After a couple of years there are some updates to this app. This app is now focused on just English and Welsh rain, river and tide levels. If your looking for Scottish levels and the ability to subscribe to Scottish flood warning notifications then look for FloodPro Scotland on the App Store - its dedicated to SEPA data. UkFloodPro is now dedicated to English (Environment Agency) and Welsh (Natural Resources Wales) data. This release - 2.66 - includes the ability to subscribe to FFC forecasts. These are released every day around 10:45am by a joint effort by the Met Office and the Environment Agency. Please note that all Scottish data and views will be removed in the next release. However - I'll be keeping the functionality to view all United Kingdom warnings (excluding Northern Ireland) i.e. England, Wales and Scotland. I'm committed to always having a free version of the app that will allow people to get river, rain, tidal levels and flood warnings to better help them prepare for environmental incidents.  The current features include :- - View the EA/Met Office 5-day flood forecast in summary and detail - View river, rain and tidal levels for England, Wales and Scotland - Ability to save river, rain, ground station or tidal station to your Favourites (river only for Scotland and Wales) - View all flood warnings in your vicinity, or all of England from the Environment Agency & closest river stations in that warning area - View ALL flood warnings from England, Scotland and Wales combined in a single view including distribution totals - View the closest river stations for a flood warning area - see the river levels that matter in that area (England only) - View all flood warnings for Scotland using SEPAs new API - View all flood warnings for Wales using the Natural Resources Wales API - View all stations on a specific river on a map (England only), a great way to view river levels summary - Search by river name - View the current LIVE rainfall data from 909 rainfall stations in England - Map screen that displays all river, rain, ground water and tidal stations (England only - Scotland map only shows river stations currently) - Filter map display to show river, rain stations, tidal etc. - View Flood Warnings for map area And did I mention...no adverts. My thanks to the UK Environment Agency, SEPA and Natural Resources Wales for providing the detailed data.
