Where this comes from. England’s current warnings come from the Environment Agency; Scotland’s come from SEPA Floodline. We check each every 15 minutes. Contains SEPA data © Scottish Environment Protection Agency and database right 2026. Used with permission. The history covers each nation's own record: England’s Environment Agency warnings since 2006; Wales’s from Natural Resources Wales’s published list since February 2006 plus our live record; Scotland’s only from 15 September 2026, because SEPA publishes no archive — use the Nation picker above.

The history is the Environment Agency’s record of every warning raised since 2006, which it publishes each quarter, joined to the warnings we have recorded live since. Each count is one warning or alert raised for one area; a warning that was later updated counts once. When a warning is removed that is not counted as a new warning. An area with no warnings on record can still flood.
