Weather forecasts: Met Office. Each rain amount adds six hourly forecast amounts; the chance shown is the highest single-hour probability. The final date uses its latest outlook, so it is not a like-for-like morning trend. Missing dates remain unavailable.
Measured rainfall: Environment Agency real-time data API (Beta) in East of England; COSMOS-UK daily precipitation at the named sites in other regions. COSMOS-UK measurements are provisional. Each gauge amount covers its own stated complete 24-hour period; overlapping periods are never added together.
Soil moisture: COSMOS-UK, UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, supported by NERC through UK-SCAPE (NE/R016429/1). Readings are provisional and represent each monitoring site's footprint, not a regional soil average.
