Agreed. If it turns out to be sunny I can always use the brolly to protect my eyes from the setting sun!!! |

However, I have noticed just how much influence a comparatively low range of hills (South Dorset Downs / the Purbecks) has on the weather hereabouts: they seem to modify the conditions *markedly* downwind, so with any direction (of wind) from between S & WSW, things don't necessarily turn out as you'd expect! They're hardly mountains - from a quick look at the map, generally 150 m elevation, with spots above 180 m.

There is a gap around Corfe Castle which must also have some affect on local conditions. |
