In Bowleaze Cove, a pollution risk to the public has been issued after sewage was discharged.

A statement from Surfers Against Sewage said: "Storm sewage has been discharged from a sewer overflow in this location within the past 48 hours.

"A small stream associated with Bowleaze Cove bathing water, east of Weymouth on the Dorset coast. During and after heavy periods of rainfall, runoff from the surrounding area will greatly increase and bathing water quality may be reduced.

"Bathing is not advised today due to the likelihood of reduced water quality."

Similar alerts are in place at beaches after sewer overflows in Lodmoor and Castle Cove.

Bathing is not advised at Sandsfoot Castle due to the likelihood of poor water quality, with the sewer discharging directly onto the beach at the castle.

On Portland, sewage has been discharged at Portland Harbour South and Chesil Cove.

The south side of Portland Harbour, near to Portland Port is a popular spot for scuba diving.

Chesil Cove at the southern extremity of Chesil Beach is not an official bathing water, however, it is also a popular spot for scuba diving.
