Good afternoon. Large parts of the southwest continue to be on flood | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
alert today as yet another storm with winds of up to 70mph is | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
expected to arrive this afternoon and into the evening. The Somerset | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Levels where many residents have already been forced from their homes | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
remain at the highest risk of continued flooding. There are also | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
flood warnings in place for the coastline of Devon, Dorset and | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Cornwall. This report from Simon Clemison in Looe. | :00:30. | :00:39. | |
Still, what storm? The bins still need to be collected and Looe matter | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
what the weather. And getting to their place of work has been tricky | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
for the fishermen. Many have not been out all the port for weeks, | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
leaving gaps in the shelves. It is not only the flooding, but the | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
effects it has on work, income. People have mortgages to pay, staff | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
have mortgages to pay, no fish, no jobs, nothing. | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
Talk of winds gusting up to 70 mph is worrying even very close line | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
used to braving the elements. Those bumps on a normally smooth horizon | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
are waves. I've never known such a sustained | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
period of bad weather, and we're not getting the respite in between the | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
storms to effect permanent repairs. What we're doing at the moment is | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
all emergency response. For some, VCs are exciting and to be | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
enjoyed. And Simon Clemison joins us now. | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
Gardening. High tide has passed now in Looe, and hasn't been any | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
flooding. Those large waves which we saw, the sandbags have been in | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
place, people have been prepared but have been very lucky this time. It | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
really is a consistent weather, which is very unusual for Britain, | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
but consistently bad. A lot of people say they are keen to see the | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
end of it before it costs too much money. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Rail engineers in Dawlish have begun spraying concrete onto damaged | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
sections of the track and the cliff behind it to stop it deteriorating | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
any further. Network Rail has said the work to repair the line, which | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
was badly damaged in storms earlier this week, will cost about ?10 | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
million and take up to six weeks. And work's begun to shore up a | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
section of the historic clock tower in the Cornish village of Kingsand | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
which was damaged in the storms earlier this week. Engineers began | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
reinforcing a vulnerable corner of the building before first light this | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
morning to try to make it more stable. | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
Let's see just how bad the forecast is going to be ` here's Emily. | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
We still have some strong winds to come through the rest of the day. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Still an amber warning in force through this afternoon and | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
overnight. Gusts of perhaps up to 80 mph are possible, combined with | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
large winds, the risk of coastal flooding once again. You can get the | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
latest on the Environment Agency website. Some locally heavy showers | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
this afternoon, some hail and thunder mixed in, also. These are | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
the wind speeds in miles per hour. Temperatures reach a degrees. This | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
evening the winds become more westerly and that could impact | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
different parts of the coast, parts of the north coast, for example, | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
could have strong winds through the night. Still windy with gale`force | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
winds tomorrow, and still locally heavy showers. The winds eased | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
towards the end of tomorrow. On Monday, lighter winds and fewer | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
showers, by warning out for further wet weather on Tuesday. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
That's all for now, I'll be back with the next bulletin and any | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
weather updates for you just after 7pm this evening. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |

stormy day to day with heavy rain around and very strong winds. The | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Met office has issued an amber warning for the strong winds. They | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
could be disruptive and damaging. This is the latest in a string of | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
storms that we have seen this winter. For southern England, this | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
looks like one of the wettest winters for 250 years. Scotland saw | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
the wettest December 4/100 | :04:37. | :04:37. |
