Weather in Midhurst by Met Office Radar BBC Weather & PA Weather

Situated in the Rother Valley between Blackdown and the Surrey Hills to the north and the Southdowns to the south, Midhurst has a distinctive and different weather to Haslemere and Chichester. It's something to do with being in the rain-shadow of the surrounding hills. So, when you calculate what the weather is likely to be in Midhurst on a particular day bear in mind the weather station on which the BBC Forecast is based is 25 kms away and doesn't take account of the distinctive local conditions.

As a general rule Midhurst is a lot drier than Haslemere and enjoys a benign climate with a tendency to hot dry summers and winters which are warm and almost snow free.

Visitors from other parts of the country or from abroad can generally take comfort from the fact that the weather will be kinder in Midhurst than elsewhere.

Of course, this does pose a problem for Midhurst. We experience hose pipe bans earlier than elsewhere, although this is as much to do with the distribution network of Southern Water which often includes depleted East Sussex Reservoirs dependent on surface water supplies.

In a dry period in summer you'll notice the potato fields being watered by pumps drawing supplies direct from the River Rother.

But it's partly Midhurst Weather which helps makes the Town and outlying villages so attractive to incomers relocating from London and elsewhere. See Best Place to Live in England.
