River levels in Scotland

Every active river gauge in Scotland, placed by the council area it stands in — not by the agency that runs it.

Towns and villages with their own page

113 places in Scotland have a flood page built from the river gauges that carry their name. Somewhere not listed may still be covered: find it on the map or under its council area above.

Rainfall in Scotland

304 rain gauges in Scotland on FloodRadar’s rainfall map, all run by SEPA. Each shows the last hour, day and week of rain, and how that compares with the gauge’s own record.

Flood warning history

3 flood warnings and alerts raised in Scotland since 15 September 2026: 2 flood warnings and 1 flood alert. The most recent was raised on 22 September 2026.

SEPA publishes no archive of past warnings, so Scotland’s record is FloodRadar’s own, kept from the live Floodline feed since 15 September 2026. Nothing before that date is held, which is not the same as nothing having happened.

Storm overflows

31 of 2,073 Scottish Water storm overflows were reporting a discharge at the last check of the company’s live monitoring, 4 min ago. 242 more were offline or not reporting, which is not the same as not discharging.

Event monitors show when an overflow operates; they do not measure how much, and this is not advice on water quality. To report pollution in Scotland, contact SEPA: 0800 80 70 60 or online.

Reservoirs in Scotland

How full the reservoirs that supply Scotland’s tap water are, as each company publishes it. Reservoir levels are about water supply, not flood risk.

Scottish Water 77.0%

full, the company’s own figure, as of 21 Sep 2026.
