.:19:13.

races. That's what we did for the semifinal for the record and the

:19:13.:19:18.

final for the medal. It was, concentrate on your swim, your way,

:19:18.:19:22.

shut out anything else that's going on. It's one of the reasons why

:19:22.:19:26.

she's a special athlete, because she's able to do that. You are just

:19:26.:19:32.

16. You hold the Olympic title. You hold the world title. You hold the

:19:32.:19:37.

world record. Is there anything left for you to achieve? I think the main

:19:37.:19:42.

focus - the long-term goal is the Rio Olympics. Like I said, we're

:19:42.:19:49.

just taking it every year step by step. Yeah, my main focus is on the

:19:49.:19:55.

Olympics, yeah. Ruta Meilutyte and John Rudd, thank you very much.

:19:55.:19:59.

Congratulations. The whole of Plymouth and the whole of the

:19:59.:20:07.

south-west is very proud of you. Thank you. This is hard to believe.

:20:07.:20:10.

The new football season is only three days away and the current

:20:10.:20:13.

economic climate will certainly dictate how the four South West

:20:13.:20:16.

clubs will do. Over the next few nights we'll find how they're

:20:16.:20:19.

preparing for the season ahead starting with Exeter City and

:20:19.:20:22.

Torquay United in League Two. Spotlight's Dave Gibbins has been

:20:22.:20:30.

meet two club stalwarts. Julian Tagg is Mr Versatile. In his

:20:30.:20:33.

17 years at Exeter City, he's coached the youngsters, was a

:20:33.:20:36.

leading figure when the fans rescued City from the brink of extinction,

:20:36.:20:39.

became vice-chairman and is now Chief Executive. The situation at St

:20:39.:20:43.

James' Park is simple: there's no money to spend. So how does that fit

:20:43.:20:46.

in with their new season plans? Well, it's nice to report we're

:20:46.:20:50.

probably the richest club in the country. Look at me, nonplussed. I

:20:50.:20:53.

am not surprised by the criteria of the richest clubs of the country -

:20:53.:20:58.

it's because we don't owe anything. In the same breath you could say

:20:58.:21:01.

we're probably the poorest club in the country because if something

:21:01.:21:05.

goes wrong - we had problems with the wall, unexpected finance, there

:21:05.:21:09.

is no backup. There is no bank overdraft. There is no chairman that

:21:09.:21:13.

is going to step in. There are no board of directors that are going to

:21:13.:21:19.

suddenly put in �4,000, 5,000, �10,000 each. Depending on the

:21:19.:21:23.

context you want to put it in, we're either the richest club in the

:21:23.:21:27.

country or the poorest. Dean Edwards is about to commence

:21:27.:21:31.

his eighth year at Torquay United. First as a player, now as Commercial

:21:31.:21:34.

Manager. He's a living legend at Plainmoor, becoming the first Devon

:21:34.:21:37.

footballer to score at Wembley back in 1989. Two years later, he scored

:21:37.:21:41.

again in United's next appearance at the national stadium. Now, he has a

:21:41.:21:44.

key role in making sure Torquay swell their budget, despite an

:21:44.:21:54.
:21:54.:21:55.

average gate last season of only 2,700. They only see what - what are

:21:55.:22:01.

the costs. For us, behind the scenes is all the day-to-day running,

:22:01.:22:05.

ordering paper and photocopiers and things like that. It's a massive

:22:05.:22:09.

amount of money that needs to be generated. I think without the

:22:09.:22:13.

commercial department, every club would struggle.

:22:13.:22:16.

Without the likes of Torquay and Exeter, football would be far beyond

:22:16.:22:26.
:22:26.:22:27.

the reach of the average supporter. In two places at once - the amazing

:22:27.:22:29.

Dave Gibbons. Tomorrow, Dave talks to Plymouth

:22:29.:22:39.

Argyle owner and chairman James Brent.

:22:39.:22:42.

Now, crowds have been flocking to the annual Yealmpton Agricultural

:22:42.:22:45.

Show in Devon today. Last year's show had to be cancelled because of

:22:45.:22:48.

the bad weather.but this year, despite a few showers, it was

:22:48.:22:51.

business as usual for the show organisers. Spotlight's Andy Breare

:22:51.:22:53.

reports. After last year's wash-out summer,

:22:53.:22:56.

it was full steam ahead this morning as the Yealmpton show got underway.

:22:56.:22:59.

It's held in the beautiful surroundings of the Kitley estate

:22:59.:23:02.

and attracts visitors and exhibitors from far and wide. It's just a

:23:02.:23:04.

lovely atmosphere. We're blessed with such a beautiful site. It's a

:23:04.:23:07.

natural amphitheatre, really. We try to use it to best advantage so that

:23:07.:23:11.

people have a good view and can see what's going on. There is quite a

:23:11.:23:16.

focal point with the main ring, but lots going on in other rings out and

:23:16.:23:19.

around. Someone who's a regular at the show

:23:19.:23:22.

is beef farmer Suzanne Harper from Holsworthy.and today, her cattle

:23:22.:23:26.

were proving to be rather popular with the judges. We have just taken

:23:26.:23:34.

first prize with our six-year-old cow. It's a lot of work. It's weeks

:23:34.:23:41.

of breaking and halter training because the -- they need to be

:23:41.:23:46.

bringing them out amongst the public in the show ring, then the grooming

:23:46.:23:49.

and the shampooing and the travelling and the feeding - yes,

:23:49.:23:53.

it's a lot of work, but we enjoy it. One of the things that's new at this

:23:53.:24:00.

year's show is the food and produce tent where some well-established

:24:00.:24:04.

Devon companies are exhibiting their war effects. All the bakers worked

:24:05.:24:08.

overnight to get everything here fresh. The cakes were made yesterday

:24:08.:24:12.

afternoon. Everything is fresh we sell. What would be your best seller

:24:12.:24:17.

today? It would be our ugly bun which has its own Twitter account

:24:17.:24:23.

and Facebook page. Sorry, this is bread with a Facebook account?

:24:23.:24:28.

it's a bun, actually. It has 750 followers. The weather may have been

:24:28.:24:32.

overcast today, but after last year's washout, everyone was pleased

:24:32.:24:38.

the Yealmpton AgriculturalShow was back in style.

:24:38.:24:42.

Good to see the weather wasn't too much of a problem for the show. It's

:24:42.:24:50.

tomorrow. Temperatures are really picking up. We could see the mid to

:24:51.:24:55.

high 20s for some tomorrow. It's a one-day-only offer. By Friday it

:24:55.:24:58.

feels much fresher again. Good evening to you. Yes, a very misty

:24:58.:25:01.

start to the day tomorrow for many of us, particularly in western areas

:25:01.:25:06.

of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Further to the south-east we should

:25:06.:25:08.

see warm sunshine and warmer temperatures through the day

:25:08.:25:12.

tomorrow. Let's start with a look at the satellite picture through the

:25:12.:25:15.

day. You can see the massive cloud that brought us showers through this

:25:16.:25:19.

morning and for much of the day today, moving further north through

:25:19.:25:22.

this evening. If we look at that on the chart, we've currently got rain

:25:22.:25:26.

for the Midlands, the north of the country and the north of Wales. For

:25:26.:25:30.

us, though, into tomorrow, we're fairly clear of weather fronts. Just

:25:30.:25:37.

keep an eye on this one to the west. Further to the east, we're clear of

:25:37.:25:41.

those weather fronts, so it's a drier day. We've got warm, humid air

:25:41.:25:44.

being drawn in from the continent through the day tomorrow. By Friday,

:25:45.:25:49.

though, that front has crossed us, bringing much fresher air and a

:25:50.:25:53.

mixture of sunshine and showers. This evening, you can take a closer

:25:53.:25:58.

look at those showers as as they move to the north-east. Tomorrow, a

:25:58.:26:02.

fair amount of cloud. A fair amount of low cloud, mist and fog over the

:26:02.:26:07.

moors and hills, some sea fog, particularly along the south coast.

:26:07.:26:11.

Fairly light winds to the east. Always breezier to the west and the

:26:11.:26:15.

Isles of Scilly. It's a warm, humid night to come. Temperatures holding

:26:15.:26:19.

up around 15-16 Celsius for most, so fairly tricky to sleep once again.

:26:19.:26:23.

As we start the day tomorrow, I think there will be a fair amount of

:26:23.:26:26.

cloud around at first. We hold onto that cloud in western areas. Further

:26:26.:26:30.

to the east, though, the sun does burn through and brings us a fairly

:26:30.:26:35.

nice day, and the temperatures will respond accordingly in those light

:26:35.:26:41.

winds. We could see for east Devon, Somerset, 20 Celsius. To the west,

:26:41.:26:45.

cooler than that, just down in the low 20s under the cloud. We could

:26:45.:26:49.

see a few breaks into the afternoon for the isles of silly. It's

:26:49.:26:54.

generally a fairly cloudy day with mist and fog at first. Looking at

:26:54.:27:04.
:27:04.:27:08.

Surf-wise, not too bad along the north shore. Here we're seeing 3-4

:27:08.:27:16.

feet, choppier further to the south. The winds south, south-west 4-6,

:27:16.:27:21.

occasional drizzle with fog patches, low visibility in fog patches.

:27:21.:27:25.
