The weather in Ingoldmells can usually be described as mild. The village sits on the east coast of England in Lincolnshire, not far from Skegness. The UK receives all four seasons with no extremes of temperature and moderate rainfall year round. It has a temperate maritime climate which is controlled mostly by the North Atlantic. The moderating influence of the surrounding sea causes winters to be warmer and summers cooler than might be expected. Ingoldmellsâ position on the east of England provides it considerable protection from the prevailing southwest winds which bring heavy rainfall to the west coast and stormy weather in the winter.
Summer, from June till July, is warm and relatively sunny. The average high temperature reaches 18°C in June, 20°C in July and 21°C in August, then reduces slightly back to 18°C in September. Night times can be very cool, dropping about 10°C from the daytime high, so you might need an extra layer in the evenings. Sunshine levels are good for the UK, reaching and average of seven hours per day in June, reducing to six for the peak months and getting down to five in September. Swimming in the North Sea can be a bit of a trial as it peaks at a brisk 16°C in August. Light showers can be expected quite frequently. Remember: there is no predicting a British summer!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Autumn, in October and November, is cool, wet and grey. The average high temperature drops to 14°C in October and 10°C in November, with the average low dropping to 5°C and 4°C respectively. While it can be quite warm on a sunny day in October, sunny days are hard to come by. It can drop below freezing from the middle of the season and frosts become quite common. Sunshine levels drop to three hours per day in October and only two in November. Water temperature gets down cold quite quickly, hitting 9°C in November.
Winter, from December till February, is pretty upsetting. Itâs chilly and interminably wet and the sun makes little effort to break the gloom. The average high temperature falls to 6°C in December and January, rising to 8°C in February, and the average low falls to 2°C, getting back to 3°C in February. It falls below freezing regularly and even in the day temperatures can hover close to 0°C. A cold sea wind can make it feel even colder. Sunshine levels remain at two hours per day as the clouds refuse to clear away. Technically, rainfall levels drop, but you wouldnât know it. An insipid drizzle falls on about twenty days per month, at least during the first two thirds of the season. Disgusting.
Spring, from March till May, heats up slowly but does become much brighter. The average high temperature creeps to 10°C in March, 12°C in April and 15°C in May. The average low gets up to 3°C, 5°C and 7°C respectively. Generally it is very cool in the day and cold at night. Sunshine levels increase to four hours per day in March and reach six hours per day in May. It continues to rain frequently and the sea does not warm up enough to swim in.
