Packed beaches expected as temperatures warm in Sussex

With Sussex's proud title as the sunniest part of the UK, it is no wonder it is such a popular place for beachgoers from further afield.

And balmy temperatures of up to 21 degrees today (Sunday, May 8) are inviting hundreds to travel to the coast to bask in the warm spring sun.

Eastbourne's Beachy Head car park is full, according to reports, as a kite-flying event takes off and some free parking is available at West Wittering for those attending the Ukrainian Mothers Day picnic event from 1pm

Looking to the week ahead, Sussex is facing a sun-packed week with temperatures around 16 degrees from Monday though to Friday.
