Minor river flooding impacts are possible across Wales and parts of the north of England, and possible but not expected across central and eastern parts of England on Thursday and Friday due to further rain on sensitive catchments.
The coastal/tidal flood risk is VERY LOW for the next five days.
The surface water flood risk is VERY LOW for the next five days.
Minor surface water flooding impacts are possible across Wales and parts of the north of England on Thursday and Friday due to the potential for heavy rain on saturated ground.
