Looking at the live forecast above, Pulborough’s weather this week is dominated by cloud and a brisk south-westerly wind, with occasional light rain moving in from the coast. Temperatures will stay near the seasonal average, making it a typical late-winter day in the Arun Valley.
What is the outlook for the next few days?
The coming days bring a familiar mix for inland West Sussex: low cloud lingering through the morning, then brightening up by midday before more drizzle arrives from the south-west. The South Downs will shelter Pulborough from the strongest winds, but expect a noticeable breeze along the A29 corridor. Overnight frost is unlikely, with lows staying above freezing.
How does the Arun Valley affect local conditions?
Pulborough sits in a river valley, so mist and low cloud tend to form overnight and can be slow to clear, especially in winter. The surrounding farmland and water meadows also keep humidity higher than on the Downs, which often leads to patchy fog during the early hours. This is a common pattern for villages along the Arun.
Will it rain in Pulborough today?
The live forecast shows a 50–60% chance of light rain this afternoon, mostly from 2pm onwards. Keep a rain jacket handy if you’re heading out near the river or walking the Downs Link path.
Is the weekend looking better?
Saturday starts dry but cloud builds by lunchtime, with showers likely by late afternoon, as reported by bbc news. Sunday sees brighter spells but still a risk of drizzle. Not a washout, but not a sun-trap either.
Why does Pulborough get so much mist?
The Arun Valley traps cold air, and the river adds moisture. Combined with nearby woodland, this creates perfect conditions for mist and low stratus, especially in calm winter mornings.
