Annual Water Temperature Trend

Swalecliffe is a small coastal locality on the north Kent coast of England, sitting between the towns of Whitstable and Herne Bay. The shoreline is largely shingle with some sandy stretches exposed at low tide and a simple promenade and slipways for access to the water. Because it lies on the Thames Estuary/North Sea transition, sea temperatures are cool for much of the year and vary seasonally. Typical winter surface temperatures are around 6–9 °C, spring temperatures generally rise from about 8–14 °C, summer months commonly see 15–20 °C at their warmest, and autumn usually brings a decline to roughly 11–16 °C. These values are approximate and change with weather, tides and longer-term seasonal variation.
