Up to High likelihood
Properties in S32 1DD 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% | 1 | 0 |
| Medium | 1% – 3.3% | 0 | 0 |
| Low | 0.1% – 1% | 1 | 1 |
| Very low | below 0.1% | 0 | 0 |
Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a high-likelihood area has at least a 57% chance of flooding at least once.
S32 1DD gets about 1,070 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month December, 118 mm; driest May, 68 mm). That is close to 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 ground here sits at about 156 m above sea level and falls 66 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the east-south-east, 41.6 m higher.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is Hood Brook, about 100 m from the centre of S32 1DD. It flows into the River Derwent about 670 m 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 Hood Brook nearest the centre of S32 1DD. 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.
Because properties in the high likelihood band; 5 recorded flood outlines mapped nearby; 92 official warnings since 2006.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around S32 1DD. 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.
| Date | Mapped flood extent | Approx. distance |
|---|---|---|
| Jan 2021 | 2021 January Flood Incident - Storm Christoph | ~67.0 km |
| Feb 2020 | 2020 February Flood Incident - Storm Dennis | ~66.3 km |
| Nov 2019 | 2019 November Flood Incident | ~37.8 km |
| Dec 1965 | Derwent December 1965 | ~23.4 km |
| Jan 1947 | Derwent 1947 | ~25.3 km |
These are extents the Environment Agency has mapped, not a list of every flood. Records, not floods: no outline on the record is not evidence a place has not flooded. The full report tests whether any extent covered the exact spot.
