How does the coastline affect conditions here?
West Mersea sits on the south coast of Mersea Island, surrounded by tidal creeks and salt marshes. The North Sea influence keeps winter lows milder than inland Essex, but can also bring sea fog in spring. Summer highs are tempered by a south-westerly breeze off the estuary.
