    Recursive computations are used by the author to give formulas for the Tutte polynomials of parallel and series connections of weighted matroids, generalizing and unifying formulas of \textit{J. G. Oxley} and \textit{D. J. A. Welsh} [Discrete Math. 109, 185--192 (1992; Zbl 0780.05011)], as well as \textit{B. Bollobás} and \textit{O. Riordan} [Comb. Probab. Comput. 8, 45--93 (1999; Zbl 0926.05017)]. As a corollary to the main result formulas for the tension and flow polynomials as in \textit{D. R. Woodall} [Discrete Math. 247, 201--213 (2002; Zbl 0996.05054)] are obtained.
