Summer holiday makers should always bear in mind that England's climate is notoriously changeable, and so whilst you would be unlucky to get an entire week of rain in Eastbourne, in would certainly not be unheard of to experience heavy showers with little warning. However, damp mornings can quickly brighten up, so don't be too alarmed if the start of your days is a little overcast.

Seasonal Climate Variations / When to Go

May is a very popular month in Eastbourne, with the bank holiday weekends at either end of the month seeing crowds flocking to the beach. The climate in May is known for being really rather sunny and hot for at least two or three weeks, and so a holiday at this time of the year can prove to be something of an unexpected scorcher.

September seems to be turning milder each year as global warming starts to become more apparent. By the end of October, the daylight hours have reduced dramatically, and when the clocks go back you can expect it to be getting quite dark by 17:00. Winter is a surprisingly pleasant time to visit Eastbourne, if you choose your day well. Sunny winter spells are perfect for a seaside walk, and the beaches are often completely deserted. Be sure to wrap up well though, as winter sea breezes can be strong and chilling.
