Up to High likelihood
Properties in HU12 0QD sit in the Environment Agency's High flood-likelihood band (worst property). The band is the worst found in the postcode — it describes the land around properties (defence-adjusted, rivers & sea), not any single address, and not today's conditions.
| Likelihood band | Annual chance | Properties | Of which homes |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | greater than 3.3% | 8 | 7 |
| Medium | 1% – 3.3% | 35 | 10 |
| Low | 0.1% – 1% | 6 | 0 |
| Very low | below 0.1% | 24 | 0 |
Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a high-likelihood area has at least a 57% chance of flooding at least once.
HU12 0QD gets about 598 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month November, 61 mm; driest March, 35 mm). That is 49% 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.

The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around HU12 0QD. The small panels are illustrative previews of the report's per-layer map views — the full report draws each layer for real, plus recorded extents, defences and a building picker on an interactive map.
Warnings cover flood areas, not individual addresses.
