According to www.visitfyldecoast.info the Fylde Coast is sheltered behind Ireland and the Isle of Man, and often enjoys its own weather – or so its many fans believe!
Certainly, from Lytham to Fleetwood, the coastal area often enjoys fine weather, even when there is a rainy forecast for the general area! It’s often a lot milder at the coast in winter than it is inland, and keen gardeners note that bedding plants can survive for years in a sheltered spot.
We all love talking about the weather, so to be extra well informed, and to make the best of every hour of sunshine, check out these websites for live webcams, local forecasts, and even the tide times.
