Live Flood Warnings

Summary

This record is for Approval for Access product AfA136. Flood Warnings are provided by the constant monitoring of stations and forecasting flooding from rivers or the sea:

  • Severe Flood Warning: Severe flooding. Danger to life.
  • Flood Warning: Flooding is expected. Immediate action required.
  • Flood Alert: Flooding is possible. Be prepared.
  • Warning no longer in force: Flood warnings and flood alerts that have been removed in the last 24 hours.

Flood Warnings are available on our website and as a live feed. The live feed provides a summary of flood warnings (Alert, Warning and Severe) that have been issued and are currently in force. The Flood Warnings live feed provides the current status of each flood alert and flood warning area that is in force in England. This data is refreshed every minute within the Environment Agency and presented for external users at 5 minutes intervals.
