Climate

Worked out for one point: the average position of Islington's postcodes, near Barnsbury. Across an authority the climate can differ by a degree or two, more on high ground and by the sea.

Over 1991 to 2020, July days here averaged a high of 24°C, and February nights a low of 3°C. About 616 mm of rain fell in a year, most in October. A typical year had 19 days of air frost and 28 days above 25°C, and 15 days with 10 mm of rain or more.

Source: Met Office, HadUK-Grid climate averages for 1991 to 2020, from weather station records spread onto a grid. Rainfall, frost and summer days are for the 2 km square around the middle of Islington's homes, near Barnsbury; daily highs and lows are published for 12 km squares only, so they have been moved by the difference between the 2 km square's average temperature and the 12 km square's. These are long-term averages, not a forecast: recent years have been warmer, and a valley bottom or a hilltop in the same square can differ by a degree or two.

Worked out from the latitude and longitude of the middle of Islington's homes, near Barnsbury, in UK clock time (British Summer Time from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October), for flat ground with a clear horizon. Hills, buildings and trees make the sun appear later and set earlier, and which way the windows face decides how much of it comes in.

Earthquakes

Since 1970 the British Geological Survey has recorded 10 earthquakes of magnitude 2 or more within 50 km (31 miles) of the middle of Islington's homes, near Barnsbury; 2 of them were magnitude 3 or more. The largest was magnitude 3.1, centred near Newdigate, Surrey, 43.1 km (27 miles) south, on 27 February 2019. The most recent was magnitude 2.6, near Bicknacre, Essex, on 9 February 2023.

The largest earthquakes within 50 km (31 miles) since 1970
Date	Magnitude	Centred, and how far
27 February 2019	3.1	Near Newdigate, Surrey: 43.1 km (27 miles) south
5 July 2018	3.0	Near Newdigate, Surrey: 43.2 km (27 miles) south
9 February 2023	2.6	Near Bicknacre, Essex: 49.5 km (31 miles) east
27 June 2018	2.6	Near Newdigate, Surrey: 44.2 km (27 miles) south
1 April 2018	2.6	Near Newdigate, Surrey: 42.4 km (26 miles) south
4 May 2019	2.5	Near Newdigate, Surrey: 43.5 km (27 miles) south
14 February 2019	2.4	Near Newdigate, Surrey: 43.3 km (27 miles) south
18 July 2018	2.4	Near Newdigate, Surrey: 43.6 km (27 miles) south

What the sizes mean: magnitude 2 is rarely felt and is found by instruments; magnitude 3 is often felt close by, like a heavy lorry passing, and does no harm; magnitude 4 is felt widely and can rattle windows and knock things off shelves, occasionally cracking plaster near the centre; magnitude 5 or more is rare in Britain, a few in fifty years, and can damage chimneys and old walls close to the centre. Each step up is about 30 times more energy.

What this page cannot tell you

What homes are worth now: the median is of the homes that happened to sell, and a few large or new-build sales move it.
Sales from the last two months: they reach the Land Registry two weeks to two months after completion.
