Dorset will feel a bit more summery next week as temperatures are set to rise.

After a chilly few days, temperatures could reach as high as 22 degrees next week.

Despite the warmer weather during the day, it is still expected to remain cooler overnight, with temperatures reaching as low as 11 degrees.

Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna told the PA news agency: “There will still be mixed conditions with some wet and windier weather coming in across Scotland and Northern Ireland through Saturday afternoon.

“But for England and Wales, and for much of the day in eastern Scotland as well, there will be a lot of fine weather around, with sunny spells and lighter wind in the south.

“We’re looking at temperatures up to 19, possibly 20 towards the South East.

“That band of rain will make its way south into northern England and North Wales overnight. But it will start to weaken and some lighter rain will move in across central parts of the UK.

“What’s left of that band of rain continues gradually southwards, slipping across northern England later in the day, reaching much of Wales, the Midlands and parts of East Anglia.

“The far south of England and South Wales will hold on to some dry, bright weather. Scotland, Northern Ireland, and eventually, northern England will also see some sunshine.”
