What is the weather like in Burnham-on-Sea today?
Burnham-on-Sea sits on the Somerset coast, so its weather is heavily influenced by the Bristol Channel.

- Coastal showers possible at any time of year, especially when the wind is from the west or south-west.
- Temperatures are usually a degree or two cooler than inland spots like Bristol, thanks to the sea breeze.

Is Burnham-on-Sea often windy?
Yes – it is one of the windier spots in Somerset because it is exposed to the Bristol Channel. The live forecast above shows the wind speed, and a moderate breeze is common. Sheltered spots exist behind the dunes or in town.
When is the best time to visit Burnham?
Late May to early September offers the warmest sea temperatures and the lowest chance of rain. However, even in summer a westerly wind can make it feel cooler – the live forecast is your best guide before you head out.
Does the BBC forecast include tide times?
No – for tide times you need a dedicated source. The live forecast above covers weather only. For high and low water, check the Gov.uk tide tables or the local harbour website.
