How does the coastal position affect the forecast here?
Being on the coast means East Preston sees milder winters and cooler summers than places further inland. Sea fog can drift in during spring, and a south-westerly wind often brings rainbands in from the Atlantic. The live forecast above will flag any sudden changes in wind direction or visibility.
Is it often windy in East Preston?

Does East Preston get less rain than nearby towns?
East Preston sits in one of the drier parts of the UK thanks to the rain shadow of the South Downs. It still gets its share of wet days, especially in autumn and winter, but totals are often lower than places north of the Downs.
When is the best time to visit East Preston?
Late spring and early summer usually bring the best balance of warmth and dry weather. The live forecast above is worth a quick look before you travel, as coastal spells can break suddenly with a change of wind.
