Period: From October 2025

High rainfall in central and northern England over September has helped river flows recover, and they are likely to be in the normal to above normal range over the next one and three months. Below normal flows in groundwater-dominated catchments in southern England and north-east Scotland are likely to persist as these areas still require significant additional rainfall to replenish subsurface water stores.
