May 2015 Hydrological Outlook Published
May 18, 2015
The outlook for May suggests normal river flows are likely in northern Britain, and normal to below-normal flows further south. This reflects the notably low April rainfall across England and Wales, with less than half the monthly average received in most areas; however, early May has been very wet in all regions, which decreases the likelihood of very low flows and increases the chances of above-normal flows in the north. The groundwater outlook is for a similar picture to April, with mostly normal and below-normal levels. Over the next three months, flows and groundwater levels are likely to be normal or below normal across the UK, with an increased likelihood of notably low groundwater levels in some areas.
