Brighton
England's most photogenic seaside town — Regency architecture, pebble beach, the Pavilion, the Lanes. Train from London 50 min. When Europe melts at 42°C, Brighton sits at 24°C with a breeze.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.The English Channel is cold (sea peaks at 18°C in late August) but the south-coast climate is the warmest in the UK — Brighton routinely beats inland England by 2–3°C and has the most sunshine hours of any English city. June, July, August deliver 22–25°C with the occasional heatwave producing 30°C+. September is mild and quiet.
