Heugh-head is monitored by 1 SEPA river level station on the Feugh, in Aberdeenshire. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes.
Flood Zones, Warning Areas and Surface Water are Environment Agency maps and cover England only. Heugh-head is in Scotland, so they draw little or nothing here — that is where the map ends, not an absence of flood risk. SEPA’s warning areas have their own pages under flood areas.
No SEPA warning within 15 km of Heugh-head is in FloodRadar's Scottish record, which starts on 15 September 2026 with no earlier archive — so this says nothing about floods before then.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is Water of Feugh, about 10 m from the middle of Heugh-head's gauges. It flows into the River Dee about 3.4 km downstream.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on Water of Feugh nearest the middle of Heugh-head's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
Heugh-head is monitored by 1 SEPA river level station on the Feugh, in Aberdeenshire. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes, providing real-time flood monitoring for the area.
The Feugh is monitored by 1 station (Heugh Head). Each station records water levels continuously, with data synced to FloodRadar every 5 minutes.
No Environment Agency flood warning area is mapped within 10km of Heugh-head. That means the EA has not defined a warning target area here, which is not evidence the town cannot flood: warning areas exist where the EA runs a warning service, and surface-water and groundwater flooding have no warning areas at all. The EA’s register covers England only — Heugh-head is in Scotland, where the warning service is SEPA’s, and FloodRadar publishes its areas alongside the EA’s on the flood areas index.
There are 4 storm overflows within 5km of Heugh-head. None of the 3 with a reporting monitor are currently discharging (1 has no live status right now). Enable "Sewage" on the map above to see their locations.
Each has its own page of live status and past discharges:

No recorded flood outline within ~5 km of the Heugh-head town centre 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 Environment Agency's Recorded Flood Outlines cover England only, and Heugh-head is in Scotland — so an empty record here is an absence of coverage, not an absence of floods.
