Latest Hydrological Outlook: November river flows likely normal to above normal in northern and western UK; normal to below normal in central, southern & eastern England, plus eastern Scotland.
Groundwater levels mostly normal to below normal across the UK. This pattern likely to persist Nov-Jan.

Long-term monitoring tells a story of change. For 80 years scientists have monitored Windermere and nearby lakes in Cumbria, tracking how climate change and pollution are reshaping our freshwater ecosystems.
It’s one of the longest lake datasets anywhere in the world! 🌎
