Does KA24 5LB flood?

Not assessed by this dataset

The Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset covers England only, so it does not assess KA24 5LB. 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 KA24 5LB.

How much rain falls on KA24 5LB

KA24 5LB gets about 1,810 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month October, 202 mm; driest May, 99 mm). That is 56% 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.

The watercourse nearest KA24 5LB

The nearest watercourse on the river map is Rye Water, about 100 m from the centre of KA24 5LB. It flows into the River Garnock about 7.1 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 Rye Water nearest the centre of KA24 5LB. 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.

Flood defences

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.
