Very Dry and Warm
Temperatures
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.

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.
