Hugh Town, Isles of Scilly
Up to High likelihood
Properties in TR21 0JQ 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% | 12 | 2 |
| Medium | 1% – 3.3% | 0 | 0 |
| Low | 0.1% – 1% | 0 | 0 |
| Very low | below 0.1% | 4 | 1 |
Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a high-likelihood area has at least a 57% chance of flooding at least once.
TR21 0JQ gets about 881 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month November, 102 mm; driest June, 49 mm). That is 24% 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 ground here sits at about 6 m above sea level and falls 38 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the east-south-east, 23.1 m higher.
The river map has no watercourse within 1 km of the centre of TR21 0JQ.
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.

The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around TR21 0JQ. 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.

| Cso At Atlantic Hotel | Atlantic Ocean | 0.4 km | 60 (2025) | 52 |
