The coastal town, a popular spot for residents and visitors alike, saw periods of sunshine give way to cloudier skies, with some intermittent light rainfall.
Temperatures in Shoreham have remained relatively mild for this time of year, generally fluctuating between 8 and 12 degrees Celsius.

These conditions are fairly typical for the south coast of England during this period, avoiding any extreme highs or lows.
While no specific severe weather warnings were issued for Shoreham itself during this 24-hour window, the Met Office consistently advises residents across the UK to remain vigilant and check local forecasts, especially as weather patterns can be localised and change rapidly.
