Northfleet & Springhead, Gravesham: Weather & Climate
Weather and climate
Northfleet and Springhead is in north Kent, where it's drier and warmer than most of the UK, with air quality that scores well across all the key pollutants.
Kent gets less rainfall than the national average, so gardens and older properties can feel the effects of dry summers. Winters are generally mild, though frost does happen. Being close to the Thames Estuary means you'll get occasional strong winds.
Air quality here is rated good, with nitrogen dioxide and particulate levels well within WHO guidelines. That's a real bonus for spending time outdoors.
If you own a home here, the drier conditions mean you'll need to keep an eye on drainage and soil movement, particularly if you've got an older property built on clay-heavy ground.
