Looking at the live forecast above, you’ll see the pattern for the coming days. The Met Office outlook for Petersfield often reflects the town’s inland position, which can mean cooler mornings and a higher chance of mist compared to the coast.

How does the local geography affect the weather here?
Petersfield sits in the valley of the River Rother, flanked by the South Downs to the south and the Hampshire Downs to the north. This can trap cloud and moisture, making for misty starts that clear by midday. Unlike cities such as Birmingham, the town can get notably cooler overnight.
