AFTER a lovely start to the week, the weather has certainly turned a lot more gloomy and overcast towards the weekend. 

Get ready for a pretty standard and grey weekend with glimpses of sun as it draws to a close on Sunday.

Although the weather isn't looking like much to write home about, there are plenty of events still going ahead across the conurbation to keep you busy.  

In today's outlook, Friday, September 10, what started off as a grey and overcast morning will continue for the rest of the day with scattered showers which will ease by the end of the day. 

There will be some sunny spells and we move into the evening and there is a risk of thunderstroms - the maximum temperature in Bournemouth will be 22C. 

Saturday will start off cloudy but it is expected to turn brighter through the day, though light showers remain possible.

Sunday and Monday are looking cloudy with patchy rain though there is a risk of heavier rain and thunderstorms.
