Will there be a drought where i live? 💧 ☀️

This week the BBC published an article exploring this question using data provided by BGS, Met Office, UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) and Environment Agency.

🌊 Streamflow Stripes are here!!! 🌊
Just in time for #ShowYourStripes Day – 21st June 🌍

Our team at @ukceh.bsky.social has created UK river flow stripes to visualise how these have changed over time.

CANARI scientists from @ukceh.bsky.social have created UK river flow stripes.

High flows are rising in the north/west and drought risk growing in parts of the south/east. Adaptation is needed to reduce impacts from swings between wet/dry.

UK Hydrological Outlook for May-July ☀️🌈

River flows likely to be below normal across most of UK, with potential for current low to exceptionally low flows persisting in some catchments.

Flows in western Scotland and Northern Ireland are likely to be in normal range.

It was really a great pleasure to collaborate with over 60 people from around the globe to develop this dataset and paper, which we hope will significantly advance accessible global-scale hydrological data.

A huge, huge thank you to everyone that has been involved!
📢 We're excited to announce the #ROBINHydro dataset & paper are published! 🌏

This makes available for wider use data for 2,386 global gauging stations with natural or near-natural catchments— a major step forward in accessible, global-scale streamflow data.

☀️ The dry, warm weather in March and early April in much of the UK led to noticeably dry ground and river flows lower than usual - but recent rainfall has provided some relief.

☀️ It was the driest March at our Wallingford (Oxfordshire) Met Site in a record dating to 1962, our hydrologists have confirmed: Just 5.6 mm rainfall over the course of the month.

In fact it was the 15th driest of any month at the site.
