Planning a trip to Margate? Here’s a 7-day weather forecast to help you prepare for your seaside escape to Margate for the next week.
MARGATE WEATHERWhen is the best time of year to visit Margate?
In short, any time of year is a good time to visit Margate!
Spring in Margate (March–May) Spring in Margate is when the town begins to wake up from its winter slumber. Expect milder days with average temperatures ranging from 9°C in March to around 15°C by May. It’s a great time for beach strolls, coastal path walks, and exploring Margate Old Town without the summer crowds. Pack a light jacket because sunny spells are common, but so are spring showers.
Summer holidays in Margate (June–August) is the warmest time of year, ideal for beach days (why not build a sandcastle?) and outdoor dining… Daytime highs regularly reach 22–26°C, and sunny days draw locals and visitors to the golden sands of Margate Main Sands. It’s perfect weather for beach days, fish and chips al fresco, and enjoying events like the Margate Soul Festival or one of Margate’s legendary sunsets.
Autumn in Margate (September-November) Early autumn often brings an “Indian summer” with warm, calm days in September. A great time to book the AirBnB for a long weekend. By late October and November, it becomes cooler and more unsettled, with average highs dipping to 10–15°C. It’s a lovely time to visit if you enjoy bracing coastal walks, quieter beaches, and cosy pub lunches.
Winter in Margate (December-February) Margate’s winters are chilly but rarely harsh. You’ll get fresh sea air, dramatic skies, and an atmosphere that’s perfect for slowing down. Average highs hover between 6–9°C. This is the time for quiet escapes, beach walks without the crowds, checking out some of the busier restaurants without the need to book and curling up in in the AirBnB with a movie on the 55inch TV screen.
What’s the weather like in Dreamland Margate this weekend?
If it’s sunny enjoy the vintage style rides and classic fair ground attractions. We’ve been on pretty much all of these rides and love the Whirl Around, Waltzer and Dodgems. Dreamland Margate is also home to the famous Scenic Railway wooden rollercoaster, which was orignally opened in 1920.
If it’s rainy strap on some skates and throw some shapes to excellent tunes in the retro Roller Disco. There’s also a new free roam VR gaming machine inside the retro arcade. While the kids are playing, the Roller Café serves delicious treats and refreshing drinks.
