What is the outlook for Lindfield today?
The live forecast above gives the most accurate picture for Lindfield’s immediate weather, but generally this part of Mid Sussex sees a mix of cloud and bright spells typical of southeastern England. With the village sitting in the upper Ouse valley, mist and fog can linger on autumn and winter mornings, often clearing by late morning. The South Downs to the south can also influence rainfall, with showers sometimes intensifying as they cross higher ground before reaching Lindfield.
