St John's, Tendring: Weather & Climate
Weather and climate
St John's is in north Essex near Colchester, where you'll find drier and sunnier weather than much of the UK. Being close to the coast brings cooler breezes and the occasional sharp frost in winter.
This part of Essex gets around 600mm of rainfall a year — well below the UK average of roughly 885mm. Summers are warm and relatively dry. Winters are cold but not extreme, though ground frost is common between November and March.
The drier conditions mean less risk of damp in properties. However, prolonged dry spells can affect the clay-heavy soils that are common here, which can cause seasonal ground movement. Check a property's foundations and drainage before you buy.
