When is the best time to visit Brighton for decent weather?
Late May to mid-September offers the warmest and driest conditions, with July and August averaging 20–22°C. Sea breezes keep it comfortable, but pack a light jacket even in summer. Spring and early autumn are quieter and still pleasant, though you’ll want layers and a waterproof for the changeable spells that often roll in from the Channel.
What should I pack for a trip to Brighton?
Layers are essential year-round. In summer, bring a windproof jacket and sunglasses; the sun can be strong even when it’s cool. For autumn and winter, a warm coat, scarf and sturdy shoes are wise. Rain is possible any month, so a compact umbrella never goes amiss. School holidays (especially August) mean busier seafronts, so book accommodation early if travelling then.
