Information only — not a statutory alerting service

This area shows cached third-party feeds and Mallport summaries for agricultural context. It is not a replacement for Met Office or Environment Agency statutory products, Floodline, 999, or other official emergency channels. Watch-zone and push alerts are heuristic and may miss warnings or notify when official products disagree — always confirm on the provider’s site.

Rainfall & drought-style context

3-month rolling precipitation vs recent history at the site reference grid (Open-Meteo archive). This is not statutory SPI or an official drought status.

Recent 3-month rainfall is somewhat below the recent baseline — context only, not a drought classification.

  • Last window: 2026-04
  • 3-month sum (mm): 147.7
  • Z-style index: -0.89
  • Empirical percentile (3-month total): 22.2%

Empirical percentile of the latest 3-month total vs prior rolling totals in this window — not SPEI/SPI from a parametric distribution.
