How does Rustington’s coastal position affect its weather?
Rustington sits just inland from the Sussex coast, between Littlehampton and Worthing. That means sea breezes often moderate summer heat and keep winter frosts less severe than in inland villages. The English Channel can also bring sudden cloud and drizzle, especially when winds turn south-westerly – a pattern the met office weather rustington updates track closely.
