Climate

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

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 North Warwickshire's homes, near Hurley; 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.

Daylight through the year

On the shortest day, 21 December, the sun rises at 08:15 and sets at 15:54: 7 h 39 min of daylight. On the longest, 21 June, it rises at 04:42 and sets at 21:33: 16 h 51 min.

Worked out from the latitude and longitude of the middle of North Warwickshire's homes, near Hurley, 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 18 earthquakes of magnitude 2 or more within 50 km (31 miles) of the middle of North Warwickshire's homes, near Hurley; 3 of them were magnitude 3 or more, and 2 magnitude 4 or more. The largest was magnitude 4.7, centred near Dudley, W Midlands, 36.5 km (23 miles) west, on 22 September 2002. The most recent was magnitude 2.2, near Gotham, Nottinghamshire, on 17 December 2024.

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.
