Summary
Full Forecast

Today at Hove Beach is an average day that will likely be more suited for a pleasant stroll along the pebbles than a full afternoon of sunbathing. While the air temperature will reach a maximum of 21.5 °C, the sky will remain mostly cloudy throughout the day. You can expect gentle breezes, though occasionally you might feel some sharper movements in the air. The sea temperature is 21.2 °C, which makes the water just about warm enough for a quick dip if you are feeling brave. The water remains very calm with minimal waves, making it easy to enter the sea. Keep in mind that there is a slight chance of light showers, so it is a good idea to bring a light jacket just in case the weather shifts.
