Hove West (Beach) (Brighton and Hove) weather

Headline:

Sunny intervals and occasional blustery, perhaps thundery showers.

Today:

A largely dry and bright start with sunny intervals, though occasional heavy showers along the south coast. Cloud increasing through the morning, with occasional heavy, blustery showers moving northeastward across all parts. A chance of some showers turning thundery. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Tonight:

Partly cloudy some bright intervals and further heavy blustery showers this evening, these gradually easing. Becoming drier with clear spells developing overnight, isolated showers possible nears coasts. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Friday:

Another day of sunny intervals and blustery showers, these heavy and perhaps thundery at times. Showers organising into longer bands of rain overnight. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Early heavy rain clearing Saturday to sunny intervals and showers. Dry and bright start Sunday, heavy rain and strong winds later. Occasional heavy showers, strong winds and coastal gales Monday.

Likely a continuation of the unsettled theme at first with further showers each day on a brisk westerly wind. Risk of some stronger winds and heavy rain around the middle of the week, although this looks a low risk at this time. Later in the period, there may be a trend toward more in the way of settled and drier interludes interspersed with further periods of rain and showers. These look more likely across southern areas of the UK, but may extend to other parts at times. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but if we start to see more in the way of dry weather later in the period, temperatures could recover back to a little above average at times.

This period is likely to be changeable. Areas of low pressure are likely at times, especially towards the north of the UK. These will bring spells of rain and showers, some of which are likely to be heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, and some windy conditions, especially if any deep lows form. Some drier, more settled spells are also likely, especially towards the south, perhaps more particularly early in the period when higher pressure may be more dominant. Temperatures are likely to be close to or a little above average overall, although chilly nights with some fog patches are possible when and where skies are clear and winds light.
