Does GU2 7UJ flood?

No property in an EA risk band

No property in GU2 7UJ appears in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset. That dataset covers one of five flood sources. It is area-level, it covers rivers and the sea only, and it is never proof a place cannot flood — surface water, groundwater, sewers and reservoirs are assessed separately. See the at-risk postcodes in GU2 or get the full picture below.

How much rain falls on GU2 7UJ

GU2 7UJ gets about 722 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month November, 83 mm; driest March, 46 mm). That is 38% drier than the UK as a whole, which averages 1,163 mm a year.

A thirty-year average for the surrounding area, not a measurement at this address and not a flood risk on its own: a dry area floods when a storm sits over it, and a wet one may drain away perfectly well.
