46 destinations. Live figures come from FloodRadar’s own banked copies of the Environment Agency, SEPA, water-company, Met Office and news feeds; the radar refreshes every five minutes while this tab is open, the rest every few minutes on the server. A figure that cannot be read says so in words rather than showing a number. Sources and licences are on the data sources page.
