The live forecast above gives you the precise temperature and wind speed you need for your morning commute or a walk along the River Medway. Because Me8 sits near the north Kent coast, conditions can change quickly – especially when a sea breeze picks up.
How does Me8’s location affect the forecast?
Me8 covers Gillingham and Rainham, Kent, and its proximity to the Thames Estuary means the local weather is often a few degrees cooler than inland Kent towns. Fog can form in autumn and winter, particularly around dawn.

Day 1-3 accuracy is typically high (around 85-90%) for temperature and general conditions. By day 5-7, confidence decreases, especially for exact rainfall timing. For the latest bbc news on weather warnings in the South East, the Met Office and BBC Weather are the most reliable sources.
