each year has been a record—breaking hot year since we remember. so that's when i started looking at the bigger problem. these are a technique of making these large cones that could be 10—12 stories tall, could hold some 10 million litres of water in the winter and then because of its geometric shape it doesn't melt untiljune. and when it melts in those months it releases the water slowly so that trees could be planted in deserts, or it augments the flow of streams so that farmers get a little more water in the crisis period.
5:49 pm
upstream where we put the pipe and downstream where we want the ice cone of the water wants to go to the same level as up and there is pressure which throws water into the —20 winter sky and then it freezes into a cone of ice.

are glaciers are melting notjust because of our actions, it is to do with the big cities of the world. new york, new delhi, beijing, paris. already we have lost 15% of our glaciers in the past ten years or so. by the end of the century, 70% of the glaciers will be gone. we gave a call to the world through movement called i live simply where we say if please live simply in your big cities we might simply live.

hello. you probably don't need me to tell you that this is the fourth consecutive weekends when low pressure has been in charge of our weather. and the low that's been with us during saturday has brought some very strong winds, some very heavy rain, quite a potent weather system. it was named storm anthony by the met office. this shield of cloud, you can see, though, the area of cloud has been rolling eastwards in the area of low pressure will be clearing eastwards during sunday. and that will allow for a somewhat drier and brighter day, still quite breezy to start off across eastern
5:55 pm
england with cloud and some splashes of rain. but most of us will get to see some sunshine through the day, albeit with quite a few showers, some heavy thundery ones, particularly affecting parts of scotland. temperatures are a little bit higher than they have been 17, 18,19 degrees. this is not particularly impressive for this point in august, but it should be a warmer day than saturday in many places. now, during sunday nights, with largely clear skies overhead, with lighter winds, temperatures are set to drop. it's going to be quite a cool and fresh night. even in the towns and cities down to eight or nine degrees. some spots in the countryside will get chillier than that. but after that fresh start, monday should at least bring some spells of sunshine. and while there will be some showers, there probably won't be too many. later in the day, though, we will see more cloud rolling in towards the south west of england, parts of wales and northern ireland. temperatures, if anything, just a little bit higher, 16 to 21 degrees celsius. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, we will see this next frontal system pushing in from the west. but this is going to be
5:56 pm
quite a weak affair. so it will bring quite a lot of cloud, could turn things quite misty and murky for some coast and hills in wales and the south west of england there'll be some bits and pieces of rain and at the same time, this brisk northerly winds will bring the odd shower into northern scotland. temperatures between 16 and 20 degrees in most places for wednesday. still signs of a weak frontal system bringing some cloud, bringing some bits and pieces of rain. but there is likely to be a lot of dry weather, some spells of sunshine. the winds will be quite light and temperatures will start to climb 17 to 2a degrees. and that's certainly looks like the first sign of a change. as we move into thursday, we see high pressure building to the east of us, low pressure to the west. this weather setup will bring some warmer air in our direction. so thursday is likely to be the warmest day we'll have seen for quite some time. still some large areas of cloud around with some sunny spells as well. and the vast majority should be dry. maybe just the odd shower creeping into northern ireland later
5:57 pm
in the day. but have a look at the temperatures. quite a change. 25 degrees for glasgow and for cardiff, 26 for birmingham and for london. a couple of places might getjust a little warmer than that. however, does look like we will then see a frontal system pushing eastwards which will cool things off again into next weekend. low pressure still quite close by, particularly up towards the north and the west. but it does look like high pressure will have a bit more of an influence on our weather, keeping things that bit drierfurther south and east. so for next weekend's low pressure, still fairly close by, but i think it should be a little bit less unsettled. there'll be a bit more in the way of dry weather and it should feel just a little bit warmer as well. that's all from me. bye for now.
