How to read thisRiver levels are judged against each station's own typical range: "high" means above the top of that range, which is when flooding becomes possible. Rainfall is what the gauges have caught, not a forecast.
How reliable is it?The warnings and the five-day risk are the Environment Agency's and the Flood Forecasting Centre's own. Rivers and rain are live gauge readings for England only; Scotland and Wales have their own services, not shown here. A postcode area needs three stations before it is shaded.
