Warm and mostly fine again in Poole today: 26°C with low rain risk
10 August 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Another settled day is on the cards for Poole, with the Met Office forecasting a high of 26°C, a low of 16°C overnight, and just a 4% chance of rain. Cloud will be around through the day, but the fine spell that has been building is expected to hold — and, notably, forecasters suggest it could continue for a week or more.
The UV index is rated at 6, which sits in the high band, so sun cream is worth applying even on a partly cloudy day — particularly for anyone spending time outdoors along the Quay, at Hamworthy Park, or out on the water. Children and fair-skinned adults are most susceptible to UV exposure even without direct sunshine.
With temperatures consistently in the mid-to-upper twenties, Poole Harbour and Sandbanks Beach are likely to be busy through the week. If you are heading to the coast, early mornings tend to be quieter for parking. The Whitecliff open-water swimming spot is also popular during fine spells.
