Does M5 flood?

Only lower-likelihood flood risk is recorded in M5: none of its 77 listed postcodes goes beyond the Low band. The M5 postcode district covers Quays, Ordsall, Pendleton & Charlestown, close to Salford, Broughton, Manchester, and surrounding villages in Greater Manchester.

77 postcodes in the M5 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 77 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
