The live forecast above shows the current conditions for Lee-on-the-Solent, with the outlook for the next few hours and days. This coastal Hampshire village, sitting between Gosport and Hill Head, typically sees a milder microclimate than inland areas thanks to the Solent’s moderating influence.
What is the weather like in Lee-on-the-Solent today?
Based on the live forecast above, expect a typical mix for this exposed stretch of the south coast. The sea breeze often picks up by late morning, making it feel cooler than the actual temperature, particularly along the seafront. Cloud cover can build from the west, but the area often stays drier than the South Downs just a few miles north.
How does the Solent affect local conditions?
Lee-on-the-Solent sits right on the water, so the Solent acts as a temperature buffer. Winters are slightly less cold than inland spots like Fareham, and summers rarely see the extreme heat of London. The prevailing south-westerly wind can bring frequent spells of rain, but the coast also catches more sunshine than many inland areas when the wind is light.
Is Lee-on-the-Solent usually warmer than inland Hampshire?
In winter, yes. The sea keeps overnight temperatures a few degrees higher than inland spots like Fareham or the South Downs. In summer, the sea breeze often keeps the coast cooler than inland areas during the hottest part of the day.
Does it rain a lot in Lee-on-the-Solent?
It receives around 650–700mm of rain a year, which is below the UK average. The area is often in the rain shadow of the South Downs, but frontal systems moving in from the south-west can still bring prolonged wet spells, especially in autumn and winter.
