Does ME14 3JJ flood?

No property in an EA risk band

No property in ME14 3JJ 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 ME14 or get the full picture below.

How much rain falls on ME14 3JJ

ME14 3JJ gets about 685 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month November, 78 mm; driest July, 43 mm). That is 41% 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 watercourse nearest ME14 3JJ

The nearest watercourse on the river map is an unnamed stream, about 130 m from the centre of ME14 3JJ. It flows into the River Len about 2.6 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 an unnamed stream nearest the centre of ME14 3JJ. 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.
