TEMPERATURES are set to get frightfully warm as we heard towards Halloween.

We could see highs of more than 20C by the end of the week, Bournemouth-based forecaster Bournemouth & Poole Weather has said.

Providing an outlook this morning, the weather enthusiast said: “Well a quieter day today.

"Fewer showers and certainly less potent and bright or sunny spells most of the time. Maybe not quite as mild with max temps of 17C.”

He added: “Actually not a bad working week coming up, the rain signals have been dialled back and we should be limited to just a few showers. Potentially becoming exceptionally mild towards the end of the week with temperatures above 20C.”

It comes after some disruptive weather over the last few days with flash flooding seen across parts of Dorset and the New Forest following torrential rain and thunderstorms.
