River

The river flood risk is VERY LOW for the next five days.

Minor river flooding impacts are possible but not expected for parts of England today (Monday). This is due to the potential for some heavy thundery showers. See Specific Areas of Concern Map.

Coastal

The coastal/tidal flood risk is VERY LOW for the next five days.

Surface

The surface water flood risk is LOW today (Monday).

Significant surface water flooding impacts are possible but not expected across parts of England and Wales today, with minor impacts possible more widely. This is due to the potential for heavy, thundery showers. See Specific Areas of Concern Map.

Impacts could include localised flooding from urban and fast responding smaller watercourses/catchments, drains, channels and flooding from overland flow.

Groundwater

The groundwater flood risk is VERY LOW for the next five days.

The level of the ongoing disruption caused by groundwater flooding in the South of England is not forecast to get worse, the flooding is being managed and awareness is high. Consequently the groundwater flood risk is VERY LOW.
