@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
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.

Just across the border. I would presume that many areas of north dorset have reached the 36C threshold this afternoon.
Temperatures have reached 36.4°C at Yeovilton, provisionally making it the hottest June day on record, surpassing both the previous record set yesterday and the longstanding record from 1976 🌡️

34.1C was previous record dating back to 1990. Driving past Bournemouth Airport my car was saying 37C, although this should be taken with a pinch of salt

34.1C to officially beat, although i’m sure mid 30s has unofficially been recorded inland Dorset.

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!

@DorsetSnow the storm seems to be easing off in Kinson. A few minutes ago hail stones were pinging against the window!
