Ynys is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the Clydach Brook, in Neath Port Talbot. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes.
Flood Zones, Warning Areas and Surface Water are Environment Agency maps and cover England only. Ynys is in Wales, so they draw little or nothing here — that is where the map ends, not an absence of flood risk. Natural Resources Wales’s warning areas have their own pages under flood areas.
Ynys is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the Clydach Brook, in Neath Port Talbot. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes, providing real-time flood monitoring for the area.
The Clydach Brook is monitored by 1 station (Ynys Fach Bridge River Station). 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 Ynys. 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 — Ynys is in Wales, where the warning service is Natural Resources Wales’s, and FloodRadar publishes its areas alongside the EA’s on the flood areas index.

No recorded flood outline within ~5 km of the Ynys 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 Ynys is in Wales — so an empty record here is an absence of coverage, not an absence of floods. Open the recorded-floods map →
