Does TN26 2PW flood?

Up to High likelihood

Properties in TN26 2PW 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.

Highgreater than 3.3%31
Medium1% – 3.3%00
Low0.1% – 1%31
Very lowbelow 0.1%00

Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a high-likelihood area has at least a 57% chance of flooding at least once.

How much rain falls on TN26 2PW

TN26 2PW gets about 745 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month November, 90 mm; driest March, 43 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.
