Does ST7 3NT flood?

No property in an EA risk band

No property in ST7 3NT 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 ST7 or get the full picture below.

How much rain falls on ST7 3NT

ST7 3NT gets about 749 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month October, 78 mm; driest March, 49 mm). That is 36% 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.

Recorded flood outlines near this postcode

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.
