afternoon is pretty fast. there is the tail end of a better front to the tail end of a better front to the east that could give us a few showers this afternoon, another front trying to come into the north west, which will bring some transient showers into western scotland. overall, a lot of dry weather, a lot of brightness, and thanks to the sunshine, actually some pleasant warmth, temperatures up some pleasant warmth, temperatures up to 22 celsius in cardiff, a little above where we would anticipate for the time of year. this evening, perhaps a few showers grazing the far south east before clearing. this front moves south, but the rain associated with it fizzles away. a dry night, temperatures in double figures, perhaps mist and fog returning to southern areas in the morning. on tuesday, we push that front away to the east. it is breezy towards the far north west, but that should mean we break up the cloud a little more here and see more sunshine across scotland and northern
in tourist areas have declared this summer a bumper success, thanks to staycation . at bournemouth, in dorset, some hotel occupancy rates have been running at nearly 100% whilst in wiltshire, salisbury cathedral has had double the number of visitors as last summer. but nearly everyone in the tourist industry is worried what will happen next. duncan kennedy reports from bournemouth. from brighton to bournemouth, the south coast is just one area that has seen record numbers of tourists this summer. it has been so busy, even hotel managers like olivia o sullivan have had to help clean rooms. been full pretty much since we started, probably about 96% occupancy. is it sustainable? i don t know. once anything else opens up, i don t know if people will come back to the uk. but it s notjust beach resorts. here at salisbury cathedral, city break seekers have also been flocking in. has staycation saved the day for the cathedral? it has certainly made a huge difference. we are seeing

worker shortages caused by a perfect storm of issues including brexit changes and the pandemic, could threaten availability at christmas. the government is facing growing calls for a temporary visa scheme to try to fill the gap. our business correspondent katy austin reports. preparing these turkeys for christmas involves 100 extra workers who used to come in from eastern europe. because of brexit, we don t have that guaranteed labour that we ve had for the past 30 years. the bigger companies that supply all the supermarkets, they had made the decision to cut their production by between 20% and 25%, which is huge. so, there will absolutely be a shortage of quality british turkeys. other areas of food production are also having problems. a shortage of meat processors has caused a backlog of pigs on farms. the government is basically saying that furlough is coming to an end at the end of september, so you can have all of those people and that will resolve your issues. now, thos
