Weather in Brighton

Best time to visit

During the school summer holidays (July and August) Brighton is packed. While this might not be ideal for things like parking and last-minute restaurant reservations, high summer is certainly when the city is at its most lively. May is another busy month, as thousands flock to Brighton for The Great Escape and the Brighton Festival. For a chance of sunny days without giant crowds, September is a lovely time to visit. And while the seafront is a chilly and rather subdued place during winter months, North Laine and The Lanes twinkle with festive cheer in the run up to Christmas.
