No property in an EA risk band
No property in YO18 8HT 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 YO18 or get the full picture below.
YO18 8HT gets about 915 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month November, 104 mm; driest May, 53 mm). That is 21% 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 river map has no watercourse within 1 km of the centre of YO18 8HT.
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 3 recorded flood outlines mapped nearby.
The map above shows the real EA rivers & sea likelihood cells around YO18 8HT. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Feb 2020 | 2020 February Flood Incident - Storm Dennis | ~38.7 km |
| Feb 2020 | 2020 February Flood Incident - Storm Ciara | ~50.1 km |
| Dec 2015 | December 2015 Flood Event | ~48.9 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.
| Gauge | River | Distance | Typical high | Highest on record |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Levisham Station | Pickering Beck | 3.9 km | 1.41 m | 2.20 m |
| Levisham Mill | Levisham Beck | 5.4 km | 0.41 m | 0.92 m |
| Pickering | Pickering Beck | 10.9 km | 0.65 m | 1.98 m |
| Sinnington | River Seven | 11.3 km | 1.30 m | 2.60 m |
Live levels, predictions and rain-response behaviour are on each gauge's page and in the property report.
No mapped flood-defence assets within 500 m of the postcode centre. Defences reduce risk, never remove it.
