Roads are being closed again on the approach to Lulworth and Durdle Door due to the amount of people trying to get to the coast.
Visitors are being urged to avoid these hotspots as it is very busy.

The road outside busy already with cyclists shouting to each other & cars streaming up to #DurdleDoor. It’s going to be horrible. Please PLEASE don’t drive hours to get here, it’s likely to be closed by lunchtime & you’ll be disappointed. Go to your nearest beach & help everyone!

There are no other reported major problems on the roads elsewhere, although those heading to beaches along the coast should expect delays.
There are reports of slow traffic on Ferry Road, Studland and on the A31 westbound at Wimborne and the A31 at Picket Post.
High temperatures are being experienced again today as the heatwave continues.
