The climate of Brighton (England)
Brighton is one of the most famous seaside resorts in England.
Brighton has a beautiful pier. Ever since the 17th century people have
visited the town to enjoy the beaches. About 8 million tourists travel
here annually. The most important attractions of the city are the old
pier and the Royal Pavilion. The Royal Pavilion was built for the
Prince of Wales who later became King George IV and can still be
visited. This beautiful building has been well preserved. The
decorated rooms give you a good impression of how the well-to-do lived
along the coast. The beautiful pier was built in 1890. The pier has
everything to offer you may expect from an English coastal town.
Several amusement arcades, a funfair, fortune tellers and the
inevitable fish and chips stands can be found here.
Brighton’s weather is usually warmer than in other places in England.
Spring comes early in Brighton bringing pleasantly warm temperatures.
Summers are pleasant and winters are reasonably mild. The climate is
strongly influenced by a warm current passing through the North Sea.
However, the influence of the sea is also responsible for changes in
the weather. Showers can form quickly. However, these showers are
often short lived.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
