Hythe Beach: Weather Today

📅 Tuesday, June 9, 2026
Today is unfortunately not a suitable day for a trip to the beach. You can expect persistent light rain throughout the day, which will keep things feeling quite damp and chilly. With maximum air temperatures reaching 15.8 °C and a brisk, strong wind blowing across the coastline, conditions are far from comfortable for sunbathing or relaxing by the water. The sea is quite rough with notable wave activity, and at a temperature of 13.8 °C, it is definitely too cold for swimming. Given the combination of rain and gusty winds, it is best to skip the beach today and plan your visit for a time when the weather is calmer and the skies have cleared.
