February issue of the Hydrological Summary for the UK is now available

Considered at the national scale, weather conditions in February (although exceptionally sunny) were typical of the late winter but the spatial and temporal variations in rainfall amounts were substantial – reflecting the preferred paths taken by the rain-bearing frontal systems. Generally river flows continued their late January recessions during early February with frozen catchments contributing to relatively depressed flow rates. A recovery thereafter saw widespread moderate spate conditions but an absence of extreme flow rates, and the number of fluvial flood alerts was modest for the time of year. Runoff from Great Britain was appreciably below the February mean but, for the winter as a whole, the average was exceeded by around 10%.
