00:00I'm recording this during the afternoon of Tuesday the 9th of December 2025 as

00:04Storm Bram batters the UK. Flights, ferries, rail services cancelled, thousands of

00:11homes without power, numerous roads blocked due to flooding and tree branches

00:16or trees down, all because of the combined impacts of rain and wind from

00:21Storm Bram. I'm going to be taking a look at the very latest from this storm and

00:26what we can expect during the rest of Tuesday as well as into Wednesday. Plus

00:31are there any more wild weather systems on the way during the next week or two?

00:37Welcome to the Met Office Deep Dive. We do these every Tuesday on our YouTube

00:41channel. They are in-depth looks at the UK's weather. If you're just wondering

00:48whether it will rain or not this might not be the video for you. Believe it or not we

00:52get comments like that all the time. I just wanted to find out if it's going to

00:56rain. We've got lots of shorter videos on our YouTube channel. This kind of video

01:01looks at the forecast in a much more analytical way. The whys and wherefores

01:07behind our weather. I'll certainly be looking at Storm Bram, the inner workings,

01:13a peek behind the curtain of the weather forecast this week. Plus some uncertain

01:19weather to come during the next few days, especially the weekend. But before we come

01:25on to what we're expecting, let's take a look at what's already happened with Storm Bram.

01:29This shows 24 hours worth of rainfall radar footage. It's going to start again now from

01:35Monday afternoon. Plenty of showers around, but then the main area of rain ahead of Storm

01:40Bram moved into the south on Monday evening. And you can see the brighter colours there

01:44indicating some very heavy rain indeed across much of Ireland into western parts of the UK.

01:49Wales, the southwest continuing to see heavy rain through the morning. But the worst of the wet

01:55weather is now easing away. And totals up to Tuesday morning, from Monday evening to Tuesday

02:02morning, easily have exceeded 80 millimetres across some of the wetter spots of South Wales.

02:08And Dartmoor, one site in Dartmoor, has seen more than 100 millimetres of rain. Now, sometimes

02:14when these values are quoted, they are compared with monthly averages, for example, the average

02:20rainfall we'd expect in Devon for December. But of course, that kind of analysis compares

02:27the wettest spots in, for example, Dartmoor with an average for December. And a much better way to

02:33look at it is, via a map provided to me by one of our Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Holley, a percentage

02:43of the rainfall for December on a map that shows that actually it's not necessarily the places with the

02:51highest rainfall totals that have seen the highest percentage of their December rainfall, because some

02:59places are, on average, much wetter than others. So, Dartmoor, 20 to 30% of its December rainfall.

03:07This is, by the way, comparing the forecast rain, which has more or less happened, the forecast rain

03:13from Monday evening through to Tuesday morning, with the December average. And it shows that, yeah,

03:19for Dartmoor, 20 to 30, but just to the north there, 30 plus. And there are some spots over here,

03:27south-east Wales, into parts of central southern England, where it's 30 to 40%. So, typically,

03:3520 to 30%, and in some places up to 40% or so, of their December rainfall has fallen during Monday

03:44night into the start of Tuesday. We've still got some rain to come during the rest of the day and into the

03:49start of Wednesday from Storm Bram, most especially towards the north of the UK. But these are the areas where

03:56we had yellow and indeed amber warnings. They are areas where we've seen an exceptional amount of rain

04:03in the last few months. And so, they are saturated. They don't need extra rainfall. And so, the impacts

04:09have been more considerable in these areas. Just to illustrate how their rainfall in South Wales and

04:18south-west England has compared through the year so far. We've got this graph here that shows the total rainfall

04:26accumulating through 2025. That's the black line here on the bottom compared with the average through the year.

04:34And that's the central black line. And as you might expect, it was considerably below through the spring

04:42and through the summer for south-west England and south Wales. But that deficit that reached a peak

04:50at the end of August has been nibbled away, certainly through September and then more especially since

04:57mid-October. We've seen that deficit in rain disappear completely by this stage. And these are rainfall

05:06totals going up to the start of Tuesday. So, now we're just slightly above for this point in the

05:15year up to the start of the 9th of December. And that's following months and months of rainfall

05:22deficit. So, actually, that deficit has completely gone for south-west England and south Wales. The

05:28same can't be said for East Anglia. This is the same graph, but for East Anglia, you can see a much bigger

05:34deficit in rainfall building up through the spring and summer. And then through the autumn. Yeah,

05:40that's been nibbled away, but not to the same extent. We've still got this deficit. So, one of

05:45the most common comments that we get on our videos is why are there both rain warnings and hosepipe bans?

05:54Well, the answer is that the rain warnings and the hosepipe bans aren't in the same part of the UK.

06:00The rain warnings recently have mostly been south Wales and south-west England,

06:06quite rightly as well. Of course, Monmouth was flooded a few weeks ago and we've seen significant

06:11impacts today across south Wales and south-west England. But the hosepipe bans, the water restrictions

06:18that are still in place, are in eastern parts of the UK, where there is still this considerable

06:24deficit in rainfall despite the wet weather that we've seen recently. It's going to take a lot more

06:29rain to make up that deficit after such an extraordinarily dry spring and summer.

06:37So, that's the rainfall. The worst rainfall is out of the way. The impacts will be ongoing, I'm sure,

06:43for some time to come. Let's take a look at the storm itself and where it's come from and how it's

06:49developed because it's quite an interesting meteorological feature. It has, of course,

06:54deepened rapidly during the last few hours. It continues to deepen as it works its way to the

07:01north-west of the UK. And I'm just going to pause it here. This is Monday and this shield of cloud,

07:07there's the Azores. Shield of cloud just to the north of the Azores. And if I just play it slowly

07:14through here, you can see how that's then deepening and developing as a storm moving into the UK. And

07:21here's the centre of the storm. Now, there are lots of fascinating aspects to this storm that I could

07:30talk about, but I'm going to focus on the reasons behind the location of the strongest winds. And I did

07:38a similar deep dive talking about this kind of low pressure. It's called a Shapiro-Kaiser low. And

07:47the unique characteristics of a Shapiro-Kaiser low pressure system. I did a similar deep dive,

07:54I think, earlier in the year. And we'll put a link to it in the description if you want to find out more.

08:00And I compared it to other types of low. So this is a particular kind of low. And the name Shapiro-Kaiser

08:06comes from the two chaps who discovered it. And it's a type of low that you often get over oceans.

08:15It's a type of low that often deepens rapidly. And it has a particular structure that differs from

08:20other types of low. Why is that important? It's important because it then determines where the

08:27strongest winds will be. And in this case, it's interesting because we've seen the wet weather move

08:34through. So the heavy rain initially. So the worst impacts from the heavy rain first earlier in the

08:40day on Tuesday. And then it's after the worst of the rain moves through that we've got the winds

08:45escalating. So the significant impacts from the winds still to come for the second half of Tuesday

08:51into the start of Wednesday. And that relates to how areas of warm air and cold air circulate

08:58around these types of low. And I'm going to just fast forward it there to six o'clock in the morning.

09:07And here's something I drew earlier. The placement of the warm fronts and the cold fronts.

09:13So as I say, I described this kind of low, the Shapiro-Kaiser cyclone in a bit more detail

09:19in a previous deep dive. If you want to find out more, there's a link in the description of this video.

09:23But one of the key things is the placement of the warm front and the cold front. Now,

09:29in other types of low, you have a warm front connected at the top in a location called the

09:36triple point to the cold front. And you've got in between something called a warm sector. That's where

09:41the warmer air is. And eventually the cold front catches up with the warm front that lifts the warmer

09:47air above. And you get the two joining together. In this type of cyclone, they are more fractured.

09:56So the cold front is more separate from the warm front. The warm front goes up here. The cold front

10:01goes along here. And as a result, and this is the key difference, the warm air wraps around the center

10:10of the low. So this is the key difference. There's the center of the low. And you've got the warm air

10:16that's moving up here, wraps around the center of the low. So it goes in here, tucks in. Okay.

10:24In another type of low where you've got the cold front, the top of the cold front joined with the

10:28top of the warm front, the warm air doesn't wrap around the center of the low. And instead you get a

10:33cold core. So the center of the low is cold. In this type of low, because the fronts are fractured,

10:39it allows the warm air to sneak in and wrap around the center of the low, creating a warm core.

10:46Why is that important? It's important because if you've got a warm core, you've got more rising air

10:51in the center of the low. That adds energy and it tightens the pressure gradient. In other words,

10:58it creates stronger winds circulating around the center of the low. And that's why you can often get

11:04this explosive deepening. That's what we've seen during the start of Tuesday. Because these fronts

11:10are fractured, they're separate from each other. Warm air wraps around the center of the low,

11:15warmer, rising air, fuel for rapid deepening, and stronger winds around the center of the low.

11:23And so it's around the center of the low as this warm air is tucking in. And actually behind that,

11:29by the way, you've also got colder air from higher up in the atmosphere being forced to come in and

11:36collide. So that adds a bit more energy as well, some buoyancy. So it's around this area that you

11:41get this tightening and you get these strong winds wrapped around the very center of the low.

11:47In other types of low pressure that I described, where the warm front and the cold front are more

11:51connected, you get a cold core. The strong winds are a bit more spread out, perhaps more associated

11:56with the cold front. In this case, they come in. The heavy rain is associated with the warm front.

12:02We've seen that go through. As that heavy rain clears through, we've got showers following,

12:07then the center of the low brings those strongest winds. So hopefully that made sense. As I say,

12:13there's another description about these types of lows in the description. But what that essentially

12:20boils down to is that during the rest of Tuesday, we're going to see the winds quickly pick up. So yes,

12:33although the heaviest rain is moving through, actually, I'm going to show this on the bigger picture

12:39because that helps to show how that low pressure is shaping up. Here's the jet stream, by the way,

12:46the jet stream helping to deepen the area of low pressure. But what's significant about this

12:52is the shape of the low.

12:53And it's elongated here. And you've got these tightly packed isobars. By 5pm Tuesday, tightly packed

13:03isobars into Northern Ireland, into Western Scotland, as that low undergoes its deepening because of the

13:09jet stream, because of the warm core. So the low pressure deepening and its shape has been a little

13:15bit awkward to forecast over the last couple of days. Subtle changes in that shape have led to key

13:21differences in the number of isobars passing through Northern Ireland. Hence, why we had to update

13:27Northern Ireland earlier in the day with an amber warning, because the shape was a little bit more

13:32elongated, pushing those tighter isobars into Northern Ireland. So tightly packed isobars into Northern Ireland,

13:40Western Scotland during the rest of Tuesday. That's where the strongest winds will be focused,

13:45around the centre of that low pressure, rather than associated with the cold front.

13:50It's that that cold front is more detached. And because of those winds, of course, there are

13:58weather warnings in force. Now, for the rest of

14:03Tuesday, the focus is on winds. And we'll just fast forward there to

14:08Tuesday evening. And increasingly, the focus is Northern parts of the UK. So the peak winds have

14:13already occurred in the south. Let's zoom in a bit. And you can see a broad yellow warning

14:19covering parts of North Wales into Northern England, whole of Scotland and Northern Ireland.

14:25And that yellow warning area, 60 mile-per-hour gusts in places, 70 around exposed coastal areas.

14:32But for Northern Ireland, just rewind a touch, there we go. We've got this smaller amber area covering the

14:41west of the west and parts of the north. That's where there's the risk of 80-mile-per-hour wind gusts

14:45in places, particularly around the coast. Northwest Scotland, so Isle of Mull, up to parts of Sutherland,

14:55Caithness. We've got this amber warning. That's where there's the risk of 80, perhaps 90-mile-per-hour

15:01wind gusts during Tuesday evening and the early hours of Wednesday. So it's northern parts of the UK

15:09now that are the focus for the strongest winds. What does that look like on the wind gusts graphic?

15:15Here we go. So we start off Tuesday with some very windy weather across

15:23many western parts of the UK. But by the time we get to

15:31Tuesday evening, that's when these very strong winds are coming into Northern Ireland. So you can

15:37see on the colours there, widely 50s, in some places 60 or 70 mile-per-hour wind gusts for Northern Ireland.

15:44And then this swathe of intense winds reaching parts of Western Scotland into Mole there. And if I play it

15:51forward into the rest of the west and northwest of Scotland, peaking during the evening. And then

16:00eventually, overnight, those winds move into Orkney and Shetland. And in fact, they die down for a time

16:11Wednesday morning. But then there's this other swathe of strong winds. Again, 70 or more mile-per-hour

16:18wind gusts into the far north of Scotland. So this is Wednesday afternoon. So we've got the winds

16:23peaking across Northern Ireland and northwest Scotland Tuesday evening. Overnight, the peak of

16:31the winds pushes into the far north of Scotland. They dip a little bit during Wednesday morning.

16:37Then they pick up again later in the day as Bram pulls away. Elsewhere in the UK,

16:44much less windy by Wednesday afternoon. So the winds coming down all the time. As I say,

16:49they've already peaked across the south and they'll continue to come down during Wednesday.

16:55So those kinds of wind speeds. We've got amber warnings. They can cause obviously widespread

17:00disruption. We've seen that disruption already. A lot of it due to rain, but increasingly that

17:05disruption will occur due to wind, ferry crossings, bridges, as well as transport disruption.

17:11There's likely to be flying debris, especially if people haven't secured outdoor furniture,

17:17Christmas decorations, that sort of thing. Dangerous conditions around coasts in particular,

17:23parts of the north and northwest of Scotland, prone to very large waves as well with this system.

17:28And the winds lasting quite some time across the north of Scotland, even if they

17:32are a short-lived, fierce feature elsewhere across the country. So winds increasingly a concern,

17:39rainfall less so because actually it becomes very showery over the next few days.

17:43This is the picture, 2pm Tuesday, the heaviest rain moving out of the way. We've still got some

17:51wetter weather to come swinging into the northwest of Scotland, accompanying those strongest winds.

17:57So heavy and persistent rain in this hook that moves into the northwest of Scotland. Showers elsewhere,

18:04some lively downpours across the west and southwest overnight and into the start of Wednesday.

18:09This is Wednesday morning, heavy showers across western England and Wales, frequent downpours for

18:16Scotland and Northern Ireland and they'll continue through the day. Further south you are though,

18:20the more those showers will ease into the afternoon and by the end of the afternoon into the evening,

18:25clear spells across England and Wales, winds becoming lighter, while we keep the blustery weather across

18:31Scotland, Northern England, Northern Ireland, a lot of cloud and further spells of rain into central and

18:36western Scotland showers further north again. So big contrasts north to south across the country and

18:42of course with the lighter winds and the clear skies in the south and southeast, a very different

18:48start to Thursday. We've got the potential for some mist patches in the southeast, feeling a bit colder once

18:54again. Wind starting to pick up though towards the west and the cloud arriving. So Thursday, a fine start for

19:01many. Some sunshine in the east and southeast but some mist patches further west, a strengthening breeze

19:08and outbreaks of rain starting to move in. So it's going to turn a little bit colder but not significantly

19:14so in the southeast. A big contrast compared with the warmth that we've got at the moment and here's another

19:22aspect of the forecast that I want to mention. It's just how remarkably warm it is at the moment. A lot of people have

19:29commented about it. A lot of people asked me about the warmth that we've seen recently but most especially

19:35today as Storm Bram hits the UK. This graph shows just how warm the character of the air that the storm

19:46is carrying with it is. Now this will take a bit of explaining. That's the purpose of the deep dive isn't it?

19:52This shows the 1000 to 500 hectopascal thickness at Camborne in Cornwall as recorded today compared with

20:05the extremes throughout the year. What are we talking about? Every day we send up once or twice a weather

20:13balloon from Camborne and a number of sites across the UK. The weather balloon measures air pressure,

20:19temperature, dew point, wind speed and so on. So we get this atmospheric profile. This shows how much

20:27distance that weather balloon is measuring between a pressure level of 1000 hectopascals which is

20:35close to the surface right to 500 hectopascals which is about five and a half kilometers above the surface.

20:42So it's measuring the distance between those two pressure levels. Now when you heat up air it expands.

20:50We know that because when we heat up hot air balloons the balloon expands that's what allows them to rise.

20:56So if you imagine the warmer the air becomes the more it's inflating like a balloon.

21:02This is a measure then of how thick the air is and effectively how warm that air is if you measure

21:11the distance between those two pressure levels. So as the air gets warmer the 500 hectopascal pressure

21:18level goes higher and the weather balloon will measure a greater distance. And this is basically

21:24showing the graph of the distance between those two points. And here's today's reading. Oh I've cut off

21:32the calendar year here but there's a scale on the bottom which is the calendar year. We're in December

21:38so obviously this is December at the end here. There's the summer and it shows the extremes through

21:43the year. The top line is the highest that is in the database on I should say Dan Harris's website.

21:53It's a great website Roostweather and Dan Harris is a chief meteorologist here at the Met Office and

21:59he's made this great website that looks at the climatology of these balloon ascents essentially.

22:08So this is the record in his database. It doesn't necessarily capture all the balloon ascents from

22:13Camborme but it's the record from his database going back to around 1980. That's how high it has been.

22:19Obviously it will go up in the summer and down in the winter and in December it tends to be much lower.

22:26That's the highest that's the lowest on the bottom the blue line in the middle you've got the average.

22:32So the higher the temperature of the air the thicker it is. Now that's today's balloon ascent.

22:40So it's up here it was at I think five well close to 5600 meters that distance. Considering

22:50that a summer heat wave you'd get values of that thickness around 5640 meters not far off a summer

23:00heat wave. Of course you're not going to get a heat wave because there's a storm out there. The sun is

23:07weak you've got a howling wind you've got a lot of rain but it shows just that sheer potential of the air

23:15that's come our way. How fundamentally warm in nature it is come all the way from the tropics.

23:23That it's up here and it's above the average for the summer and it's you know close to some of the

23:29record values for the winter as well. So that just shows how warm it could be down here. That's

23:34that's as low as it can get but it's all the way up here. That's today's balloon ascent from Cornwall

23:40and it just captures how unusually warm the air is. Sometimes in the winter because it's not all

23:47about how thick that layer of atmosphere is. Sometimes in the winter you can get a very thick

23:52layer when you've got high pressure and you've got this sinking air but at the surface you've got an

23:57inversion so temperature is much lower at the surface and you could even get a frosty morning

24:02and a much thicker layer of air above it where the air is sinking and compressing. So it's not

24:07always about how thick that air is but it is significant today certainly. Why is that significant?

24:14Because of where the air has come from. So this points to somewhere in Cheshire, Ross Thurn and

24:22this shows where the air has come from at various levels in the atmosphere. The blue colours, the darker

24:29colours are the air lower down and then as you go higher up in the atmosphere you've got the brighter

24:36colours but essentially at most levels in the atmosphere the air has come from way down here.

24:41Some parts of the atmosphere it's come from North Africa, other parts Iberia. A lot of it has come

24:46from the warmer seas of the Atlantic and so that's where the air has come from. We've had this plume of

24:52moist and very mild air come our way. Of course that's significant because it's helped temperatures to climb to

25:00unusually high values. McGilligan in Northern Ireland has already recorded a temperature of 16.3 celsius.

25:07Their December record is 16.7 celsius. Northern Ireland's December record is 16.7 celsius. That's not far off.

25:15And the last time Northern Ireland recorded a temperature of 16 celsius or more in December was 2000. So

25:23it is significant because it's helped temperatures climb into the mid or even higher teens. But it's also

25:31significant because a warmer air mass can contain more moisture, hence all the heavy rain that we've seen.

25:38And although temperatures will dip over the next few days it's going to stay mild. Double figures if not teens

25:45during the next few days. How does that compare with average? These maps show Tuesday's extraordinary numbers there.

25:51Some six or even nine degrees above average across the whole of the UK aside from parts of Northern

26:01Scotland. Wednesday not quite as mild but still above average. Three degrees or more in places.

26:08So temperature staying well above average by day and by night. Double figures for many although as I

26:14mentioned Thursday morning dipping into the single figures a bit of a fresher start during the next few

26:19mornings. Now later this week yes it's going to stay changeable. We've got further spells of rain moving

26:27through but nothing particularly impactful through Thursday into Friday. Essentially there's a slow

26:32moving band of rain coming in. But the next thing that we are concerned about is Saturday's weather.

26:40I'll just point out what's happening using the Met Office model. This is early Saturday and there's an area of

26:47low pressure here which is swinging in another frontal system early Saturday with tightly packed isobars,

26:54strong winds and this frontal system modelled to bring widespread heavy rain particularly again to western

27:03parts of the UK. What does that look like? Well this graphic here shows the total rainfall expected through

27:12Saturday and Sunday from three different computer models. The Met Office model on the left here, the European model

27:19in the middle and the American model on the right. Now the Met Office model has values in excess of 100

27:26millimetres once again across higher parts of western UK including South Wales, including western Scotland,

27:31North Wales and North Wales and North West England. So that is worrisome. But that is currently considered

27:39a worst case scenario. Why is that? Because other computer models don't have that much rainfall.

27:45This European model has still some wet weather in western parts of the UK but not of the order of the

27:53Met Office model and the American model has it mostly focused across western Scotland, much drier further

27:57southeast. So what's going on? What model can we believe? Well one thing that's important to point out is

28:05that the Met Office model compared with many other models is bringing the rain in much earlier, 24 hours

28:12earlier compared with others and it's a more active frontal system. And there's a reason behind that and we can

28:19explain what the reason is if we look at the comparison between the Met Office model and the European

28:25model here on the bottom. So the Met Office model on the top, I'll just fast forward to, don't want to go that far,

28:36Wednesday. I can't see that and scroll at the same time, bear with me. There we go, right. This is the key

28:43point, Friday morning and I want to draw your attention to the northwest of Canada where the Met Office model has got

28:51two areas of low pressure. Likewise, the European model, two areas of low pressure coming out of Canada.

28:56And if I play this, then you can see what happens. The Met Office model during Friday has the jet stream

29:04coming out of northern Canada as well and picks up this second low and deepens it quickly. The European model,

29:12the jet stream just misses that area of low pressure and picks up this low pressure instead. So Met Office

29:17model wants to develop the first low, European model wants to develop the second low. And watch what

29:25difference that makes. This is a great example of chaos theory. By early Saturday, Met Office model has the

29:32first low coming in quickly to the UK. European model has the second low. First low is completely gone,

29:39it's fizzled away. European model, second low, that's what it's focusing on. But it's some distance behind the Met Office

29:46model in terms of its bands of rain and so on. By the time we get to Saturday afternoon, Met Office model, lots of rain

29:52across the UK, strong winds, etc. European model, much slower, rain still to arrive, drier day on Saturday. And even when that

30:01rain does arrive, it's not as developed, it's not as heavy. So that's the difference between the two. There's

30:09two areas of low pressure coming out of Canada. Met Office model deepens the first one, that arrives

30:14earlier, brings heavier rain with it. European model deepens the second one. There are more models that are

30:22like the European model, both in terms of the what we call operational models, but also the ensemble

30:28members. So the number of other simulations that we do from each of these modelling centres. That leads

30:36us to trust this one a little bit more. Doesn't necessarily mean we can rule out the Met Office model,

30:42we need to keep an eye on it. But hopefully these differences will become resolved in the next day or

30:46two, because of course they emanate from Northern Canada by Friday morning. So that's the key difference.

30:52And we'd prefer that one, if I'm honest, because it would lead to less rain in those areas that are

31:00so badly affected at the moment by all the rain. So what does that lead to us suggesting the most

31:07likely weather is for the weekend? If we went with this, the most likely scenario, drier start to Saturday,

31:14rain arriving overnight, and then a wet old day on Sunday, wettest over Western Hills. Still some

31:21significant rain totals, but most likely 50 to 100 millimetres over some of the wetter spots of the

31:27west before the rain eventually fizzles away. That's the most likely Met Office model at the moment

31:33considered worst case scenario. But of course, we'll have more in the Met Office 10-day trend tomorrow.

31:39If you want to find out the very latest on that, hopefully we'll have a bit more clarity

31:43on the differences between these two and what's most likely to happen. And just to finish off,

31:50what can we expect after the weekend? Is there any end insights to all this Atlantic-driven,

31:55westerly, southwesterly, wet and windy weather? The answer is in the short term, no, not really.

32:04This graphic here shows the most likely weather patterns coloured up for each day of the next

32:09couple of weeks leading up to 22nd of December, so not far before Christmas. And mostly the colours

32:16here on this chart, this probability chart, are blues. Mostly this shade of blue, southwesterlies,

32:21that's what this map's showing. And it's showing temperature anomalies compared with average.

32:26So southwesterly winds, warmer than average, spells of rain and showers and strong winds at times.

32:33That's the most likely weather scenario through next week and into the start of the week after.

32:40But at the moment, there are some subtle hints. I wouldn't put too much into them, but there are some

32:48subtle hints of some more settled weather or at least less unsettled weather evolving through that

32:54week of Christmas. No signs of any proper cold weather or snow. It's mostly low pressure,

33:01spells of rain and wind and so on. But there is that promise towards the end of the year of something a

33:07bit less unsettled. And we'll keep you updated on that, as and when we get more information, of course.

33:13You can follow those updates on our YouTube channel. But thank you for watching this.

33:17Thank you for bearing with me. And I hope you enjoyed it. Bye bye for now.
