Environmental Data
We all have concerns about climate change and many have different views on this subject, however none of us can deny that it’s getting worse, colder in the winter and hotter in the summer, with increasing rainfall seen country wide. Can we do anything about this, that’s is very much open to debate, the one thing we can do is to mitigate the one thing that we can help with.. flooding.

The Importance of Flood Groups:

• Provide a vital link between communities and authorities.
• Valuable local knowledge of flood risks and vulnerabilities.
• Empowering communities to take proactive steps to protect themselves. 

By combining these strategies, flood groups play a crucial role in building community resilience and reducing the devastating impacts of flooding.

This page aims to provide data that gives information about environmental issues, data is all important when it comes to dealing with the authorities. We need to  show how it’s affecting the residents and businesses in the area.

Historic Rainfall Data

3vfg have put together some data from Met Office (Yeovilton) to show past (and present) years rainfall which goes back to 1964! However these charts show data from 2020 to present. The data for the latest year is provisional meaning it has still to be verified, however this data is not usually far from correct and will be corrected as the data becomes available.

To view each Months rainfall for any given year, hover your pointer over the circle inside the graph for that month.
