Westbourne: a hot October evening on the beach
This weekend's remarkable weather leaves the beach, at 5pm on an October evening, resembling an afternoon in the height of the season. 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.
