Flood Studies Report maps spread out
It's been 50 years since the Flood Studies Report was published, a seminal work involving forerunners of UKCEH & @metoffice.gov.uk.
Adam Griffin reflects on 5 decades of groundbreaking science to improve flood and rainfall frequency estimation in the UK.

The EA have made some disastrous updates to its Water Quality Data Explorer and API which are a bit of a tragedy for #opendata. No bulk downloads, limits on data access, removed endpoints that are essential to actually use the data.

Do you do moth trapping in the UK? We'd love your help! 💡
At @ukceh.bsky.social we're training & testing AI to detect multiple moths in a single image.
Send us top-down photos of multiple moths on egg trays to support this work.

Map of UK showing river flows as percentage of average
The UK Hydrological Summary confirms heightened risk of drought impacts this summer — especially in eastern Britain.
June was the warmest on record for England and 2nd warmest for the UK overall. Rainfall showed stark regional contrasts, with some areas seeing less than half of average.

Five years ago today, most historical UK monthly rainfall observations were not available to scientists.
But the 66,000 pieces of paper containing the data had been scanned.
With covid lockdown approaching we saw an opportunity to transcribe the data.
