New things you can see or use, newest first, and a few tips on getting more out of the site. Turn on the weekly digest on your alerts page to get one of these each Friday with your area's week.
Nothing listed here yet. The tips below are a good place to start.
Press the star on any gauge's page and it joins My Monitors: your gauges on one "Together" chart, with the rain around them and the storm overflows nearby.
Open a gauge's page, press the bell and choose "Alert me at typical high". Or use the Simple tab: pick your gauge, what to watch for and how you want to hear.
Replay shows how a storm moved down the rivers hour by hour. Type a storm, a year or a river (for example Dennis or Dove) and press play.
"Rising now" lists the rivers above their typical high and still climbing, ranked by how high they are, then how fast.
On your alerts page, tick "Met Office weather warnings covering my postcode". You can choose any colour, amber or red, or red only, and which kinds of weather.
Forecast rain for the next day and the rivers worth watching, together.
On the map, press Layers and switch on "Flood zones 2 & 3" or "Surface water risk". They are the EA's planning maps, not forecasts, and are drawn when you zoom in close.
The sewage map shows the storm overflows the water companies report live. Press "Near me", or filter to "Spilling". "Not discharging" does not mean the water is clean.
The biggest rises since yesterday, new warnings, the heaviest rain and the sewage discharges, on one page.
On your alerts page, tick "Sewage spills near me" to hear when an overflow near your postcode starts discharging.
Type a place, river or area to see every flood warning issued there. In Scotland the record starts later.
Search a town, village, postcode or gauge for the floods the Environment Agency has recorded (England). No record does not mean it has never flooded.
Combine rivers, rain and Met Office warnings in one alert, for example "either gauge above its typical high and rain still falling". "Check now" shows whether it would fire.
Last night's rain from every reporting rain gauge in England, Scotland and Wales, updated hourly.
If your street floods, Log a Flood records where the water reached. You choose whether to keep it private or share it on the community flood map. It does not call for help: in danger, call 999.
Type a river (for example Dove, Derwent or Severn) to see a rise travel from gauge to gauge.
Search storms by name, area or season. An active storm gets a live page of its own.
Put several gauges on one chart (upstream, downstream and tributaries) to see how a rise travels between them.
Metres above what? A short guide to the units on a river gauge, and why two gauges' numbers cannot always be compared.
Year by year for the whole UK or your county: rain, rivers reaching rarely reached levels, flood alerts and sewage spills, with a note on what changed in how they are measured.
