Hove Beach: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, May 14, 2026

Summary
Full Forecast

Today is certainly not an ideal day for a trip to Hove Beach. With light rain falling throughout the day and the sky dominated by thick clouds, you will find the conditions quite dreary. The air temperature will reach a cool 12.6 °C, and with the sea temperature sitting at 13.3 °C, the water is far too cold for swimming. You can expect a noticeable breeze as well, which will make the air feel even chillier while you are near the shore. Given the persistent wet weather and lack of warmth, it is best to skip the beach today and save your visit for a much brighter, drier occasion.
