Don’t forget your brolly – where has the Great British Summer gone?
As heavy rain batters Dorset, there is a ray of sunshine for those in mourning for the summer – it could be back as early as this afternoon.
The rain is due to continue today until around 4pm, when temperatures are set to rise again to 20 degrees. The sun will come out and it will be dry this evening.
However, the good weather is not set to last as at 4am tomorrow the rain is going to set in again, accompanied by strong winds.
The Met Office has issued a weather warning from 7am tomorrow to 9pm.
A spokesman warned of potential gusts up to 60mph. He said: “A spell of unseasonably strong southwesterly winds, accompanied by heavy, blustery showers, is expected to develop across the south of the UK later on Friday.
“Winds will peak early on Saturday through the Bristol Channel area, before slowly transferring east across the south of England. Additionally the strongest winds will lead to large waves around exposed coastlines.”
He added: “Gusts of 40-45 mph inland, and 50 to very locally 60 mph along exposed coastlines, are expected. Please be aware that these may lead to disruption to transport, and in view of the time of the year there is increased potential for disruption to outdoor activities.”
