Branksome (Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole) weather

Headline:

A cold and frosty start before a warmer weekend.

Today:

Clear skies bring a cold and crisp morning, with patchy frost in rural areas. Remaining dry and bright, though perhaps turning a little cloudier by the afternoon. Feeling warmer in sunny spells and lighter winds. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Tonight:

Another cold night ahead but not turning quite as chilly as last night. Staying dry with plenty of lengthy clear periods and light winds. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Saturday:

As high pressure builds in the southern half of the UK, this brings plenty of fine and settled weather with sunny spells. Feeling warmer too with light winds. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

High pressure means plenty of fine and settled weather continuing. Perhaps cloudier at times. Feeling warm, with the best of the sunshine along the south coast.

Cloud and outbreaks of rain are expected to affect some northern areas for a time on Tuesday, with dry and sunny conditions further south. Through the rest of next week high pressure will become more dominant, with dry and often sunny conditions spreading across the majority of the UK. Winds could be fairly strong at times in the south, with some overnight mist and fog in parts of the north. Temperatures during the day will likely be above average in many areas, although some cold nights are possible in places. A similar pattern will probably persist through the following week, although by late September there is a chance that more unsettled conditions may begin to develop.

Typical Autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types during late September and early October. Periods of wet, unsettled weather will likely be broken up by some spells of more settled, drier weather. Overall, the wettest conditions will probably be in the west with the east drier. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average.
