Litton Cheney Youth Hostel (Dorset) weather

Headline:

Bright, sunny and very warm.

Today:

Any early mist and murk clearing soon after dawn, leaving a widely fine day with plenty of sunshine for all. Becoming very warm or hot by the afternoon, and feeling humid too with light winds. Maximum temperature 28 °C.

Tonight:

Plenty of late evening sunshine for many, though turning cloudier in the far southwest. Dry and settled overnight, with some mist and murk returning across the Moors. Feeling muggy. Minimum temperature 16 °C.

Tuesday:

A cooler, cloudier day for many, though staying dry with a few sunny spells too. Feeling fresher in the west, but still rather warm in the east. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Fresher for all with a few bright spells, but cloudier skies bringing outbreaks of rain at times too, these sometimes heavy. Light winds inland, but breezier around the coasts.

Residual rain clearing the southeast, if it hasn't done before this time, with widely fine and much fresher and cooler conditions than of late. Perhaps turning wetter and windier in the northwest though, with more unsettled conditions spreading across the UK through the coming weekend. Not everywhere will see rain or showers, and there will be some brighter, more shower weather too, particularly on Sunday where there is a risk of thunderstorms. Following this, more changeable weather is expected with winds mainly from the west, leading to a typical northwest-southeast split whereby rain and showesr are most frequent in the north and west, whilst south and eastern areas are more often dry, bright and warmer.

Changeable conditions are most likely through the middle part of the month, with showers or longer spells of rain, but also some drier, brighter interludes. Areas towards the northwest are more likely to see the wettest conditions, whereas those towards the southeast stand a greater chance of longer drier periods. However, there is also the chance of occasional thundery outbreaks, which could bring heavy rainfall to any part of the UK. There are hints that more widely drier conditions may develop by the latter part of the month. Overall, temperatures are forecast to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
