THE fair weather is set to continue across Dorset this week- with temperatures predicted to reach the mid-twenties.
As we enter the second week of June things are really starting to heat up with temperatures reaching highs of 23C on the weekend.
With lockdown measures eased people can meet up in groups of up to 30 outside which means the barbecue season can finally start and the Met Office has forecast another glorious week on the south coast.

Following yesterday's overcast and gloomy start to the week, today has a much brighter and warmer outlook.
Forecaster Bournemouth and Poole Weather has said that although the morning started off bright, there will be some cloud throughout the day.
UV levels also continue to remain high today and sun protection should be worn if you are planning on spending a prolonged period outside.
In contrast to yesterday it’s a beautiful start. Plenty of sun today this morning, just some fair weather cloud around this afternoon & feeling pleasantly warm with tops around 22C. UV index up at 8 so very high. @portlandukwx @DorsetSnow @Bournemouthecho
