Residents in Bournemouth can look forward to a pleasant and dry weekend as high pressure moves into the region. According to the Met Office, the shift in weather will bring an end to the showery conditions seen earlier this week, offering better conditions for those planning to visit local attractions like the seven miles of beaches or the Bournemouth Pier.

Saturday is forecast to have sunny intervals with a high of 16°C, while Sunday will be a brighter, sunny day with temperatures reaching 15°C. Both days are expected to feel pleasant with lighter winds compared to earlier in the week, though early mornings will remain chilly with temperatures dropping to around 5°C. These daytime temperatures are slightly warmer than the typical April average of 13°C for the area.

While the weather is ideal for outdoor activities, the Met Office warns that ultraviolet levels will be moderate throughout the weekend. Residents and visitors are advised to take care during the middle of the day and use sunscreen if spending time outside. Additionally, those with allergies should be aware that pollen levels are expected to be moderate on Saturday and rise to high on Sunday, with both birch and oak pollen present.

The settled weather is expected to remain consistent as high pressure continues to dominate the forecast for the South West of England through early next week.
