Issued on 05.02.2026 using data to the end of January 2026
The outlook for February is for above normal to notably high river flows across eastern Scotland and southern England. Elsewhere, river flows and groundwater levels in the normal range are most likely. Above normal flows and groundwater levels in eastern Scotland and southern England are likely to persist through the February-April period. For the rest of the UK, normal flows are likely to predominate over the next three months, with normal to above normal groundwater levels.
