UK Hydrological Outlook

The UK Hydrological Outlook provides an insight into future hydrological conditions across the UK. Specifically, it describes likely trajectories for river flows and groundwater levels on a monthly basis, with a particular focus on the next three months. Well-established monitoring programmes provide the current status of both river flows and groundwater levels at many sites across the UK, and data from these programmes provide the starting point for the UK Hydrological Outlook. A number of techniques are used to project forwards from the current state and results from these are used to produce a summary that includes a highlights map.
