Hove Beach: Weather Today

📅 Monday, June 8, 2026

Summary
Full Forecast

Today is a poor day for a beach trip to Hove, so it is best to make alternative plans. You can expect steady rainfall throughout the day, which will keep the shoreline quiet and dreary. The wind is quite strong, creating restless conditions by the water, and the waves are noticeably choppy. With the air temperature reaching a maximum of 17.8 °C and the water temperature remaining quite chilly at 14.8 °C, the sea is definitely not inviting for a swim. Thick clouds will hide the sun for most of the time, making for a rather gloomy atmosphere. Given the combination of persistent rain and blustery winds, the beach is not a comfortable place to be today.
