How extreme does Haywards Heath's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Haywards Heath has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 33 years of daily weather observations (1992–present), from the Charlwood station 18 km away. Updated through August 2025 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.

In plain terms

Across the record, Haywards Heath has reached as high as 104°F and as low as 10°F. A single day has delivered over 2 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.

Methodology & sources

Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 28 years of daily observations at Herstmonceux West End, a weather station, about 31 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
