We record river levels and rainfall across England using a network of monitoring sites. We use hydrological models and past flood events to predict how rivers will respond to rainfall. We asked you about the timings of flooding to help check how our predictions match what really happened.

A picture tells a thousand words. If you have any photos you would like to share of the flooding, please send them to (remember to tell us where the photo was taken).
