Live forecasts update automatically; written guidance last reviewed 16 June 2026 by the Daily Press UK weather desk. Data from national met services via Open-Meteo.
As shown in the live forecast above, Burnham-on-Crouch is experiencing typical coastal conditions today, with a moderate breeze off the Essex estuary and cloud cover that may break for brief sunny spells — the most useful takeaway is to plan for a blustery but generally dry afternoon, with any rain holding off until after dusk.
What does the forecast mean for the Burnham-on-Crouch riverside?
The live forecast above indicates south-westerly winds picking up toward 15–20 mph by late morning, which can make the river choppy for small boats. Tides around Burnham-on-Crouch are semi-diurnal, so if you are heading to the quay, check tide times locally — the wind direction shown in the radar will affect how high the water rises on the saltings.
Will the temperature drop significantly overnight?
Based on the live forecast above, expect a noticeable chill after sunset as skies clear briefly, falling to around 6–8°C inland but staying a degree or two warmer right on the coast thanks to the estuary’s moderating effect. Layers and a windproof jacket are the sensible choice for evening walks along the seawall.
Is Burnham-on-Crouch prone to flooding during storm surges?
Yes, low-lying parts near the quay can flood during high spring tides combined with a strong north-westerly surge. The Environment Agency issues flood alerts for the River Crouch estuary, and bbc news often covers these events. Always check local warnings if a deep low pressure system is forecast.
How does the met office weather burnham-on-crouch compare with the live forecast above?
The Met Office provides hourly breakdowns for the same location, but the live forecast above uses a similar high-resolution model. For immediate conditions, the live radar and wind arrows are your best bet; for long-range planning the Met Office’s 5-day outlook is slightly more detailed on UV and pollen levels.
What is the most reliable source for tide times here?
Tide tables from the UK Hydrographic Office or the local harbour master are the most reliable. The live forecast above does not include tide data, so pair it with a reputable tide app or website for safe boating on the Crouch.
