WARM weather will settle across Dorset this week, with Wednesday set to be the hottest day ahead of Bank Holiday.

And there is good news for those looking to come enjoy the beaches of Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch over Bank Holiday, as Saturday and Sunday are looking equally as good - if not better.

Today, Tuesday, and Wednesday, temperatures will rise to 22C, although there could be some showers from 4pm as well on Wednesday.

Thursday will see some light rain and Friday will be cloudy before sun and temperatures of 24C return for the weekend.
