Yeldham, Braintree: Weather & Climate
Weather and climate
Yeldham is in north Essex, where it's drier and sunnier than most of England. Summers are getting warmer, and winters bring occasional sharp frosts you'll need to plan for.
Essex is one of the driest counties in the UK. You'll get well below the national average rainfall, which makes day-to-day living easier but means your garden needs more attention during dry summers. Long dry spells can also affect the clay-heavy soils common around here, potentially causing ground movement beneath foundations.
Summers are warming up noticeably. If you're buying an older property, especially in the Great Yeldham or Toppesfield conservation areas, keep this in mind. Retrofitting cooling or insulation in these areas comes with more restrictions.
