The Flood Forecasting Centre (FFC) has published the user guide for the Rapid Flood Guidance (RFG) service returning for summer 2025. The service provides short-notice updates for England and Wales to supplement the Flood Guidance Statement for rapid flooding events expected within 0-3 hours. The 2025 service runs from 2 June to 17 October 2025 and includes improvements such as local authority-level sign-up options, clearer mapping, and a more reliable SMS service based on 2024 trial feedback.
