    When did you changed them last time?
    You might need new brake pads, otherwise there is a special grease you could use only on the back part so it'll stop making the noise

    I've been told that after a long dry spell, brake dust thats normally washed away in the rain can accumulate and cause a squeal!

    There is indeed. It's called copper grease.

    But make sure that it doesn't go anywhere near the disc side of the brake pad!
