Weather: thunderstorms forecast for Dorset by Met Office

Days of humid weather could culminate in thunderstorms which have been forecast at times.

Over the last few days, we’ve seen temperatures around 19C.

Earlier this week, Bournemouth-based forecaster said there could be "thundery conditions" on the way.
