Other Settlement CLIMATE RISK
Garton is a settlement in East Riding of Yorkshire, within East Riding of Yorkshire council area. This page shows flood, heat, air quality, and subsidence risk data for Garton, drawn from official UK government sources.
Flood risk in Garton is rated Medium based on Environment Agency data for the East Riding of Yorkshire area. Individual postcode flood risk can vary — check a specific address above for a postcode-level rating.
Heat risk in Garton is relatively low under current projections. Met Office UKCP18 data suggests around 16 days above 25°C per year in this area by the 2021-2040 period (central estimate, high emissions scenario). These are probabilistic projections — actual outcomes depend on future emissions levels. Properties in Garton without adequate ventilation or insulation may face increasing summer heat stress and higher cooling costs as temperatures rise.
Air quality in Garton averages 6.4 µg/m³ PM2.5, which is relatively low — above the WHO annual mean guideline of 5 µg/m³. Defra UK-AIR monitoring data underpins this figure. PM2.5 levels are typically higher near busy roads, industrial areas, and dense urban centres, and lower in parks, green corridors, and residential backstreets.
Subsidence data for Garton is sourced from the British Geological Survey GeoSure dataset, which maps clay shrink-swell risk across Great Britain. In areas with shrink-swell clay, foundations can shift as soils dry out in summer and re-wet in winter. Properties built before 1980 on clay-rich ground are most exposed.
