What is the outlook for Alton this week?
The live forecast above points to a largely dry start to the week over Alton, though an Atlantic front may bring patchy rain by midweek. Temperatures will stay close to the seasonal average for inland Hampshire. For a longer view, check our 10-day forecast and the Met Office weather for Alton for hourly updates.
How does Alton’s inland location affect its weather?
Alton lies roughly 20 miles from the Hampshire coast, so the sea’s moderating influence arrives diluted. In summer, the town can be a few degrees warmer than coastal spots like Portsmouth; in winter, frost forms more readily, especially in the valley floors. The South Downs to the south provide a slight rain shadow effect during south-westerly winds, but showers can still build over the hills.
Is the weather in Alton the same as at Alton Towers?
No. Alton, Hampshire is a market town, while Alton Towers is a theme park in Staffordshire, over 150 miles north. You can find the weather for Birmingham which is closer to Alton Towers, or check weather in Alton Towers tomorrow separately.
