On the eve of the firefighters' strike a warning that some response | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
times could be slower. Good evening welcome to Spotlight. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
We'll hear from the Fire Brigades' Union about the reasons for | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
tomorrow's strike as fire chiefs appeal for the public's help. Check | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
your smoke detector. Make sure you know how to get out in the event of | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
a fire and take special care what your out and about. | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
Also tonight: Two people from Devon held captive by Russian security | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
guards contact home to say they're safe. Greenpeace activist Alex | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Harris and engineer Iain Rodgers are on board a ship, accused of piracy. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
And a surge in rescues for the RNLI after a summer of warm weather. | :00:58. | :01:10. | |
Fire Services across the south west have warned of slower responses to | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
emergency calls tomorrow as firefighters take strike action. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Senior officers have appealed for public help in trying to reduce the | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
number of calls they receive. Cornwall Fire Service has warned it | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
won't respond to automated alarms from businesses, and other | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
nonessential calls. Devon and Somerset have asked people | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
to check smoke detectors, and be aware of escape routes from | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
buildings. Dorset Fire Service says it'll be giving a lower priority to | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
calls where there's no risk to life. Our home affairs correspondent Simon | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Hall reports. The region's Fire Services have | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
spent weeks learning how to deal with emergencies like this one | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
here, during tomorrow's strike. Firefighters will walk out between | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
noon and 5pm. The majority of the Cornwall Fire | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
Service's firefighters are not —— are on call, so they are not in the | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
union, so they will be able to work. The ball should dial 999, we will | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
send a fire engine. A pool of nonunion staff will be on | :02:16. | :02:26. | |
stand—by by. They will prioritise life—threatening incidents, but | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
warned that response times one —— may be slower than usual. | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
Clearly this is not business as usual. We need the public to help | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
us. We want people to test their smoke alarms and make sure that they | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
know how to get out of any building in the event of a fire, and to take | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
care on the roads. Some businesses that fear that they | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
are more at risk of fire, like this cafe, have concerns about the | :03:00. | :03:00. | |
firefighters strike. We have the firefighting equipment | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
here, but the first thing will be to get everyone out and, if we can, | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
fight the fire, but it would depend on the severity of the fire. We do | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
not want but anyone at risk. The strike is about changes to | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
peoples pensions, meaning that many will have to work until they are 60, | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
and has been criticised by the government. | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
We are not doing this because we want to, we are doing this because | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
we have no other option. Nobody wants to go on strike. Firefighters | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
do this job because they love it, and they are left with no option | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
than to try and protect public and firefighters for the future. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Firefighting services have appealed for public's help by —— for reducing | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
the number of calls that they receive, by driving carefully. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
It will be the first strike for the Fire Services since the strike ten | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
years ago. The union describes it as a warning shot, but says that more | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
strikes may follow. The families of a Devon man and | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
woman still being detained by Russian security guards in the | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Arctic say they've both been in touch to say they're OK. Alex Harris | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
from Dolton and Iain Rogers, from Exeter are among a group of | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
Greenpeace activists being held on board their ship. But the families | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
are concerned some activists could face piracy charges punishable by up | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
to 15 years in prison. Spotlight's Janine Jansen reports. The | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
Greenpeace ship, the Arctic Sunshine finally arrived today. It is the | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
sixth day but it has been detained by Russian parities. Last week, to | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
Greenpeace activists climbed onto and off shore oil platform in | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
protest. Iain Rogers and Alex Harris both come from Devon. They were on | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
board the ship, but say they did not scaled the oil platform. Today, | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
there were finally allowed a phone call home. Ian's of the suit says | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
that she has been sick with worry. —— mother Sue. | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
I am worried that they might be charged with piracy which carries a | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
jail sentence. The Russian equivalent of the FBI | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
said: TRANSLATION: When a foreign ship full of technical equipment and | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
a group of people calling themselves environmental activists storm and | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
oil rig, there are legitimate worries about their purpose. | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
The Foreign Office said that six British nationals were currently | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
being detained by authorities. We have met them and offered them | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
consular assistance. The family of Alex Harris live in | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
the area. They say that they —— she has been hailed a hero after | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
barricading herself into the radio room to send an SOS message. | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
Greenpeace deny piracy, saying it was a peaceful protest. | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
Taunton's Musgrove Park Hospital has become the first in the South West | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
and only the second in the country to be monitored under a new | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
inspection regime. The new method of monitoring was set up in the light | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
of well publicised failings at Stafford Hospital. Managers at | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
Musgrove say they're confident the inspectors will find good quality | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
care. Our Somerset reporter Clinton Rogers has been finding out what it | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
means. It is a big team of inspectors, but that is part of the | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
new regime designed to investigate poor and mediocre care. Managers at | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
the hospital say they are confident they won't find that here. | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
What if they look in dark corners? It is not about dark corners, it is | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
about identifying things that are better for our patients. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
So we really welcome it. And so it began. 30 inspectors from the Care | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
Quality Commission, doctors, nurses, ex—patients will spend the next two | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
days examining all aspects of the hospital. | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
Anything that you think you would like to say about your experience | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
here in terms of good or bad? I can only say the ward is very good. Have | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
you had to be admitted at a weekend? Yes? It is very different | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
if you are admitted on a Friday. They keep you going until Monday. | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
They have to have their time off. Doctor Nick Bishop is a radiologist. | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
He is also an inspector. He says the new regime concentrates more on | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
using current NHS staff and there are more of them to examine | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
hospitals in detail. By having a relatively short visit | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
of two days with a large number of people, we can spread ourselves out | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
across the organisation and get a good assessment of helpings are | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
delivered here. Ms is one of 18 hospitals being | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
inspected by the Care Quality Commission over the next two months. | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
Six of them are being categorised as being high—risk, six medium risk, | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
and six low risk. As most of it is the low risk category, they will | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
expect the inspection to go well. —— Musgrove. | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
This inspection will be followed by unannounced visit over the next two | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
weeks. A missing sailor from Dorset, whose | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
yacht was found off the northern coast of France, may have fallen | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
overboard, according to his sailing club. 62—year—old Jeff Cole from | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
Weymouth is believed to have set sail from the town early on Saturday | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
bound for Swanage, but never arrived. His yacht was found on | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Monday between Fecamp and Dieppe with no—one on board. Dorset Police | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
are investigating. Work has started on a new ambulance | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
operations centre for the south—west. The new building at | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
Exeter's Skypark will be the base for the Ambulance Service's | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
hazardous response teams. They will attend emergencies involving | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
flooding, chemical spills and search and rescue. The centre should be up | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
and running by next May. There was a big increase in the | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
number of rescues around our coasts this summer. Figures from the RNLI | :09:25. | :09:33. | |
reveal that lifeguards dealt with more than 10,000 incidents in the | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
South West, almost 25% more than last year. Lifeboats were also busy | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
with around 650 rescues. The charity says the warmer weather resulted in | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
one of their busiest seasons. John Danks reports. | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
Sunshine and Surf hits beaches this summer where they have been busiest | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
for years. That inevitably lead to people getting into trouble in the | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
waters around the coast. You need to ride the waves back in. | :09:55. | :10:05. | |
Rescues from riptides and people becoming trapped and injured on the | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
rocks were commonplace. He banged himself down the side when | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
his legs went out. If we weren't here, it could have been a different | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
story. Lifeguards dealt with more than ten | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
and a half thousand incidents this summer. Provisional records show | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
that lifeboats attended 652 reckon —— rescues. They attended many more | :10:28. | :10:37. | |
rescues than normal, with these stations among the busiest. In terms | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
of how we use the statistics, one of these things to do is to see how | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
Exeter has had a very busy summer. Along with the ties in the next year | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
or two, we will look at putting a new replacement lifeboat in. Dave | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
has been the coxswain of the Plymouth lifeboat for many years. He | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
has is home 's theory as to why the lifeboat had the most callouts in | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
the south—west. We are one of the biggest cities in | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
Britain with a lifeboat, and that brings all the issues it does. It is | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
a very big leisure industry, commercial industry. It is a very | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
varied job here in Plymouth. The charity has paid tribute to its | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
lifeguards as lifeguard volunteers for helping to save lives at sea. | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
Thanks for joining us this evening. Still ahead tonight: a full weather | :11:42. | :11:51. | |
forecast from David An England call up for Plymouth's Jon Rudd at the | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
Commonwealth Games. And, and we will try and find out | :11:54. | :12:03. | |
why the ancient Britons made this parents in the —— pavement in the | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
middle of Baltimore. A four—year—old boy's had what | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
police are calling a miraculous escape after releasing the handbrake | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
on his parents' car and rolling 60 metres downhill into a house. He was | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
left shaken but unhurt after the incident in Aylesbury Crescent in | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
Whitleigh in Plymouth. Alison Johns reports. | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
At 8:30am, the little boy's mother was dropping off her baby with | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
relatives and left her little boy in the car for a split second. He let | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
off the hands pay —— handbrake, the car moved down the road, clipped a | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
car and hit the wall of a house. The man who lived there was at work at | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
the time. I got a call from the council. I was | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
in the middle of doing my job and apparently a car had gone into my | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
house. I got here as quickly as I could and rang a structural | :13:08. | :13:08. | |
engineer. Since then, key has been inspecting | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
the damage. It is a mess. It is superficial and | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
the inside, but on the outside there is window damage and the wall has | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
caved in. It looks like it will have to be replaced. But fortunately I | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
can live in it for now. I am just glad that the young boy is OK. | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
Police say the car was left with a cracked bumper, headlights and wins | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
green. —— windscreen. The little boy's | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
family did not want to talk on camera, but say that he is OK after | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
his miraculous escape. Plymouth College's Director of | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
Swimming, Jon Rudd, has been appointed head coach for the England | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
swimming team for next year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Rudd | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
is also the head coach of Plymouth Leander Swimming Club and coached | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
Ruta Meilutyte to her Olympic and World Championship gold medals. Dave | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Gibbins is with us to discuss what it means for South West swimming. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Dave, this is fantastic news, isn't it? Yes, it is brilliant and well | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
deserved. After what he has achieved with the swimming club and the | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
college as well. Will this affect his coaching in | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
Plymouth? Only in the short—term. The Commonwealth Games is not on | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
yet, and it is only for a month. But it will be interesting to see how he | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
will be able to work without his golden girl Ruta Meilutyte, because | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
she swims for Lithuania. But he did have many races in the championships | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
in which Ruta Meilutyte won gold and silver. If he does well there, there | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
—— the only way is upwards. Do you think this is a stepping | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
stone towards the Olympics? I think they will come knocking on | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
his door if he does well with England. He will have the cream of | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
the crop with the swimming team. Many people think you should of been | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
teaching the team GB swimming team the Olympics. Athletes like Ben | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
Proud are the stars at the moment, he broke a swimming record this | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
year. And we cannot forget Anthony James who swims the 400 meter | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
butterfly. So that gold will be knocking from the British Olympic | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
team. An ancient pathway linking mystical | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
stone circles has been uncovered in Cornwall. Archaeologists, helped by | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
local people, have "rediscovered" the feature between two of the | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
"Hurlers" stone circles on Bodmin Moor. Before it was covered up | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
again, Spotlight's David George went to have a look. | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
The hurlers at Bodmin Moor. Some of these stones have been undisturbed | :16:01. | :16:10. | |
for 4000 years. The new fencing around the ditch of the | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
archaeologist's Digg looks incongruous. This path was a | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
rediscovery which was last seen decades ago when some of the stones | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
were put back up. Apart from those workers in 1938 and | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
the team that have been here this week, it is possible that the last | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
people to work on this pathway with the ancient Britons who built it | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
4000 years ago. We are looking at the tip of a very | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
large stone in a deep hole in the ground. I think it was placed here | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
to mark a fixed point in the ground, a point that is mapping somewhere —— | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
something in the sky. Astronomers who have been part of | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
the Digg team agree it may have been a way of predicting the seasons. | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
They did not know the sort of stuff we do, but they knew a huge amount. | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
This has been a community archaeology project. Local people | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
and enthusiasm are helping the experts. | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
I feel privileged to take part in a Digg like this. It is a rare | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
occurrence to be on a stone circle like this. | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
It is an amazing project. It gives me a tingle down the spine | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
every time I walk up here. There are 26 monuments, so it is | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
very important for the people who lived here. | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
It looks like I was the last person to walk on the pathway after showing | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
the site to thousands of visitors. Once the jigsaw grows together, it | :17:58. | :18:06. | |
will be protected and preserved. ?NEWLINE Earlier in the programme, | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
we heard what a busy summer it's been for the RNLI, but it's also | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
been a hectic time for a group of surf life—savers from north Devon. | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
The team from Saunton Sands Surf life—saving Club have just won the | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
European Inshore Rescue Championships, which took place this | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
weekend in Copenhagen. I'm joined now by two members of the winning | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
team — Colin Leaper and his daughter Ellie. Jan, if I can talk to | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
first. For those who don't know what's | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
involved in surf life—saving, what is? We are part of a family of clubs | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
and we start with youngsters at the age of five and they learn service | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
skills in the surf with boards and swimming and it leads to youngsters | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
like any taking beach lifeguards and ultimately going on to work for the | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
RNLI. At the Europeans, we were honing our skills with rescue boats. | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
What were the European Championships like? You want, that was fantastic! | :19:07. | :19:15. | |
Yes, it was brilliant for the club. Any only qualified three weeks | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
before the event, so she was brand—new to the discipline. But | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
there were 24 teams from seven countries. You can see here this was | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
the start of the racing. The teams run into the sea, start the engines | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
and then move off around two turning points as you can see. They have to | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
make a 360 turn and this is the patient to pick up. You can see them | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
coming in very quickly, grabbing the patient out of the water. It is very | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
undignified. Then they move back to the shore as quick as they can. It | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
is all about honing those skills when it is done in real life, this | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
is what it is all about. Ellie, you are new to it. How | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
difficult was it for your team to win. | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
It was very difficult. There are 24 teams and there are four | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
disciplines. We tested our skills to get the best results for the club. | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
Did you enjoy it? It was very fun. It is not bad to win the first | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
time. It is not just a sport, is it? No, this is the fun point that | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
we do. Jan was mentioning that we teach young children as small as | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
five years old, right up to people my age. It is literally ages seven | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
up to age 70 who can be involved. It is about teaching the vital skills | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
out in the sea. The water is the second biggest death case for | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
children, so we need to make children aware of the dangers of the | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
sea. It is very popular in the South | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
West? Yes, we have four clubs in North Devon. We have clubs in | :21:08. | :21:18. | |
Cornwall, and in St Ives. It is spreading even further. We have east | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
Anglia taking part and Wessex and down in Bournemouth. So yes, big | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
clubs, lots of activities. If people want to get involved, please contact | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
us and we will give them a good time on the beach. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
What is next your successful club? A week on Sunday is the British | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
Championships which were delayed from August bank holiday and we go | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
to South Devon for the British Championships in October. I will be | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
involved as well. Anyone can get involved. | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
Congratulations, and your championship. | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
Thank you for coming in. Yes, a superb achievements. | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
Plymouth has been playing host to thousands of science fiction fans | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
for a brand new sci—fi convention. The event was set up by the owners | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
of a comic book shop and, as Johnny Rutherford reports, it's hoped it | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
will become a regular event. This is a stand—off you probably | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
would not see in Hollywood. A Jedi Knight protecting himself from a | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
Predator warrior. The convention was full of sci—fi fans who were | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
catching up with actors from timeless classics like Star Wars. | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
People were asking me if there were any droids on board. I ordered a | :22:44. | :22:51. | |
scanning crew to come on board. That is the beginning of the escape from | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
the Death Start. The convention, cord Dev—Con 1, is | :22:58. | :23:10. | |
new to the area, and attracted many fans dressed up. | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
There has not really been anything like this in the south—west. We felt | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
that there was a gap in the market. If we do it again, it will problem | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
really —— probably be a long weekend, and perhaps we could have a | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
festival across the city. People seem to be enjoying | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
themselves, including a certain TV reporter. | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
That wasn't me. No, that frightens me. It is time | :23:39. | :23:56. | |
for the weather: It is not really an Indian summer, because that would | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
happen in October, but it has been quite warm. | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
We have had temperatures around 20 Celsius, which is warmer than usual | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
for this time of year. I think we will hold onto the ones, although it | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
will be misty overnight. There is a risk of showers, but the warmth will | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
stay with us through the day tomorrow. Out in the Atlantic, we | :24:21. | :24:30. | |
will have low pressure. This area of low pressure is stationary. It does | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
move around in the next few days. Every now and then, a spin off will | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
bring us some showers. We have seen some of those this evening. We will | :24:42. | :24:50. | |
see some more showers come in from that low treasure. It will move to | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
Spain and Portugal over the next few days and we will see some of the | :24:56. | :24:57. | |
thicker cloud, from the south—west. At the weekend, this line of showers | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
will produce the odd patch of rain, but it will Peter out overnight. | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
This was earlier today where our cameraman Keith was enjoying the | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
flavour of autumn. The leaves are starting to turn. With the | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
temperatures that you have at the moment, you don't need your jumper. | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
But some of the leaves are beginning to change colour. | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
We continue in the same vein. Some mist and some fog tonight. It will | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
be quite thick by the morning. There will be another start when the mist | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
and fog will be quite thick in places. Up at the M5, there could be | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
some mist. Overnight temperatures will be around 12 or 14 degrees. | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
Tomorrow morning, after the mist has lifted, we should some —— should | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
have some sunshine. Some of the mist will be quite slow to clear around | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
Dorset. There will also be some more rain. Another line of showers | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
creeping up throughout the afternoon will give us some more rain in the | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
south—west of Devon. The temperatures will be high again, | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
up to 20, possibly 21 degrees. Again, the winds will be fairly | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
light. There will be more of a southeasterly winds moving into | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
Thursday. As the Isles of Scilly, there will | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
be mixed weather. There will be some mist, some sunshine and a risk of | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
showers. Here are the tide times: And the | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
surf's has been wonderful today. It will be about four feet and | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
clean, with the sea temperature around 17 degrees. | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
That is the coastal forecast. There will be showers or fog patches, and | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
moderate visibility. Looking further ahead, there looks | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
like a drop in the temperatures on Thursday and Friday. There is a | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
small chance of a few showers ahead. It should be dry and Thursday and | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
Friday. There could be some overnight mist. But there will be a | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
fresh breeze and Friday, which will help lift the cloud. Some of the | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
rain on Saturday could be quite heavy. | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
Have a good evening. You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter. We will | :27:36. | :27:44. | |
be back tomorrow at 6:30pm. Goodbye. | :27:44. | :27:46. |
