Typical of British weather, Sussex will experience changeable conditions this week, according to the Met Office.
The rain is set to clear this evening (Tuesday), making way for bright spells on Wednesday (May 28).
From Thursday (May 29) to Saturday (May 31), heavy showers will ‘remain possible’, though temperatures will turn warmer, according to the Met Office.
Hopefully, the weather will remain dry enough for a beach or park trip at some point this week…
