Does the current monitoring / data infrastructure allow for individuals to contribute in this way? Will Wunderground data be accessible in 150 years time? (Is it even accessible now?)

Fantastic article. Who said citizen science was a recent phenomenon.

UK Users of Hydrology. Tell us your training needs. We'd like to hear from all users of hydrology - research to practice - and not just floods. Complete our short (<10min) survey about key skills in hydrology. Help the hydrological community prepare for future challenges. Complete before October 17th 2025. Link in Post. Environment Agency.

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.

UK Water Resources Portal A web tool for displaying water resources and drought information from the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.

While early July has seen some summer downpours, many areas have remained dry, with further heatwave conditions.

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.

New paper: climatology and trends in UK flash #drought, led by Ivan Noguera-Corral @ukceh.bsky.social and with @drmalikotanguy.bsky.social. Most flash droughts work has been focused on drier parts of the world, but also important here in a wet country! hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/...

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.

Fantastic! Let's get it working on hydrographs. If I can read them, surely AI can.

This will be a massive benefit to open and reproducible hydrological science.

Many thanks to colleagues @ukceh.bsky.social, Ricardo and Environment Agency for their hard work.

As well as the future projections of water use.

But perhaps most monumentally of all, we have finally, after many years of trying, been able to publish a dataset of actual abstraction data.

Seasonal changes in UK rainfall since 1836

The UK has become ~15% wetter in the last two centuries, mainly in the winter and autumn, even though the wettest year on record is 1872.

Summers have become very slightly drier overall (mainly in the south), even though the driest year on record is 1855.

After #AGU24 is before #EGU25. If you work on anything related to "deep learning in hydrology", consider submitting to our session. The submission deadline is about a month ago, but with the holiday season coming upon us, better start thinking about your abstracts now.
