Bournemouth experienced record-high temperatures around 30.2 degrees, drawing large crowds to its beaches, marking the hottest May day this century. The influx led to significant traffic delays and illegal parking as visitors flocked to the area. While local businesses, like Picnic Park Deli, enjoyed increased sales amid the good weather, concerns arose over littering, particularly near Highcliffe Castle beach. BCP councillor Andy Martin expressed frustration over the poor environmental respect shown by visitors. Despite the litter issues, the weekend was a positive reset for the area’s tourism after a challenging winter.
