WEATHER: The forecast for Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole

This summer's weather has been more unpredicatble than imagined, with a mix of hectic downpours, short-lived heat waves but mostly just overcast and dull. 

But, it could still all turn around for the bank holiday - here's hoping - with the rest of the week expected to remain dry and mostly bright with the odd day of grey clouds.

Looking at the rest of today, Tuesday, August 24, after a bright and cheery morning we can expect a nice warm afternoon with highs of 23C. 

Twitter forecaster Bournemouth and Poole Weather said that the rest of the day should remain pleasant despite a north easterly breeze rolling in. 

Well it’s clearly a much brighter start this morning, any cloud that does drift in this morning will break to leave a sunny and warm afternoon. Feeling pleasant with temps up to 23-24C despite a fresh north easterly breeze @DorsetSnow @portlandukwx @Bournemouthecho
