I've finally decided to move my website out of the 1990s and into the 21st Century.
The new site is still being tweaked, but you can take a look here: www.bhweather.com/new

November so far- mean temp 13.5c. This is 0.7c up on the average temp for OCTOBER, and 4.2c up on the average November.
When we do eventually get some colder weather, my goodness we're going to feel it !

Very wet overnight with 42mm falling in around 4 hours, 24mm of which fell in the hour betewen 5 and 6am.

yesterdays max temp was 27.9c.
This morning we started off 5c warmer than y'day and at 10am local we've almost reached y'day's max. Wind still from the east, so how high we get depends on any sea breeze developing.
30c could be on the cards. 28.8 (1 July) is the hottest so far.

Temperature briefly topped 25c a couple of hours ago, but the heat is now being pushed away, as Atlantic weather arrives which will be with us for the next few days. Risk of showers this afternoon showing on radar.
Changeable rather than unsettled for the foreseeable (~ 5 days+)

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far - max was 26.6c (just shy of the old 80f mark which is 26.7c)
A very warm night, min 19.8c, so not quite a "tropical night" which is an overnight min of 20c or greater.

Think it's been unusually dry in recent weeks? You'd be right!
Just 13.8mm recorded here since 26th Feb. We would normally expect ~80-85mm in that time.
Sadly, true to form, BH Friday could see around 15mm fall amid low temps.
Sometimes the weather can be just plain spiteful.

Max temp today 17,3c, equal warmest day of the year as the 10th also reached 17.3c
Feels coller in the breeze though, with dewpoints being low it has a bit of a bite to it.
Extremely dry month so far, 0.8mm mostly from dew or frost deposits.

Today's rain takes the annual total to 1050.8mm, 2nd highest this century above the infamous 2014.
Only 2.4mm to go to take top spot off last year which ended at 1053.2mm.
Looks certain to be passed tomorrow when the next low comes in.

Very marginal rain/snow situation in Dorset this morning.
No snow so far in Bmth, though there was some ice in the rain when it began around 8am.
Snow in Verwood now and there are signs of the rain turning a bit sleety even here as temps fall to 2C
