Realtime Rainfall Data
Telemetry Rainfall Data
This dataset covers real time monitoring rainfall data. The data is on an update cycle which varies across the country, typically updated daily. This is usually increased during times of flooding, etc. Readings are transferred via telemetry to internal and external systems in or close to real time. This data may be transferred to these systems or users at different intervals varying for example from once per day during normal conditions to several times per day during a flood event. Measurement of the rainfall is taken in millimetres (mm). Note that rainfall data is recorded in GMT, so during British Summer Time (BST) data may appear to be an hour old. Data comes from a network of over 1000 gauges across England. Data shown is raw data collected from the gauges and is subject to quality control procedures. As a result, values may change after publication on this website. Data from a small selection of raingauges are supplied from the Met Office and included in our open data feed. This data is also available from the Met Office as open data. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2016. All rights reserved.
