The average maximum temperature during July 2022 in Shoreham was 24.6 Celsius (76F), and that was over 1 degree Celsius (>2F) above normal for the time of year. The average minimum temperature was 15.0 Celsius (59F), and that was less than 0.5 degree Celsius (<1F) above the July average.

The highest temperature recorded during the month was 34.7 Celsius (94F) on the 19th, but the only other day with a high above 30 Celsius (86F) was the 18th, when the temperature peaked at 31.2 Celsius (88F). There were 11 days with maxima between 25 and 30 Celsius (77-86F), with 7 of those warmer days occurring between the 7th and 14th. No especially cool days occurred during July, however, on 8 days the temperature failed to rise above 23 Celsius (73F). The 25th and 26th were 2 of the somewhat less warm days, with the first few days of the month accounting for the remaining 6 days. The coolest days were the 2nd and 3rd with maxima of 20.5 Celsius (69F), and also the 1st. On this day, the maximum temperature was 19.2 Celsius (67F).

There were several warm nights during July, none more so than the 19th, when a minimum of 22.9 Celsius (73F) was recorded. This was the warmest July night in the area for at least 140 years, and during much of the night the temperature hovered between 25 and 26 Celsius (77-79F). No other minima were close to this value, but on 5 nights the minimum temperature was between 18.0 and 18.2 Celsius (64-65F). On most days (16) the minima were between 13 and 17 Celsius (55-63F), but there were a few cooler days. However, only 2 days had minimum temperatures below 12 Celsius (54F). On the 1st, a low of 10.8 Celsius (51F) occurred, and on the 3rd, the temperature dipped to 10.7 Celsius (51F).

The sea temperature was 19 Celsius (66F) at the beginning of the month, rising to 20 Celsius (68F) by mid month, with 20 or 21 Celsius (68-70F) then maintained for the remainder of the month.

Frost

There was no frost in Shoreham during July. The lowest grass temperature was 10.0 Celsius (50F), recorded on the 1st, 3rd and 10th.

Rain

Rainfall in July amounted to 8.6 millimetres (0.34 ins.), which was less than 20% of average for the month. Overall, it was the driest July in the area for 12 years. Measurable rain fell on 4 days, which was 6 days below the average, and wet days (when 1 millimetre (0.04 ins.), or more, of rain falls) numbered 2, and that was also 6 days below the average. Although there was a heavy shower in the early hours of the 1st, the resulting rain was before 0900 hours UTC, and therefore added to the total for the preceding month. Otherwise, the first 16 days of the month were dry. Short bursts of heavy rain overnight on the 17th/18th gave 1.8 millimetres (0.07 ins.), and further showery rain on the evening of the 19th added 0.8 millimeters (0.03 ins.) to the total. Showery rain occurred again from late morning until early afternoon on the 22nd. This added 5.8 millimetres (0.23 ins.) to the monthly total. The only other measurable rain was the 0.2 millimetres (0.01 ins.) that fell overnight on the 24th/25th.

Hail

No hail was observed in this part of Shoreham.

Thunder

Thunderstorms occurred on 3 days during July. There was thunder and lightning to the west for 40 minutes on the evening of the 17th. A few rumbles of thunder occurred early to mid evening on the 19th, and finally, there was thunder late morning and early afternoon on the 22nd.

Snow

No sleet or snow occurred in Shoreham.

Wind

Pressure was higher than average across southern Britain, but with the centres usually positioned to the south of the country, it meant winds were predominantly from between southwest and northwest, with breezes from these quadrants accounting for over half of the daily readings. On about a quarter of the days, winds were mainly between southeast and northeast, with the remainder of the days having light and variable winds. Generally, winds were light, but southwesterly sea breezes were moderate or fresh at times in the afternoons, especially in the first and third weeks. At Shoreham Airport, there was a gust of 33 knots (38 mph) from the west-southwest early on the evening of the 19th as a cold front pushed the hot air eastwards into the continent, and southwesterly gusts of 30 to 31 knots (34-35 mph) occurred on the morning of the 25th; but these were the only gusts above 30 knots (34 mph) during July.

Fog

No fog was observed in this part of Shoreham.

A heavy shower on the afternoon of the 1st gave 3.0 millimetres (0.1 ins.) but the 2nd was dry day. However, the following 7 days each had measurable rainfall, with daily totals of 5.8, 4.8, 10.6 and 7.4 millimetres (0.2.0.2.0.4 and 0.3 ins.) on the 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th respectively.

Wind

Pressure was higher than average across southern Britain, but with the centres usually positioned to the south of the country, it meant winds were predominantly from between southwest and northwest, with breezes from these quadrants accounting for well over half of the daily readings. Although there were no particularly strong winds, sea breeze enhancement gave several cool and blustery afternoons at the beginning and end of the month, with the lightest winds generally occurring around mid month. At Shoreham Airport, a squally gust of 36 knots (41 mph) from the southwest occurred on the afternoon of the 8th. On the 18th, thundery weather in the evening, was accompanied by rapid rises and falls of pressure along with some notable downdraughts from a northerly direction (although the storms were tracking in from the south). The highest gusts recorded were 37 knots (42 mph) early and mid evening. No further gusts above 30 knots (34 mph) occurred, but several afternoons at the beginning and end of June had southwesterly gusts between 25 and 30 knots (29-33 mph).

Apart from on the 7th, when a grass minimum of minus 1.7 Celsius (29F) occurred, all the grass frosts were logged between the 14th and 25th. On most of these ground frost nights (6) the grass frost was slight with minima higher than minus 2 Celsius (28F).

High pressure was dominant during much of March with pressure readings some 7 millibars above the March average. As a result, winds were much lighter than usual, and only 1 day, the 14th, had winds from the ‘prevailing’ southwesterly direction. On most days (17) winds blew from between south and east, but occasionally there were northwest or northeast winds, these mostly occurring at either end of the month.

On 8 nights the grass frost was slight with minimum temperatures higher than minus 2 Celsius (28F), but on 4 occasions the grass temperature dipped below minus 3 Celsius (27F). The lowest value was minus 4.4 Celsius (24F) on the 5th, with minus 3.9 Celsius (25F) measured on the 11th.

Rain

Rainfall in February amounted to 59.0 millimetres (2.3 ins.), which was around average for the month. Measurable rain fell on 16 days, which was 1 day below the average, and wet days (when 1 millimetre (0.04 ins.), or more, of rain falls) numbered 13, and that was close to 2 days above the average. The first 2 days of February were dry, but 5 days of changeable weather followed. Much of the rain was light, but 5 millimetres (0.2 ins.) were recorded on the 6th. Only 1 millimetre (0.04 ins.) of rain fell between the 8th and 12th, but very unsettled weather followed, resulting in some quite heavy rainfall. On the 13th, at total of 13.0 millimetres (0.5 ins.) fell, with a further 11 millimetres (0.4 ins.) on the 15th. Another 6.8 millimetres (0.3 ins.) fell on the 19th, and between the 13th and 24th there were no completely dry days. The 25th was dry, along with the following 2 days, but the month ended wet with 4.6 millimetres (0.2 ins.) occurring on the ‘rain day’ which ended at 0900 UTC on March 1st.

Hail

Small hail was observed in 2 showers that occurred early in the afternoon on the 24th.

Thunder

No thunder was heard in this part of Shoreham.

Snow

No sleet or snow was observed in Shoreham.

Wind

In marked contrast to January, February was a windy month with the exception of the second week and the last few days of February. On most days (24) the wind blew from between southwest and northwest, the exceptions being the 13th, when south to southeasterly winds dominated, the 25th, when winds were light and variable, and the 26th and 27th, when east to southeasterly winds prevailed. On several days winds were strong to gale force, most notably just after mid month in association with storms Dudley and Eunice. At Shoreham Airport, southwesterly gusts, just ahead of a cold front, reached 34 knots (39 mph) late in the morning on the 4th. The 5th was a very blustery day, with westerly wind gusts peaking at 40 knots (46 mph) late in the morning. The evening of the 13th was windy with south to southwesterly gusts reaching 36 knots (41 mph). On the afternoon of the 15th southwesterly winds gusted to 33 knots (38 mph) and southwesterlies reached 38 knots (43 mph) on the following day. The morning of the 17th was breezy with 31 knots (35 mph), but the following day was very windy with severe gales from the southwest. Gusts of over 40 knots (46 mph) frequently occurred between mid morning and early evening, with the highest gusts of 61 knots (70 mph) and 62 knots (71 mph) occurring at 1300 and 1200 hours respectively. It stayed windy into the 19th, and in the afternoon southwesterly gusts peaked at 44 knots (50 mph). The 20th was very windy again, with west to northwesterly gusts reaching 59 knots (67 mph) in the evening. There was barely any let up on the 21st, with westerly gusts as high as 49 knots (56 mph) in the late morning. On the 22nd it was just breezy, with the southwesterly gusts around midday only reaching 33 knots (38 mph). On the morning of the 24th southwesterly gusts of 37 knots (42 mph) occurred, but it was the last windy day of the month.

Fog

The 7th was misty in the evening and the 16th was misty for much of the day, but no fog was observed from this part of Shoreham.

Weather in Shoreham – January 2022

Rather Mild and Dry

Temperatures

The average maximum temperature during January 2022 in Shoreham was 8.9 Celsius (48F), and that was almost 1 Celsius (1.5F) above normal for the time of year. The average minimum temperature was 3.4 Celsius (38F), and that was very slightly below the January average.

The highest temperature recorded during the month was 13.4 Celsius (56F) on the 1st, but there were several other very mild days. On the 29th, a maximum of 12.9 Celsius (55F) was recorded, and a further 8 days had maxima above 10 Celsius (50F). On many days (12) the temperature rose to between 8 and 10 Celsius (46-50F) but there were some cooler days. However, only 3 days had maxima below 6 Celsius (43F). The 21st and 24th had highs of 5.9 and 5.7 Celsius (43 and 42F) respectively, but the coldest day of the month was the 25th with a maximum temperature of 4.3 Celsius (40F).

There were very few mild nights during January, but on the 1st a minimum of 10.8 Celsius (51F) occurred, and the 2nd was even milder with a low of 11.1 Celsius (52F). Perhaps surprisingly, there were only 5 other nights with minima above 5 Celsius (41F), with just 1 of those milder nights occurring between the 5th and 28th. There were 9 nights with lows between 2 and 4 Celsius (36-39F), but on many nights (12) the minimum was around freezing, with lowest values between minus 1 and plus 2 Celsius (30-36F). The coldest night of the month was the 6th, with a minimum of minus 2.2 Celsius (28F), but minus 1.9 Celsius (28F) occurred on the 18th.

The sea temperature was around 10 Celsius (50F) at first, but for much of the month it stayed close to 9 Celsius (48F), and it was nearer 8 Celsius (46F) during the last week of January.

Frost

A total of 6 air frosts occurred during January, close to the monthly average, but with the exception of the 6th and 18th, the frosts were very slight with minimum temperatures less than 1 degree Celsius (1.8F) below freezing. On 3 consecutive nights, the 13th, 14th and 15th, there was a slight air frost. Grass frost occurred on 16 nights, and that was 4 nights above average. Most of the grass frosts (13) occurred between the 5th and 22nd, including 5 consecutive nights commencing on the 5th, and 3 consecutive nights beginning on the 13th, and again on the 20th. On many nights the grass minimum was not far below freezing, but there were exceptions. On the 18th a low of minus 5.6 Celsius (22F) was recorded, and on the 6th a grass temperature of minus 6.7 Celsius (20F) was measured.

Rain

Rainfall in January amounted to 41.4 millimetres (1.6 ins.), which was around 20% below average for the month. Measurable rain fell on 13 days, which was about 7 days below the average, and wet days (when 1 millimetre (0.04 ins.), or more, of rain falls) numbered 9, and that was close to 5 days under the average. The month began quite wet with 3.6 millimetres (0.1 ins.) measured on the 1st, and a further 7.4 millimetres (0.3 ins.) on the 2nd. After a dry day on the 3rd, another 3.4 millimetres (0.1 ins.) were recorded on the 4th. A dry day on the 5th, was followed by a continuance of the unsettled spell that yielded rain on 5 of the following 6 days. Much of the rain was light, but 5.4 millimetres (0.2 ins.) fell on the 7th, and the 8th proved to be the wettest day of the month with 12.4 millimetres (0.5 ins.) of rain measured. Pressure rose during the 10th, and from the 11th to the 29th, apart from on 15th, the pressure remained above 1030 millibars, and on 4 days it was over 1040 millibars. It resulted in the pressure for the month being 12 millibars above average. As a result, rainfall during the last 3 weeks of January was considerably below average. The weather was not entirely settled, but between the 12th and the end of the month there were only 3.4 millimetres (0.1 ins.) of rain, with only 1 day, the 15th, having over 1 millimetre (0.04 ins.) of rain, and that was a mere 1.2 millimetres (0.05 ins.).

Hail

No hail was observed in this part of Shoreham.

Thunder

No thunder was heard in this part of Shoreham.

Snow

No sleet or snow was observed in Shoreham.

Wind

With high pressure dominating the weather for much of the month, winds were much lighter than normal and, with the centre of high pressure generally to the west of the country, winds were predominantly from a northwesterly direction. Unusually, winds from the ‘prevailing’ southwesterly direction accounted for less than 20% of the daily observations. Southwesterly winds were rare even in the unsettled weather at the beginning of the month, although during that period winds were quite strong at times. At Shoreham Airport, southwesterly winds were quite strong from the afternoon of the 2nd until mid-morning on the 3rd. A gust of 32 knots (36 mph) was recorded in the evening on the 2nd, and a gust of 30 knots (34 mph) occurred mid-morning on the 3rd. North to northwesterly winds gusted to 31 knots (35 mph) early in the afternoon on the 4th, and southwesterly gusts reached 34 knots (39 mph) on the evening of the 6th. Southwesterly winds gusted to 34 knots (39 mph) again on the afternoon of the 8th. No more strong winds occurred until the 31st, when the remnants of ‘Storm Malik’, which caused damage and loss of life in northern Britain and parts of continental Europe, reached southern England. However, although the morning was blustery, the highest gust (from the northwest) was only 38 knots (43 mph).

Fog

The 11th was a very misty day, but the only fog occurred on the morning of the 11th. It was freezing fog, but it lifted and dispersed soon after mid-morning.

Weather in Shoreham – December 2021

Mild and Damp

Temperatures

The average maximum temperature during December 2021 in Shoreham was 9.9 Celsius (50F), and that over 0.5 Celsius (1F) above normal for the time of year. The average minimum temperature was 6.4 Celsius (44F), and that was more than 1.5 Celsius (>2F) above the December average.

The highest temperature recorded during the month was 13.2 Celsius (56F) on the 29th, but 12.2 Celsius (54F) was recorded on both the 30th and 31st, and 14 further days had highs above 10 Celsius (50F), including 7 days with maxima above 11 Celsius (52F). There were 7 consecutive days, beginning on the 11th, with highs above 10 Celsius (50F), and 7 out of the last 8 days of December also had maxima above 10 Celsius (50F). The exception was on the 25th when a high of 9.8 Celsius (50F) was recorded. No cold days occurred during December. On 4 occasions the temperature stayed below 7 Celsius (45F), including 3 out of the 4 days between the 19th and 22nd. However, only 1 of the colder days had a maximum below 6 Celsius (43F). That was on the 2nd, when a high of 5.7 Celsius (42F) was measured.

There were many mild nights during December. On both the 30th and 31st minima of 11.4 Celsius (53F) occurred, and during the second week there were 3 nights with minima above 10 Celsius (50f). A further 9 nights had minima between 8 and 10 Celsius (46-50F), with these mild nights mainly clustered around the middle and end of the month. There were no particularly cold nights, although on 6 occasions minima were below 3 Celsius (37F). Only 1 of these colder nights occurred after the 11th. On the 22nd a minimum of 1.2 Celsius (34F) was recorded. A low of 0.4 Celsius (32F) occurred on the 11th, but the other 5 chilly nights all occurred during the first week of December. On the 7th, a minimum of 0.3 Celsius (32F) was measured, but the coldest night of the month was the 3rd with a minimum of minus 0.6 Celsius (31F).

The sea temperature was around 10 or 11 Celsius (50-52F) throughout the month.

Frost

There was only 1 air frost during December, that occurred on the 3rd, but 6 grass frosts occurred. Unsurprisingly, most of the lowest grass temperatures occurred on the same nights as the lowest air temperatures. Lowest values on the grass were minus 4.4 Celsius (24F) on both the 3rd and 22nd, and minus 5.0 Celsius (23F) on the night of the 7th.

Rain

Rainfall in December amounted to 95.4 millimetres (3.8 ins.), which was slightly below average for the month. Measurable rain fell on 20 days, which was about the average, and wet days (when 1 millimetre (0.04 ins.), or more, of rain falls) numbered 15, and that was also close to the average. Rain fell on each of the first 9 days of the month. Some of the rain was heavy and totalled over 50 millimetres (2 ins.). The largest daily totals were 8.8 millimetres (0.35 ins.) on the 6th, 21.4 millimetres (0.8 ins.) on the 7th, and 11 millimetres (0.4 ins.) on the 9th. Thereafter, pressure rose and rain amounts decreased. Between the 10th and 23rd, only 7 millimetres (0.3 ins.) of rain fell, and that included a fall of 4 millimetres (0.16 ins.) on the 11th. In fact, between the 15th and 22nd there was no measurable rain. By way of contrast, each of the last 9 days of the month had some rain, and the festive period was particularly damp and dreary. On the 24th, nearly 13 millimetres (0.5 ins.) of rain fell, with over 8 millimetres (0.3 ins.) recorded on both the 25th and 26th.

Hail

No hail was observed in this part of Shoreham.

Thunder

No thunder was heard in this part of Shoreham.

Snow

No sleet or snow was observed in Shoreham.

Wind

Winds were between southwest and northwest, and often quite strong, during the first 10 days of December, but then high pressure dominated for a while with lighter winds, and a brief spell of northeast winds after mid month. A return of fresh or strong west to southwesterly winds occurred towards the end of the month. At Shoreham Airport, a windy start to the month saw southwesterlies gust to 34 knots (39 mph) soon after midnight on the 1st. Northwesterly winds gusted to 31 knots (35 mph) just before dawn on the 5th, but on the afternoon of the 7th it was southeasterlies that became strong with gusts of 42 knots (48 mph) recorded. A vigorous trough of low pressure was responsible for the strong winds, and the southwesterlies following the passage of the trough became strong overnight, with 42 knots (48 mph) recorded in the early hours of the 8th. The northwesterlies returned early on the 10th with a gust of 35 knots (40 mph) measured, but then high pressure was dominant, and the next strong winds were not until late in the month. On the 28th, southwesterly gusts reached 44 knots (50 mph) at midday, and the remainder of the month was breezy, but no further gusts exceeded 30 knots (34 mph).

Fog

There were many misty days around the middle and end of the month with low cloud cloaking the Downs. On both the 19th and 29th the cloud lowered to the surface at times to produce fog.

Weather in Shoreham – November 2021

Exceptionally Dry

Temperatures

The average maximum temperature during November 2021 in Shoreham was 11.5 Celsius (53F), and that was around normal for the time of year. The average minimum temperature was 6.0 Celsius (43F), and that was close to 1 Celsius (2F) below the November average.

The highest temperature recorded during the month was 15.8 Celsius (60F) on the 9th, but the temperature reached 15.1 Celsius (59F) on the 1st, and there were 4 more days with maxima above 14 Celsius (57F), including 3 consecutive days commencing on the 10th. A further 7 days had maxima above 13 Celsius (55F), with all of the milder days occurring before the 18th. The coolest days were mainly confined to the last 2 weeks of November. In fact, the maximum temperature of 9.4 Celsius (49F) on the 4th, was the only day with a high below 10 Celsius (50F) before the 21st. Thereafter, 7 days had maxima below 10 Celsius (50F). Only 3 of these cooler days had maxima below 7 Celsius (45F). The 27th, 28th and 29th had highs of 5.5, 4.6 and 4.6 Celsius (42 and 40F) respectively.

There were a few very mild nights during November. Of the 6 nights recording minima above 10 Celsius (50F), 5 occurred consecutively between the 9th and 13th, the exception was the 19th, which had a low of 11.3 Celsius (52F). The 9th, 10th and 12th also had minima above 11 Celsius (52F). The mildest night was the 12th with a low of 11.9 Celsius (54F), but the 9th was only 0.1 Celsius (<0.2F) less mild. The coldest nights were generally towards the end of the month. However, even though only 4 of the 14 days with minima below 5 Celsius (41F) occurred before mid month, there were 3 nights in the first fortnight, the 2nd, 5th and 8th, when the temperature dipped below 3 Celsius (37F). There were 5 other nights when the temperature fell below 3 Celsius (37F). They were the 23rd, and 4 consecutive nights beginning on the 26th. The coldest of these nights was the 29th, when minus 1.0 Celsius (30F) was recorded.

The sea temperature slowly fell from 14 or 15 Celsius (57-59F) at the beginning of November, to around 11 Celsius (52F) at end of the month.

Frost

There were 2 air frosts during November, both slight. On the 28th a minimum of minus 0.2 Celsius (<32F) was recorded with minus 1.0 Celsius (30F) measured on the following night. A total of 10 grass frosts occurred, with 5 of these during the first 3 weeks of the month, and the other 5 in the last week of November. Most of the grass frosts were very slight with the 4 grass frosts before the 18th having minima of minus 0.6 Celsius (31F). During the last week, the frosts were slightly more significant. However, only 2 nights had grass minimum temperatures below minus 2 Celsius (28F). The 26th had a minimum of minus 3.3 Celsius (26F), and the 29th had a low of minus 4.4 Celsius (24F).

Rain

Rainfall in November amounted to 6.8 millimetres (0.27 ins.), which was less than 10% of the average for the month. It would appear that November 2021 was the driest in the area for at least 187 years. Previously, the driest Novembers were those of 1901, 1945 and 1978 with Worthing totals of 8.6. 14.2 and 11.1 millimetres ( 0.34, 0.56 and 0.44 ins.) respectively. Measurable rain fell on only 6 days, which was 11 days below the average, and wet days (when 1 millimetre (0.04 ins.), or more, of rain falls) numbered 3, and that was 9 days below the average. Although just 6 of the first 11 days of the month were completely dry, measurable rain fell on only 1 day, the 8th, and then a mere 0.2 millimetres (0.01 ins.) were measured. On the 12th, a damp and drizzly day produced 1.8 millimetres (0.07 ins.) of rain, but the only measurable rain between the 13th and 25th was the 0.4 millimetres (0.02 ins.) recorded on the 16th. The last 5 days of the month were more unsettled, but of the 3 days that added to the monthly total, only the 26th and 30th recorded more than 0.2 millimetres (0.01 ins.). These 2 days accumulated 1.6 and 2.6 millimetres (0.06 and 0.1 ins.) respectively.

Hail

No hail was observed in this part of Shoreham.

Thunder

No thunder was heard in this part of Shoreham.

Snow

Light snow was followed by sleet for a while mid evening on the 28th, but the precipitation barely dampened the ground.

Wind

High pressure was dominant during November with the mean sea level pressure readings around 6 millibars above average. The highest pressure was mostly to the west or southwest of the British Isles, and that resulted in an usually high number of days with winds blowing from between north and west. In Shoreham, winds from the northwesterly quadrant accounted for two thirds of the daily readings. It was less windy than a normal autumn month. At Shoreham Airport, southwesterly gusts reached 37 knots (42 mph) in the early hours of the 1st, but no further strong winds occurred until the 12th, when southwesterlies gusted to 30 knots (34 mph) late in the morning. On the 26th, northwesterly winds gusted to 30 knots (34 mph) during the late afternoon, with 43 knots (49 mph) from a similar direction recorded on the evening of the 27th after a very windy day. The wind decreased overnight, but not before 34 knots (39 mph) occurred in the early hours of the 28th. Late on the 30th, southwesterly gusts reached 34 knots (39 mph).

Fog

There was a misty, drizzly evening on the 8th, but no fog was observed in this part of Shoreham.

Weather in Shoreham – October 2021

Very Wet and Mild

Temperatures

The average maximum temperature during October 2021 in Shoreham was 16.9 Celsius (63F), and that was over 1 Celsius (2F) above normal for the time of year. The average minimum temperature was 10.6 Celsius (51F), and that was close to 1 Celsius (2F) above the October average. It appears to have been the warmest October in the area since 2006.

The highest temperature recorded during the month was 20.4 Celsius (69F) on the 9th, but the temperature reached 19.2 Celsius (67F) on the 14th and 19.6 Celsius (68F) on the 19th. Maxima were 17 Celsius (63F), or more, on a further 14 days. Unsurprisingly, the highest temperatures generally occurred early in the month, with only 1 high above 17 Celsius after the 20th. There were no cold days during October. In fact, only 3 days had temperatures below 15 Celsius (59F). The 22nd and 23rd had highs of 14.1 Celsius (57F) and 14.8 Celsius (59F) respectively, but the coolest day of the month was on the 21st when a high of 12.8 Celsius (55F) was recorded.

There were several very mild nights during October. On the 19th, a minimum of 16.5 Celsius (62F) was recorded, and 15.7 Celsius (60F) occurred on the following night. A further 5 nights had minima above 13 Celsius (55F), with 3 of these very mild nights occurring in the last week of October. There were only a few fairly cold nights. Although 13 nights had lows under 10 Celsius (50F), only 5 had minima below 7 Celsius (45F), and just 1 dipped below 6 Celsius (43F). That was on the 22nd, when the temperature fell to 3.4 Celsius (38F).

The sea temperature slowly fell from 18 Celsius (64F) at the beginning of October, to 14 or 15 Celsius (57-59F) at the end of the month.

Frost

No air frost occurred during October, but there was a grass frost on the 22nd with the temperature falling to minus 0.6 Celsius (31F). The next lowest grass temperature was 2.8 Celsius (37F) recorded on both the 11th and 12th.

Rain

Rainfall in October amounted to 187.4 millimetres (7.4 ins.) which was around double the average for the month. Although wetter in October last year, this year it was probably amongst the top ten wettest Octobers during the last 100 years. Measurable rain fell on 20 days, which was 2 days above the average, and wet days (when 1 millimetre (0.04 ins.), or more, of rain falls) numbered 12, and that was 1 day below the average. The month began very wet, with 28.2 millimetres (1.1 ins.) of rain falling on the 2nd, a further 13 millimetres (0.5 ins.) on the 3rd, followed by 33.4 millimetres (1.3 ins.) on the 4th. A relatively dry spell occurred between the 5th and 17th with only 2.2 millimetres (<0.1 ins.) of rain measured. However, another very wet interlude yielded 10.8 millimetres (0.4 ins.) on the 18th, followed by 22.8 millimetres (0.9 ins.) on the 19th, and in turn the wettest day of the month: on the 20th, a total of 36.4 millimetres (1.4 ins.) was measured. After 3 completely dry days, the unsettled weather resumed, and although amounts of rain were initially small, there were over 33 millimetres (1.3 ins.) in the 3 days beginning on the 28th, with the largest total of 12.8 millimetres (0.5 ins.) occurring on the 30th.

Hail

No hail was observed in this part of Shoreham.

Thunder

No thunder was heard in this part of Shoreham.

Snow

No sleet or snow was observed this month in Shoreham.

Wind

High pressure was dominant from the end of the first week of October to the beginning of the third week. During this period, winds were mainly light, otherwise, Atlantic westerlies prevailed, with winds from between southwest and northwest and often quite strong. At Shoreham Airport, the month began with southwesterly winds gusting over 35 knots (40 mph), with a peak gust of 37 knots (42 mph) occurring just after dawn.
