Over the course of the morning the MET office issued a weather advisory for heavy rain from ten this morning until one tomorrow night. A separate heavy rain warning may be issued if the total rainfall is expected to be more than 50 millimetres in six hours.

Chairman of the Police Federation, Calum Bruce, stressed this further in the studio. Jose Mari Ruiz brought us the latest in sports, with both men’s and women’s football, the Special Olympics in Monaco, and Ironman 70.3 over in Tangier.And, tomorrow is Stroke Awareness Day - there are several symptoms that you can look out for which can make a difference for the patient.
