The river flow outlook for January favours normal flows across the UK, although above normal flows may persist in parts of central and southern England that have seen the highest rainfall in recent weeks. In contrast, January – March outlook favours wetter conditions that are more likely to manifest themselves in normal to above normal flows in the north and west, with normal flows most likely elsewhere. While groundwater is a more mixed picture (reflecting both recent rainfall patterns and aquifer properties), normal to above normal levels are expected across the UK over the January – March period.
