EA Rainfall (Flood Monitoring)

Rainfall data uses the same Flood Monitoring service as river levels: base path /flood-monitoring on environment.data.gov.uk.

Capabilities

  • Rainfall stations — discover stations with rainfall parameter filtering and pagination.
  • Station detail — full station record and associated measures for a given station ID.
  • Readings — time series of rainfall measurements from a station, sorted by time.

Patterns

  • Station IDs appear in list results (notation, @id URIs); pass the short ID (e.g. E1234) to detail/readings.
  • Use _limit and _offset on the stations list for pagination.
  • Readings default to sorted (_sorted) and limit 100; rainfall resolution varies by station.

Gotchas

  • No auth: Public API; avoid aggressive polling.
  • Shared API: Identical transport to EA Flood Monitoring; errors are HTTP + JSON-LD style bodies.
