BRACE yourself for a turbulent weekend of windy wet weather. 

The weather this month has been particularly hit or miss, with some gloriously sunny spells and equally bleak downpours. 

Unfortunately the weather this weekend is not looking to improve as Storm Evert grips the south coast, sending blustery winds and thunder our way. 

Today the Met Office have put a yellow weather warning in place due to Storm Evert for wind. 

The Met Office said: "Storm Evert will bring a spell of strong to gale force winds which may cause damage to infrastructure and lead to travel disruption."

Albeit windy, the rest of the day should remain dry with the chance of the odd shower here and there. 

Local forecaster Bournemouth and Poole Weather said: "Storm Evert pretty much on top of us this morning, squally showers and rain initially, brightening up through the morning but showers still likely.

"Winds remaining strong with gusts up to 50+mph through the next few hours. Temps just 17-19C."
