The evacuation process. It wasnt easy, first Off. There was a lot Of different variables, a lot Of different factors that came into that decision. One Of them was financial. Really dont know if we can come back or not. You know, if the Storm Hits really bad, you know, our area might be fine, but the pathway back down the home might not be. And to risk not having that cheque every week that we, you know, depend on, could just be a major issue down the line as well. Some people would think that maybe thats just the wrong way Of thinking, but its really hard to leave everything behind, pack everything up, take, you know, yourfamily, your friends, animals and just trying to, you know, go wherever is safe.

Particularly across Western Areas, so its murky as well. A few spots of drizzle, some mist and hill fog patches around too. The worst of it, really, for northern ireland, western scotland, wales and the south west. Now, during this evening, well see rain pushing back into scotland and, if anything, it will turn murky across the pennines and also the hills of southern england but again, well see some low clouds, mist and fog patches around. Its a night where its going to be pretty mild temperatures by the end of the night, for most, in a range of eight to 11 degrees celsius, which for many of us is warmer than it should be during the daytime at this time of the year. And that mild feed of air continues around the western edge of this High Pressure on into saturday with weatherfronts across the north west.
