forces and protestors. That is all from BBC News. It is goodbye from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
me. The earth moves in North Devon, a | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
quake measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale was felt across large parts of | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
the region. Good evening. Experts say it was one of the biggest quakes | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
in the south`west in recent years, people have been describing how | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
houses shook for several seconds. Everybody just looked around at each | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
other as if to say, what on earth was that? Lots of frowning going | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
on. It was like something strange had happened rather than anybody | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
being scared or panicked. Hello, also tonight: wide ranging cuts to | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
services across Devon ` feelings run high as councillors agree to | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
millions of pounds in savings. And the daily struggle to earn a living | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
` now there's help for fishermen who are counting the cost of the storms. | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
If the boat doesn't go to sea, the crew don't get paid. It it is | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
simple. Houses shook, windows rattled and | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
some people reported objects falling over and breaking. An earthquake | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
measuring 4.1 on the Richter hit the North Devon coast at lunchtime | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
today. Experts say it was centred in the Bristol Channel but its effects | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
were felt over large parts of the region and as far as Exmouth on the | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
South coast. Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
reports from North Devon where the tremor was most noticeable. | :01:33. | :01:42. | |
The 4.1 magnitude earthquake which affected North Devon and parts of | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
South Wales was recorded at the heartland of North Devon the British | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
jeweller to call survey. On paper it looks impressive but on the ground, | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
it seems to have passed unnoticed by many. My husband got a text message, | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
and said to us, have you felt the earthquake? And we didn't, not at | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
all. We are at the top of the highest building in Barnstaple, the | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Civic Centre. The higher you go up the building, the hot more likely | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
you are to feel the effects. Talking to people today, they had a strong | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
sense of this earthquake. Chief Executive of the Council is the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
third floor of the building and says he noticed the earthquake. We were | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
suddenly aware of the building shaking. It was quite noticeable, we | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
are here on the third floor. We've got quite a significant shake. | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
Further up the building, as you get higher, they felt it more than we | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
did. Other buildings nearby also got the effects of the quake. All of a | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
sudden there was a very loud thud. It felt more of a side then sounded | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
like one. Everybody just looked around at each other as if to say, | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
what on earth was that? Lots of frowning going on. It is like | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
something strange it happened rather than anybody being scared or | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
panicked. Experts have been analysing what happened this | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
afternoon at exactly 1:21pm. This is what we might call a moderate | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
earthquake. We get an earthquake of this size roughly every three years | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
or so somewhere in the UK. We are no strangers to earthquakes of this | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
size. We have many bigger than this. There was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
in Lincoln in 2008. The weather has dominated conversations recently but | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
tonight, commuters had the new topic to discuss. The North Devon | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
earthquake. And Adrian can join us now live from | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
Barnstaple. Yes, here it is a topic of conversation. We came to the | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
building here, the top of the building, people tended to feel this | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
event much more than people further down. People are talking about it on | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
the streets, talking about how strong it was. To put it into | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
context, you have to remember that there were nine of these events | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
around the globe in the last 24. So it's not like one of those big | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
earthquakes you hear about on the news, but here it is very much the | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
topic of conversation. Thank you very much that. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
Wide`ranging cuts to public services across Devon are in prospect after | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
the County Council today approved ?27 million worth of budget | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
reductions. Day centres, residential care for older people, and youth | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
services are all expected to suffer. Our home affairs correspondent Simon | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Hall reports from Devon County Hall in Exeter. | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
These cuts have caused widespread concern. A demonstration against | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
those affecting the youth services greeted councillors at today's | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
budget meeting. Young people are relying on their services for | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
support about sexual health, domestic abuse, drugs and alcohol, | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
and many more. These services are valued and worthy of keeping. More | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
services like this Day Centre are coming from charities, the private | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
sector and community money as council provision shrinks in the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
face of budget cuts. There is a they can be more efficient and effective. | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
It does everything. I don't know what I would do without it. I look | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
forward to it every week, I really do. Well, the company, and being | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
able to use your brain instead of just sitting indoors moping about. | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
Because we're not County Council and we are an independent charity, we | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
can react and tailor our services to meet the exact needs, sometimes at | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
short notice. Devon and Cornwall police have reorganised the way they | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
work after suffering severe cuts. Crime has been falling and some | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
analysts believe the cuts may have forced the public sector to be more | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
efficient. I think there were considerable inefficiencies in the | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
public sector, so government cuts have forced a rethink. Local | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
authorities, the fire brigade, police, NHS, all having to rethink | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
how they do things. More new ways of doing things and services being | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
provided outside of Devon County Council may now be required as the | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Council approved millions of pounds of budget cuts. It is worrying for | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
the people of Devon. But really, we had no choice. The trouble is not | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
this year, it is next year and the year after. We would not be able to | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
have anything but what is mandatory in the way of services to people. | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
Perhaps this model, with a community group taking over the library and | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
day care being provided by a charity, may become the way of the | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
future. The narrative of austerity and budget cutbacks will not end | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
here, even with a general election coming next year. None of the three | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
main political parties are talking about increases in public spending. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
The Fishermen's Mission has launched a new appeal to provide financial | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
help for crews and their families, who've been struggling to earn a | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
living. Some fishermen based in storm hit coastal communities have | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
only been able to put to sea for five days this year. Spotlight's | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
Heidi Davey reports. For many fishermen, the last two months have | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
been incredibly pickled. The severe storms have can find most boats to | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
port. There has been no money to pay the crew. This boat fishes mainly on | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
the bottom for white fish such as cod and Pollock. Her crew have only | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
been the sea for a few days. I left school at 14 to go fishing and this | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
is probably the worst winter the continuous weather I can remember. | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
It's been tough. I have kids, a mortgage, there are usually a few | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
days you can mess and it isn't too much of a financial dense but now we | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
have it for about seven weeks, it is a long cold winter. That is where | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
the mission steps in. Since it launched a national appeal, | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
seafarers UK has committed ?15,000 and within 24 hours, 10,000 have | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
already been distributed. Here in the south`west, there has been an | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
unprecedented demand for help. Fishing communities are struggling | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
to get back on their feet. They are depressed, they depend on being able | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
to get to see because that is where their money comes from. Fisher men | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
are proud and they will get a family and friends first and get help from | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
them. On those channels cry up, then they have to turn to other peoples | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
`` when those channels cry up. So I'm quite sure, we will be seeing | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
more more people coming. Donations are coming in from all over the | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
country, with emergency grants of up to ?500 being made immediately | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
available to help those who are struggling. | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
Estate agents in the Southwest say this January was one of the busiest | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
for house sales in seven years. Many say business is booming and there is | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
little sign that the recent bad weather put off prospective buyers. | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
Ali Chitty reports. The ideal time for house selling is meant to be | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
spring and summer so the current boom may seem a surprising one. It | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
seems every time you turn on the news, the south`west is the last | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
place you would want to live. There is flooding in Somerset, homes are | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
evacuated. There is trouble on the railway lines and there is the power | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
of the Sea damaging property. It all looks like a stairway to property | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
sell disaster. But quick to one agent, business is booming. It is | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
the best January I have known since 2007. We have a lot of people | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
looking, a lot of interest in the market. Which is remarkable given | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
the weather we have had. This Plymouth property is for sale in the | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
?1 million plus bracket. In Plymouth and part of social Cornwall, prices | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
have traditionally been lower. Sellers can now expect more from | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
their investment. Being realistic, we always thought there would be a | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
hypermobility thereby would come from outside the region and what we | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
have seen in the last couple of weeks has been encouraging, with the | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
upturn in house prices and also the level of interest that estate agents | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
have been telling us we have been receiving. There is also a downside | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
to these property sales. Price rises have gone up by 8% on this period | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
last year but that means that nationally, your income would've had | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
to have increased by ?29,000 to have up. Here, it would have been ?22,000 | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
which means you are not already on the property ladder then the picture | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
looks bleak. Prices are expected to continue to grow this year, | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
increasing the gap between income and affordability. This year's boom | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
could be next year's crisis. We'll have more on the aftermath of | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
the extreme weather later in the programme. Find out where John | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
Henderson's is in his tour of the region's storm damaged communities. | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
Plus celebrating the volunteers who give up hours of their time to | :12:16. | :12:27. | |
support the North Devon Hospice. The annual sale of Dartmoor ponies | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
at Tavistock has been a traditional event for centuries. Now though, | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
it's coming to an end. The town's livestock market has taken the | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
decision not to hold the sale in October because it's no longer | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
financially viable. A tradition which has been taking place on | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
Dartmoor for hundreds of years but in recent times, the annual pony | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
sale has been losing money rather than making it. Lastly, only 14 | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
goals were sold out of nearly 100. It is a big decision, and it is not | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
what we have come to easily. It is said that history is finished in | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
terms of ponies in the market. Farmers like Phil are allowed to | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
keep a certain number of ponies. Those that can't be returned are | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
sold at Tavistock. His family have done this for generations but with | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
this news, he feels it might be time to stop keeping them altogether. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
There is no money in them at all. The reason we're keeping them, my | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
dad had them and his dad had a few, as soon as these are gone, we have | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
to seriously think about getting them to a more manageable number or | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
losing them altogether. Eight years ago, farmers like Phil were getting | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
around ?75 each for false like this. Lastly, he only got ?10 each for the | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
two resold. Charlotte has spent her lifetime trying to save the Dartmoor | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
fuel pony. Every year hundreds are slaughtered because there is no | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
market for them. She fears the loss of the sale will be to fewer ponies | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
on the moor. It is devastating. I think pony herders themselves are | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
wondering, where will it go from here? It is part of our heritage. We | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
used to be a marketing virtually every big town, we were down to two | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
and now we are down to one. This side of the moor is no way of | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
getting those ponies any more. She is still waiting to see if the last | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
remaining sale will take place this year. | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
The Hospice in North Devon says it couldn't survive without its | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
volunteers. There are around 130 paid staff, but more than 500 | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
volunteers who do a wide range of jobs. The North Devon Hospice is | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
celebrating its 30th birthday and one of its major themes for the year | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
is thanking the people who do so much to help make it work. In the | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
fourth of her series, our North Devon reporter, Andrea Ormsby, looks | :15:05. | :15:14. | |
at the work of one volunteer. This man retired ten years ago. He had | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
been the lorry driver and now he is driving again, as a volunteer for | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
North Devon Hospice. It certainly helps me with my retirement. He | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
drives patients to and from home for outpatient visits. I spend a lot of | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
time with the patients in the car, and also in the hospice. There is no | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
end of subjects that we talk about. Whether it is to do with politics, | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
the weather, or our own families, really. We really become a part of | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
their families. To begin with, he was worried they wouldn't cope. | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
Occasionally it is depressing but you must accept that as part of the | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
job. It's just great pleasure to be able to help somebody through their | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
illness and one of the greatest joys I find doing this job is just | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
hearing that people laugh when they are in the daycare unit. When you | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
hear them laughing so much, you know that what you're doing is right. | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
Meeting people who have honed their skills of what quality`of`life they | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
have left, it teaches you a lot. I can see the change in philosophy of | :16:37. | :16:45. | |
life. Cyril doesn't just drive for the hospice, he is one available in | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
tears who do gardening. I know the gardening gives a lot of fish to our | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
patients, on a nice sunny day like today, they can seal the flowers `` | :16:58. | :17:08. | |
see all the flowers. Smell the pollen. Sometimes we get bees, | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
butterflies. It also gives them a great pleasure. The pleasure I get | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
in gardening obviously gives the patient is much pleasure as I get. | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
In this 30th birthday year, there is a big thank you to everyone who does | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
so much to help. Our theme for 30th anniversary is thanks to you. A | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
plethora of our community, the staff, it is a big chance to say | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
thanks to all our volunteers. Without them, we wouldn't be able to | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
operate. Sometimes I feel a bit selfish mind doing it because it's | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
helping me as much as it's helping the patients. Because I often say to | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
my self, what would I be doing? I would be set at home, bored to | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
tears. Of all the jobs I have done, to find the best job I have done, I | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
don't get paid for, what can you say? It's great. The Cyril, the fear | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
of retirement has been replaced by the fulfilment of volunteering. | :18:13. | :18:22. | |
And tomorrow in the final part of her series, Andrea's been to meet a | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
family who were helped through the loss of a loved one, by the North | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
Devon Hospice. It was a big night for the | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
south`west at the BBC Radio two Folk Awards at the Royal Albert Hall last | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
night. Folk superband, The Full English, which features Seth | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
Lakeman, won Best Group and Best Album, while Devon's Phillip Henry | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
and Hannah Martin scooped the Award for best duo. | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
Phillip Henry, Hannah Martin and Seth Lakeman have all been regular | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
guests on John Govier's Saturday Show on BBC Radio Devon. Join him | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
for more live performances from local musicians this Saturday from | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
9am ` 1pm. Or listen on the BBC iPlayer. | :19:03. | :19:03. | |
Meanwhile, Plymouth musician Chris Wood has been amongst the winners at | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
the BRIT Awards last Night. His band Bastille won best UK breakthrough | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
act at the annual award ceremony. And you can catch up with him on | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
Saturday when he drums home his support for Plymouth Argyle by | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
making his debut as a guest in the commentary box, that's alongside BBC | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
Radio Devon's Gordon Sparks. Now our reporter John Henderson is | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
spending this week travelling the Spotlight region to see the impact | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
of the recent storms. Coastal communities from the far west of | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Cornwall through to Dorset suffered major damage following weeks of | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
extreme weather. John's journey started on Monday in Lamorna Cove. | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
Today he's moved from South Devon up to the village of Bucks Mills in | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
North Devon. It feels like a long way from anywhere but there moments | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
where this is the reason 40,000 people visit every year. This is | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
lovely. I understand you are going to show me something that isn't so | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
nice. Indeed. Now they would have a job getting onto the beach. The | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
grade two listed slipway has gone. Perfectly safe? The people in this | :20:19. | :20:26. | |
tiny community e`mail the BBC about the need to nominate the slipway and | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
the historic lime kilns after they were destroyed by storms. It has | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
been unprecedented in terms of the storm damage, but of course, it has | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
happened before and the community comes together as it has now and it | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
will get rebuilt. This is the beginning of the slipway commie | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
conceive of the storm damage has done over my shoulder. That wall is | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
looking pretty precarious. From the Heritage site to a holiday resort, | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
one equally affected by wild weather. Crazy golf at West Westwood | :21:02. | :21:15. | |
home is a crazy assault course. John Martin's nephew runs a tourist | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
attraction, quite when it will welcome back punters and putters St | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Clair. John has got enough to do pull string the differences outside | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
his own business, hammered by last week's wave. It will be back up and | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
running, it is a mammoth task to get it ready. Easter we could probably | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
get the go`karts ready but the extreme crazy golf, as you call it, | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
we don't know about that. For many communities in North Devon and | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
across the south`west, the race is on to bolster their damaged sea | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
defences before the next high tides in March. | :21:54. | :22:13. | |
A hundred years ago the humble pasty kept Cornish tin miners going | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
underground. These day they are a handy lunchtime feast and now they | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
are being used the feed the hundreds of people trying to fight the flood | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
waters in Somerset. More than 1,000 pasties have been sent from Cornwall | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
to Somerset ` branded as' Pasty Aid'. The idea was the brainwave of | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
a Cornish woman who now lives on the Somerset levels. At this bakery, | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
they are queueing for their lunch. The pasties here are popular with | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
the local people and visitors. But not all these pasties are being | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
bought and sold locally. Some of them are going up to Somerset as | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
Pasty Aid. This family run bakery is one of the number who have sent | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
pasties to the Somerset Levels, an area that has been under floodwater | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
four weeks. Not meals on wheels but breakfast in a basket. Do you want | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
your hot pasty? You are most welcome! Compliments of Sarah, bless | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
her heart! Thanks very much! Lovely job! Well done. Take care. This is | :23:16. | :23:25. | |
the woman who has made it all happen. Sarah comes from Cornwall | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
but now lives in Somerset. She rang pasty makers in Cornwall who are | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
more than happy to help. There is not much I can do out here, I am a | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
mum at home. I can make pasties and my friends are happy to make them. | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
It's really nice just to help people. Plus, we have had lots of | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
our own customers go on the strength of this, people phoning up and | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
saying, can I donate ?50 for as many pasties as that will buy? So we | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
ascended up more than the original 120. For the flood victims and those | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
trying to help them, these are more than much`needed warm food, they are | :24:12. | :24:21. | |
a gesture of goodwill from Cornwall. Time for the weather. | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
Before I give it a forecast, I'm just going to go back over how wet | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
the winter has been so far. This is more official statistics, it is now | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
officially the wettest winter ever, 683 millimetres of rain, the average | :24:42. | :24:53. | |
we have seen. The previous wet year, wet winter, I should say, was | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
1990. It's not as stormy as it has been, we have some sunshine every | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
now and then. Tomorrow is a day when we are going to get a mixture of | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
both, some showers, it'll be breezy and every now and then, the sunshine | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
will shine. For the weekend, more uncertainty and more unsettled, more | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
persistent rain, but most of the activity is towards the North`West | :25:22. | :25:30. | |
of us. One line of showers, perhaps more persistent rain, will trickle | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
through the English Channel overnight tomorrow and into | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
Saturday. Then it is the next area of low pressure, which will arrive | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
on Sunday, although its eastward progress will be erratic. Notice the | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
ice bars are starting to get more tightly packed. Gale force winds on | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
Sunday. The breeze is blowing in a pew showers, that will continue | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
overnight, forming lines for a time. But they do become more isolated and | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
hopefully we will get some clear spells. When that happens, we'll see | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
temperatures tumble away. The showers we have now have been quite | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
lively. Once they died down, lengthy clear spells will develop and | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
turning quite cold overnight. Temperatures cold enough for a touch | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
of Frost. Most likely in sheltered inland areas. For tomorrow, showers | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
are always not far away, but they will be some sunny spells in between | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
those showers, even though they come along every now and then, there is a | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
chance of some dry weather for all of us. Breezy and colder of today. | :26:47. | :26:54. | |
`` than today. For the Isles of Scilly: | :26:55. | :27:17. | |
the wind direction, West or south`westerly. Should be a fine day | :27:18. | :27:28. | |
on Saturday, clouding over, more wet weather, becoming increasingly windy | :27:29. | :27:29. | |
on Sunday. I am back in the late news at | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
10:25pm. Good evening. | :27:37. | :27:39. |
