August is the perfect time for a holiday in Dorset if you're looking for some summer sun on a UK break. With average temperatures ranging between highs of 19°C and lows of just 13°C, it's one of the warmest months of the year in the region. Home to attractions like Bournemouth Beach, Durdle Door, West Bay's cliffs and the Studland National Nature Reserve, Dorset isn't short of outdoor activities, and you'll enjoy them even more when the sun's out!
During August, Dorset experiences just 7 days of rainfall on average too, making August not only one of the driest months to visit, but Dorset one of the driest counties in the UK during the summer - so if you're not a fan of the rain, the Jurassic Coast is an excellent choice.
