Blackpool Weather in August

This beautiful seaside resort enjoys the last month of its summer season in August, the second warmest month in Blackpool by only the tiniest of margins.

As children in the United Kingdom enjoy the last part of their summer holiday from school, be prepared for larger crowds on the beach helped of course by the higher temperatures you can enjoy throughout the month.

You can expect an average temperature of 16°C all month long, which will feel very pleasant especially when you see those average high temperatures of 19°C.

Even though there may be average low temperatures of 12°C, compared to the rest of the year, these temperatures are extremely good.

It's a time for strolling on the beach, wearing t-shirts, and eating ice cream.

Sea Temperature in Blackpool in August 

The best thing about this month is the year-long peak in the average sea temperatures, which hit 17°C.

This makes it the best time to go swimming if you want to take a dip!

This is by no means a necessity, as there is so much fun to be had on the beach with other entertainments that you may not feel the pull of the sea.

Rain 

Although the month is one of the resort's warmest, it receives a significant amount of rain. It averages around 15mm of precipitation throughout the month and has an average of 17 rainy days. This makes it really a normal month for the seaside resort: neither the rainiest nor the driest part of the season.

Blackpool 25 day weather forecast 

It's always important to keep an eye on the Blackpool  weather forecast, which will allow you to dress appropriately for the day and will prevent you getting caught out in the rain without an umbrella.
