degrees. Thursday, more of the same. Is that is all from us. Now on BBC | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
One Nurses and cleaners are | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
among the workers at the Royal Cornwall Hospital who'll pay up to | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
eight times more than they do now. Extremely angry. Very angry. It is | :00:20. | :00:37. | |
not fair and they should think about the star. We do very hard work and | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
we are not rewarded at all. Under fire, Plymouth City Council is | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
criticised for paying what's seen Some temporary managers are being | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
paid as much as ?800 a day. That is shocking. That is | :00:46. | :00:57. | |
disgusting. It is. That is just unbelievable. | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
The town of Looe hits back after being called brash and full | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
And the heartwarming tale of the woman who tracked | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Hundreds of hospital staff in Cornwall have signed a petition | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
complaining about a massive increase in their car parking charges. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Health workers at the Royal Cornwall Hospital will have to pay up to | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
eight times the current rate when the new charges start next month. | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Hospital unions say the increases are unfair and staff have now raised | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
a collective grievance against the hospital board. | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Spotlight's David George has this report. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Parking charges at hospitals have long been an irritation to patients | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
and visitors. Now staff at the Royal is a laugh furious about a price | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
hike that will mean some of them paying eight times the current cost. | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
Until now an annual staff parking pass was based on a level of | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
salary. From October the 1st that is set to change with the cost of a | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
pass going up for part`time workers from 30 to ?260 and foremost | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
full`time staff from between 60 and ?90 to ?330. Consultants will be | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
paying ?500 a year. Mine was going up from ?60 to ?330. I live close | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
but I start work at 5:30am. I will not do it now. I will get on my | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
bike. Far too much money. It could have been done on a work sacrifice | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
scheme or proportionally and that would have been fairer and staff | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
would have been more access to love it. Hundreds of staff have called on | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
the hospital staff to think again and have signed a position. New `` | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
unions say it is unfair and will cause real hardship. We made a | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
constructive proposal that will save the trust a lot of money and would | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
have allowed the lowest paid to have an affordable parking rate and it | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
was, play league pooh`poohed out of hand and we cannot understand the | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
attitude from the trust. The unions have made the matter a formal | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
grievance. In Plymouth staff parking charges at Derriford Hospital | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
doubled earlier this year. No one from the Royal Cornwall Hospitals | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Trust wanted to comment. A spokesman referred us to a previous statement | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
which said they were aware of the impact of the increases and that the | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
charges remain lower than those at other hospitals in the South West. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Now, how much do you think you should be paid each day? | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Well, Plymouth City Council is under fire tonight for paying some | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
In all ?11,000 a day is being spent on temporary managers. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
Lizzie has a new cafe on the Barbican at Plymouth. As she tries | :03:47. | :04:03. | |
to drum up trade, what is her response to the council paying these | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
figures? Oh, that would be lovely, wouldn't it? I cannot even afford to | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
pay myself at the moment, I have started a new business and it is a | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
really hard struggle. I am extremely tired and doing all of the hours | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
under the sun for absolutely nothing at the moment. Of 17 interim staff | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
on Plymouth Council books 15 get more than ?500 a day and to get more | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
than ?800. Let us do some calculations. The biggest amount | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
paid here is to the interim head of business and technical | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
architecture. They get ?840 a day. Imagine that is eight works out at | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
?105 an hour. The national minimum wage for adults is ?6 31 an hour. | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
That works out to be about ?50 a day day. The council insists it needs | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
temporary posts to provide extra capacity and | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
Plymouth taxpayers are not comment. That is disgusting. It is. It is | :05:12. | :05:21. | |
unbelievable. I work for ?6 50 an hour so that is wrong. Very wrong. | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
If they are adding value than that is great but if there is no real | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
value being added to that I do not see the need for someone to earn | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
that kind of money. I do a very skilled job and spent many years at | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
college but I do not get anywhere near that amount. The council said | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
the costs will reduce as expertise is passed onto existing colleagues | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
and permanent posts are filled. With some people in place for over a year | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
the question is how temporary are the temps? | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
The BBC has learnt that a man who stalked a Devon woman for | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
five years before stabbing her is to appeal to have his life sentence | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Joe Willis was convicted in April of attacking Helen Pearson | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
He also subjected her to a malicious campaign of harassment. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
The judge at the time said he should serve a minimum of 13 years. | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Ms Pearson told Spotlight that she wasn't going to let the appeal worry | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Newquay is pioneering a new project which allows | :06:14. | :06:25. | |
the police to alert people by email about crimes in their area. | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Seven police beats in the resort have adopted the Street Net scheme | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
so far, and 115 more streets are on the verge of joining up. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
The government has launched a badger vaccination scheme aimed at stopping | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
the spread of bovine TB beyond hotspots such as the south west. | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
DEFRA wants to create a buffer zone of healthy badgers in so`called edge | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
counties such as Cheshire, Oxfordshire and East Sussex. | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
Divers have been told not to go inside the warship HMS Scylla | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
which was sunk in Whitsand Bay off Cornwall ten years ago | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
The National Marine Aquarium says corrosion and storm damage | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
A solar farm covering an area equivalent to 60 football pitches is | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
It would be one of the largest solar farms in the region so far, but | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
people living in the nearby village of Aller are furious and claim it | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
Our Somerset Correspondent Clinton Rogers reports. | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
Pretty much as far as you can see out there was all underwater... On a | :07:27. | :07:35. | |
damp day here, memories of the winter flooding. The Greenfield to | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
the left... Virtually all this land, the heart of the Somerset Levels, | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
was under water for months. Now the people of Aller have a new battle, | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
against a developer who wants to put a giant solar farm here, the size of | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
60 football pitches. At this time I cannot believe the insensitivity of | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
the applicants but it is a commercial application and I | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
understand that they obviously are not looking at it from our point of | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
view, they are looking at it from a commercial point of view. I think it | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
is just shocking. We are supposed to be valuing the heritage our English | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
countryside but why would you want to put an industrial development in | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
a rural location? The company behind the plan is local. They employ 150 | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
people in Somerset and they have already built 20 solar farms across | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
the country. The boss says the latest project may be their biggest | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
but it will be well hidden. Aller, although it has an open plain, it | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
has got a very good opportunity to screen with the trees that are | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
proposed as part of the application so we are focusing hard on hiding | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
the site in the best way that we can. It will not be the first solar | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
farm on the Somerset Levels. This one covers 33 acres and it went | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
online in 2011. If the Aller application gets planning permission | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
it will be twice that size and generate enough electricity to power | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
5500 homes. It is a tremendously historic landscape down there. The | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
protesters argue that the price is too high in the damage that it will | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
do to a unique landscape. Businesses in a Cornish resort have | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
gone into battle over the way its Looe has been dubbed brash, full of | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
kiss`me`quick hats and a place you It's caused an outcry | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
like never before. Spotlight's John Danks has | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
the story. Here we are in lovely Looe. Welcome | :09:43. | :09:57. | |
everybody to this place. A big shout out for Looe, quite the | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
opposite of the comments made in the latest AA guide for Cornwall which | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
described the town as brash. The owners of this small hotel are not | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
happy. We were quite put out because we advertise with the AA and they | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
come round and judge us every year. They judge us and we have to fight | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
to keep our standards high. And then I was very disappointed to hear that | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
the same company could come and judge of town as beautiful as Looe | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
and basically is slated. Locals argue that the writer of the article | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
only focused on buckets and spades. I put the peace in the book up and | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
we had comments from all over the world saying that this is not the | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
Looe that I know and had they gone to Blackpool instead of Looe? | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Somebody even commented that perhaps they should go to a well`known | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
opticians and get their glasses changed. At least one Looe resident | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
thought the AA guide was right. I think it is very accurate and I | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
think a lot of people find it a hard pill to swallow but of recent years | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
it is quite true that it is the way the town has gone. We are full now | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
of bucket and spade shops and equality shops have disappeared. | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
Tourism leaders here want the AA to set the record straight. They say no | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
mention was made of the historic fishing port or of the traditional | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
backplanes. The AA has apologised for any offensive may have caused. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
In a statement they say the section on Looe highlights the array of | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
great prices to visit but with hindsight we agree that the only | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
could have been worded more sensitively and we will now be | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
working with the author to reword the introduction and that will | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
appear in the next edition of the travel guide. | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
What do you think of that description of Looe? | :11:47. | :11:48. | |

Answering the call of nature has saved an historic farmhouse together | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
with a herd of cattle from being destroyed by fire! | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue have confirmed they're not | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
investigating the blaze which is thought to have been started | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
by stray sparks from a brazier at Palmers Farm near Wellington. | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
From there Leigh Rundle sent this report. | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
This winter's hay store up in smoke. This family has farmed here for 500 | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
years and seen a lot worse. They are focusing on the positive. We came | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
out around to find the sheds on fire and my first concern was for the | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
calves so I looked in the shed and they were huddled in the corner. I | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
managed to get my father and my wife and my mum and my brother and we all | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
managed to drive the animals out. I was dousing their shared down to try | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
and stop it catching to the old buildings that are 500 years old | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
over in the corner. The alarm was raised by Jamie's mum. She was | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
answering a call of nature in the middle of the night and she heard | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
popping from the asbestos popping and then she saw the flames outside | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
a man around and got everyone up. Initially the firefighting operation | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
was far from straightforward. There were a number of risks involved. It | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
was suspected we had our settling cylinders and the asbestos roof and | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
we also had a 500 gallon tank of diesel rupture. Bloom across the | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
river the impact of any pollution and there have been no reports of | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
dead fish. For other creatures things are also looking up. This dog | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
has been made homeless by the fire and he gets a rare opportunity to | :13:48. | :13:48. | |
sleep indoors. In a little over two weeks' time | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
people north of the border will be asked whether Scotland should be | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
an independent country. Despite the vote being exclusively | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
for people living in Scotland, there could be consequences for the South | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
West and especially for Cornwall. Spotlight's John Henderson | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
has been investigating. It is a long way from the tip of | :14:03. | :14:16. | |
Cornwall to the end of mainland Scotland, but figuratively speaking | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
at least the two places are quite close. They share Celtic roots, | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
their own languages, traditions, culture and history. This festival | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
in Padstow is the perfect example of Cornish nurse. North of the border | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Scottish nurses on test over whether the country should become | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
independent. Alex Salmond and Alistair Darling trading blows ahead | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
of the vote on September 18, a historic date. Arguably its history | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
that has made the people they are and Cornwall the place it is and for | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
many that geopolitics starts here on the River Tamar. In 936 that river | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
was fixed the boundary. Four years ago this man was instrumental in | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
mobilising this protest on the Saltash river bank. That was about a | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
possible parliamentary constituency straddling Devon and Cornwall. Devon | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
Wall went away but he thinks the upshot of the Scottish referendum | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
debate will be lasting and profound. I think whether Scotland goes yes or | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
no, when the dust settles a bit people will start asking about | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
devolution in all sorts of areas and Cornwall will be very much near the | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
top of that list. The leader of the Cornish nationalist party also | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
believe that whatever happens in Scotland will enhance the case for | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
devolution in Cornwall. For him it will help rebalance the union, not | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
as some fear, fracture it. At the moment the United Kingdom is broken, | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
the idea you can have London and the south`east totally overheating and | :15:59. | :16:14. | |
sucking life and money out of the rest of the country, if that is good | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
then people have got their priorities wrong and we need to | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
rebalance the United Kingdom with more power to places like Cornwall | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
and Wales and actually make sure that things are equal as much as | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
possible. It is difficult to get a sense of perspective when applying | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
what Scottish independence might mean to Cornwall. Scotland is a | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
nation of millions with oil money to take it forward and Cornwall is the | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
UK's worst performing region with half a million people. Its | :16:32. | :16:32. | |
traditional industries have struggled. Fishing is not what it | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
was. If Scotland votes to go it alone and then tries to join the U | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
the MP in the area says there could be a chance to revive Cornish | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
fishing fortunes. The Scots have always been given a disproportionate | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
benefit out of the quota allocation of the United Kingdom so we could | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
have our fish back and I think there is a good opportunity for not just | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
Cornish fishermen but other parts of the country as well and they can say | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
that they want a larger Coit. The end is near when it comes to the | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
question of Scottish independence. It could provide an answer to wear | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
next four Cornwall. A lot of you have been getting | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
in touch about our story on Looe being described as brash | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
and full of kiss`me`quick hats. Jane Morgan says the description | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
sounds more like Newquay! Brian Lewis says, Looe, great beach, | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
gorgeous walks, fantastic Steve Napier says he's been visiting | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
Looe for 40 years and the guide must have mixed it up | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
with somewhere else. But John Debenham commented, | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
have you ever tried taking And Kevin Raddy says | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
Looe deserves this kick up the backside. He says it's | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
naturally one of the most beautiful towns in Cornwall but poor | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
decisions have blighted the town. Thank you for your comments. | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
Please keep them coming. Another comment says that the | :17:49. | :18:02. | |
comments by the AA were Looe ludicrous. | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
A series of works to protect Lyme Regis from | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
the destructive power of the sea has been going on for decades but one | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
Nick Browning took his first pay cheque In the 1980s. | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
Our Dorset reporter Simon Clemison looks at what the scheme means | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
for the coastal town by retracing the footsteps of the civil engineer | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
He has brought sand, he has brought rock, he has brought shingle, he has | :18:20. | :18:35. | |
brought concrete. Not single`handed but over time, a long time. As long | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
as the project to shield this part of Dorset from the elements has been | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
going, and that is since the 1980s. Colleagues have join and left but | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
Nick Browning is one of the original civil engineers and he has remained | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
a constant. The sea walls he oversaw in the early years are now older | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
than some of the workmen on site. Did you ever think it would be you | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
here in 2014? I did not think it would be me. We started off in 1989I | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
think with some proposed offshore breakwaters and they were not | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
popular amongst the local people so since then we have been working with | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
local experts and the town council so it is very satisfying to see it | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
coming to an end. The latest phase which is almost complete was the | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
building of a new sea wall to the east of Lyme Regis which was tight | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
eating away at the bottom of the cliff and creating landslips that | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
take houses with them. This is a 7000 year old landslide | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
that we are standing on and you have stopped it going any further. It is | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
a natured mudslide and to the left has been reactive I'd `` reactivated | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
by coastal erosion `` erosion chipping away at it so we have put a | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
big line of piles down through here and the big roach to the right with | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
housing and the main road into the town on it with pipes and services, | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
that area is now stabilised. West Dorset County Council have | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
spent more than ?90 million on the latest stage. It should have a shelf | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
life of 50 years. As for the shelf life of Nick? There is phase five to | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
go, you are in your 60s, Willi Evseev phase five through? No, | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
probably not. At the moment we are asking for the coast protection | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
parts of that to be put into the Environment Agency programme. A | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
quarter of the century is enough, is it? I think so, yes. Time to enjoy | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
his sea defences may be, and sea defences can be enjoyed. | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
Two sisters, one from Exeter, the other from Poland, | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
have finally found each other after spending a lifetime apart, thanks to | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
the British Red Cross International Family Tracing Service. | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
Bozenca Pearson always knew she had a half sister in Eastern Europe from | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
He'd lost touch with his first wife and daughter | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
after they were separated during the Second World War. | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
Spotlight's John Ayres takes up the story. | :21:05. | :21:14. | |
Five years ago Bozenca contacted the British Red Cross to try and find | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
out details about her half sister. Before the war her father lived in | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
Poland with his first wife and his baby daughter Danuta. When the | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Russians invaded he was arrested and sent to prison. He joined the Polish | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
second core Army when he was freed and he demobbed in 1946 and was in | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
London but he could not find his family. He made numerous attempts to | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
try and get in touch with his family in Poland who he had left behind. He | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
went through the Red Cross, all sorts of Polish organisations, but | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
there was absolutely no trace of them and this was 1946 so this went | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
on until about 1949 by which time he had met my mother. He married ten | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
macro one's mother and they had two daughters. Information was hard to | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
come by after the Second World War and even harder after the Iron | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
curtain came down. Both of her parents have passed away now but | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
with the help of the Red Cross Bozenca went in search of her | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
father's records and details of her half sister and she got hold of | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
documents from the Ministry of Defence. There on the back of one of | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
the forms was the name and the date of birth of my half sister and I | :22:34. | :22:43. | |
always knew I had a sister out there somewhere but to see it actually | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
written down by my father, it is in my father's handwriting. Bozenca's | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
name was now out there and the sister found and contacted her. | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
Until she heard from the Red Cross Danuta had no idea she had family in | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
England. It was so emotional, there were so much to talk about and the | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
first question I asked her what how did you survive? And she said, we | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
survived, we had to survive. It was an awful time. It is great for our | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
Inquirer because it just extends their family and they find that so | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
much more about their background and about where they came from and they | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
can continue that exploration. These state Bozenca and Danuta speak once | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
a week on the phone and the Internet. They have not yet met but | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
they hope to do so soon. That will be a great reunion. | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
An emotional moment. It is time for the weather forecast now and we here | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
it is OK. It is OK. It is not looking too bad. | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
I pressure is in charge so it is quiet but it is pinning down how | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
much clout we will get somewhere it will be. Some places are seeing | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
gorgeous sunshine and elsewhere there is a cloudy picture so it is | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
dependent on where you live. That will be the problem through tomorrow | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
as well but before I tell you about that let us have a look at some | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
scenes we saw earlier today. This is South Devon. There are cloudy skies | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
out there and this was one of the more unlucky spots for today. It was | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
not bad for sitting out there. The air was mild and the wind was gentle | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
so it was not feeling too bad, especially given that it is the | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
beginning of the autumn. I think over the coming days this is going | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
to be the challenge that the forecasters are facing, determining | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
exactly how much clout we will see. Tomorrow I think a bit of a great | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
start, perhaps with mist and low cloud around at first but it will | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
thin and break and we should see some warm and sunny spells coming | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
through. This is the satellite picture at the moment. The cloud is | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
fairly grey and low with no real rain bearing cloud around. This is a | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
rain bearing cloud out to the west and the weather system but it is | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
being kept at bay by the high`pressure overhead. That high | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
pressure remains in charge as we head through the next few days. I | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
think as we head towards the end of the week we will get more moisture | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
feeding in and that will probably increase those cloud amounts. If you | :25:22. | :25:42. | |
take a look at the night wears on. That could give mist and fog in | :25:43. | :25:55. | |
places. We start tomorrow on that mild note, a bit misty and murky for | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
some of us but it should lift and break. We should see sunny spells | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
coming through. I am a bit concerned that parts of the south coast could | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
see more low cloud and missed lingering at times through the day | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
but cross fingers it should break as well and hopefully we will get to | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
enjoy some sunny spells. Temperatures will respond nicely. | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
If we take a look at our forecast for the Isles of Scilly here there | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
is a similar story with variable cloud and sunny spells coming | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
through but staying dry throughout the day. It feels warmer when the | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
sunshine comes out. The best of the waves will be along | :26:35. | :26:52. | |
the north coast. The conditions will be clean. In the south coast the | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
weights will be small and conditions are messy or choppy. | :26:56. | :27:09. | |
Generally fair conditions but we could see a bit of missed reducing | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
visibility at times. The sea status light and perhaps moderate around | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
the headlands. In the coming few days there is uncertainty with cloud | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
around is `` amounts and Wednesday and Thursday could see the best of | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
the sunny spells and in the cloud will thicken. Hopefully still some | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
brightness to be found. Thank you very much. We put the | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
story about Looe on our Facebook page so have a look at some comments | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
that viewers are making about that. A lot of people defending Looe. We | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
will be back at 6:30pm tomorrow. Have a good evening. Good night. | :27:45. | :28:45. | |
