Local knowledge

Weather at Dorset's north-eastern edge.

Open ground, woodland and the transition towards the New Forest can all influence local wind and temperature. The network tracks the latest approved reading and compares it with recent conditions.

Useful context for Cranborne, Verwood, Alderholt, Fordingbridge and nearby communities.
