Not assessed by this dataset
The Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset covers England only, so it does not assess KA15 1HQ. Flood risk here is mapped by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). This is not an all-clear and it is not a risk finding — it means the dataset on this page has no coverage here, so it says nothing either way about KA15 1HQ.
KA15 1HQ gets about 1,564 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month October, 172 mm; driest April, 86 mm). That is 34% wetter 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. Source: Met Office HadUK-Grid 1991–2020 (5 km grid), 1.1 km away. Average rainfall: HadUK-Grid v1.3.2, Met Office. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is Powgree Burn, about 680 m from the centre of KA15 1HQ. It flows into the River Garnock about 6.3 km downstream.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on Powgree Burn nearest the centre of KA15 1HQ. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
Rule-based from the datasets in the report.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around KA15 1HQ. 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.
The Environment Agency's warning record covers England only, so it holds nothing for this location — that is the reach of the record, not a quiet place. SEPA publishes no warning archive, so FloodRadar's Scottish record begins only on 15 September 2026 — there is no warning history to show here yet, and that is a gap in the record rather than evidence of a quiet place.
Warnings cover flood areas, not individual addresses, and are issued when flooding is expected rather than when it happens.
The Environment Agency's Recorded Flood Outlines cover England only, so there is no mapped flood record here to be empty — this is an absence of coverage, not an absence of floods. Recorded flooding here is mapped by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).
| Gauge | River | Distance | Typical high | Highest on record |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kilbirnie | Garnock | 5.3 km | 1.47 m | — |
| Dalry | Garnock | 8.3 km | 1.97 m | — |

Live levels, predictions and rain-response behaviour are on each gauge's page and in the property report.
The Environment Agency's register of mapped flood-defence assets covers England only, so it holds nothing here — that is the reach of the register, not an absence of defences. Defences here are held by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). Defences reduce risk, never remove it.
The interactive flood-risk map with a building picker (your exact house, not the postcode), the 2050s climate view, surface-water and planning flood zones at your building, exact recorded-flood distances, year-by-year warning charts, watercourses including culverted streams, an insurance outlook with the Flood Re rules, and a printable document with every dataset receipt — start with the free preview, unlock for £19.
