Alum Chine Beach (Bournemouth) - Dorset

Westbourne: the beach during an October heat-wave

After the most mediocre of summers, this weekend has achieved the hottest October temperatures ever recorded, with 29.9° recorded in Kent yesterday and at least 25° here in Bournemouth. Even now, at around 5pm, the beach is still busy with people enjoying the hot weather shortly before the sun passes behind the cliffs.
