No property in an EA risk band
No property in SP6 3LP 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 SP6 or get the full picture below.
SP6 3LP gets about 952 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month November, 115 mm; driest June, 56 mm). That is 18% 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. Source: Met Office HadUK-Grid 1991–2020 (5 km grid), 2.5 km away. Average rainfall: HadUK-Grid v1.3.2, Met Office. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
The ground here sits at about 70 m above sea level and falls 16 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the west, 0.8 m higher.
The river map has no watercourse within 1 km of the centre of SP6 3LP.
That means this spot is not on the river map, not that there is no water here: Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers) leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
Because 165 official warnings since 2006.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around SP6 3LP. 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.
None mapped within ~1 km of this postcode's centre.
No recorded outline near this postcode means no flood was mapped here, which is not evidence none happened: the Environment Agency mapped only some floods, mapping effort rose sharply after about 2000, and surface-water flooding is largely absent from this record. The full report tests every other flood source at the exact building.
