@UKStormUpdates @DorsetSnow just after midnight in Wareham. Couldn’t use the video of the instant crack of thunder due to my choice of language 🫣
Scattered thunderstorms likely tonight and into the early morning.
These will bring an end to the most intense heat of this spell, but highs remaining in the high 20s for Friday and Saturday.
OFFICIAL:
36C recorded at Bournemouth Airport which smashes any previous recorded high temperature.
Absolutely incredible
Just across the border.
I would presume that many areas of north dorset have reached the 36C threshold this afternoon.
@peacockreports do you know the difference between bournemouth airport and hurn or is it a glitch in the system
Met office ukv model suggests that there is a good chance of our all time high temperature being smashed on Wednesday. Highs of 36-38C quite possible.
Can’t believe i’m typing this.

Hengistbury Head in he thunderstorms and torrential rain this afternoon @DorsetSnow – at Bournemouth, England
Heavy thundery showers should begin to fade within the next hour or so, but storm risk returns on Thursday.
Low pressure systems in the Atlantic causing a bit of a nuisance, although at least it’s more comfortable to sleep at night!
