Period: From November 2025
Issued on 11.11.2025 using data to the end of October 2025
In November, river flows are expected to be normal to above normal in northern and western parts of the UK, but normal to below normal in central, southern, and eastern England, as well as eastern Scotland. Groundwater-fed rivers are likely to remain below normal or low, and groundwater levels will generally be normal to below normal. From November–January, this pattern is likely to persist, and limited rainfall may hinder recovery, leaving southern and eastern areas below normal into early 2026.
