Squirrels Heath, Havering: Weather & Climate
Weather and climate
Squirrels Heath is in east London with good air quality year-round and a climate typical of the Thames Estuary region. The conservation area here adds character to the neighbourhood, but it does come with maintenance responsibilities you'll need to factor in.
Rainfall is lower than the UK average, and summers have been getting drier whilst winters have turned milder in recent years. This drier trend can affect older properties — clay soils shrink more, which puts pressure on foundations and drainage systems.
Part of Squirrels Heath falls within the Gidea Park conservation area. If your property's in this zone, you'll face restrictions on external changes. That means upkeep costs can be higher when you need to use matching materials.
Air quality scores well across all measured pollutants and sits comfortably within WHO guidelines. It's a genuinely clean area to live in day-to-day.
