HEAVY rain will hit Dorset on Friday and Saturday, with a weather warning issued for parts of the county.
The Met Office say parts of Dorset including Swanage, Wareham and Bere Regis could see heavy downpours between 6am on Friday until 6pm on Saturday.
The warning says: "Bands of heavy, at times thundery, showers are expected to affect parts of southwest England from Friday morning until later on Saturday.
"Whilst most areas will see a rather wet spell, not everywhere will see the heaviest downpours.
"Where they do occur, 20-40 mm may fall in 6-12 hours, with perhaps around 50 mm falling in 24 hours - most likely across southeast-facing coasts and moors of Devon and Cornwall. Showers may also contain small hail at times."
Bus and train services could be affected and there will also be spray and flooding on roads, making journey times longer.
