As has been the case for a while the showers, try thier best but , hardly manage to bust the snowdome, so a shower free day in the local area although I was a mere 2 miles away as the birds fly and picked up a 2minute shower, which didnt manage to reach here.
A peak 17.9°C at: 14:34, kinda pleasant with no rain, hoping for some top up rainfall before the heat returns..

Advised my wife it’s going to improve after lunch so we’ll go to Swanage and try to have a bit of beach time.
Face value a low shower risk, sunny spells and 17/18c is fine.
Just looked closer and saw the predicted wind and feels like temperature. She’s not going to be impressed !!
The sea is looking calm down there this morning..

But at least the sea temperature is warmer than the air temperature, currently 18.5 °C.

The UK's largest air festival - in the air, on the ground & at night! - Bournemouth Air Festival
BOURNEMOUTHAIR.CO.UKWelcome to the UK's biggest air festival, it's an unmissable weekend of wonder: in the air, on land and at sea.Generally the events start around 1pm ...ish and end around 5pm and then sometimes there's the evening session which begins around 6ish until duskish..
Apologies for the "ish's" but it varies by the day, the last day is always a short day and finishes around 4ish (!)..
Of course if Mother nature joins in, the you're b.....d as the flying is cancelled.

Doubt it. Hengistbury Head will get in the way.
Yeah that's a long way out from the the action, would do best to get to the east cliff or west cliff.Usually quite viewable from those places, I think I get the best view from the top of Richmond Hill!
At least try to get to Southbourne OR Sandbanks, opposite ends of the main action.
If you seriously want to watch the show AND enjoy the evening stuff, you need to get closer that New Milton, of course depends what you are seeking. You could always park at my place and catch the bus in from here should you wish..

Dan, I don't think the problem is getting there, it seems more like "How quick will you be returning?"..

Morning All, some good cloud activity going on this morning, dark areas to the north of me somewhat lighter over the channel, after yesterdays miss, I wnder If we will get lucky today with some shower/rain activity, radar suggests "yes". An overnight low of 11.9°C at: 04:36, currently 17.4°C with RH76% and a decent breeze in from the SW..all to play for and of course it is the weekend so showers seem more likely on these days!!
Bournemouth beach on a saturday in August, not quite what you expect to see....

Morning All, back to the warm nights again with a low of 14.1°C at: 00:27, currently 15.3°C with RH88% and overcast skies..
Current radar suggests that we are a bit too far south at he moment to be affected with showers, however maybe if the temperature rises with the unstable air we may see some precip...

A sign of Global warming?

They have increased the warning timeframe here
certainly doesn’t look like storms at the moment judging by the radar but as we know things can change pretty rapidly
Even tomorrow they have a storm risk for most of the day.
Have the MetO gone yellow because of the campers?

Morning All, and overcast St covering this morning more of a prelude to later in the day, but the odd spot of rain from this small area of liquid cruising past at the moment (Notice the hangover effect of the snow dome still in place)
Overnight low 12.2°C at: 02:53, currently 14.9°C with RH84%

Today’s 21.4c maximum is the first time it’s got above 20c for 8 days!
Two dry days in a row too!
Turning my attention to the Dorset weather and primarily the Wimborne/Corfe/Poole areas for Saturday onwards!
Saturday looks terrible, Sunday/Monday shower risk, better for a few days midweek?
Andy, welcome to our domain, always welcome a fellow NW forum member to the area. As noted unfortunately the weather isn't looking brilliant by any means, however look at it this way...
In the rain, the beach will be this empty so you can enjoy the spaciousness of it all!
