When does Hemel Hempstead usually get its first frost of autumn?
First air frosts typically occur in mid to late November, though a light ground frost can happen as early as October. The local low-point around Gadebridge Park is often a degree or two colder than the town centre.
How does the Chilterns affect local weather?
The hills to the west can cause cloud to thicken and slow the passage of fronts, giving Hemel Hempstead longer spells of drizzle than areas further east. They also provide a slight shelter from strong south-westerly winds.
Is the weather in Hemel Hempstead similar to that in nearby towns?
Generally yes, but the town’s elevation (about 130 m above sea level) often means it is slightly cooler and cloudier than St Albans or Watford, which sit lower in the valley of the River Ver and Colne respectively.
