Abbey, Swale: Weather & Climate
Weather and climate
Abbey is in the Faversham area of Kent, where you'll get drier and sunnier weather than most of the UK. Summers are getting warmer and winters bring the occasional sharp frost.
Kent has less rainfall than the national average, which means gardens and older properties — including those in the Faversham conservation area — don't need as much damp-proofing as homes in wetter regions. The trade-off is that drier summers mean you'll need to think about garden irrigation. If you have clay soils, watch out for shrinkage and shifting during prolonged heat.
Air quality scores 94.7 out of 100, so you can enjoy outdoor living comfortably all year. Winters are usually mild but can turn cold quickly, so check heating systems in older homes before winter arrives.
