Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check UK Data: England river and tide levels every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
river
river_flow_now
Latest river flow in cubic metres per second (cumecs) at one gauge, or at the nearest flow gauges to a point. The number kayakers, canoeists and anglers ask for. Source: Environment Agency real-time flood-monitoring API. Pass station_id for one gauge, or lat and lon to search nearby; only some gauges measure flow, and readings older than 6 hours are flagged stale. (cost: 1 credit)
river_level_history
River level readings at one gauge since a time (default the last 24 hours, up to 7 days back), with the lowest and highest point, change since the start and whether the river is rising, falling or steady over the last hour. Answers "has the river peaked yet" for flood watchers and anglers. Source: Environment Agency real-time flood-monitoring API. The series is thinned to a manageable number of points; it is not a forecast. (cost: 1 credit)
river_level_now
Latest water level at one Environment Agency gauge, compared with its typical range (low, normal or high), plus the latest flow where the gauge measures it. Useful for boaters, anglers and residents asking whether the river is high right now. Source: Environment Agency real-time flood-monitoring API; readings are usually 15 minutes apart and old readings are flagged stale. Level is a gauge height, not water depth, and this is not a flood warning service. (cost: 1 credit)
river_level_record
Record high, record low and highest recent level at one Environment Agency gauge, with how far today's level is below the record. Answers "is this a record flood" for journalists, residents and property buyers. Source: Environment Agency real-time flood-monitoring API (station stage scale). Records only cover the years the gauge has operated, and some gauges publish none. (cost: 1 credit)
river_stations_on_river
Lists the Environment Agency level gauges on a named river in England (for example River Thames or River Severn) with station ids, towns and coordinates. Useful for boaters planning a trip or anyone following a river downstream. Source: Environment Agency real-time flood-monitoring API. The upstream name match is exact, so if nothing matches the tool retries once as "River <Name>" in title case (e.g. "thames" becomes "River Thames") and reports the name it used; other spellings are not guessed, and the list is not in upstream-to-downstream order. (cost: 1 credit)
rainfall
rainfall_last_24h
How much rain fell over the last 24 hours (or up to 7 days) at the nearest working Environment Agency rain gauge, in millimetres, with the wettest 15 minutes and how complete the record is. Observed rainfall for gardeners, farmers, groundskeepers and anyone checking "how much rain did we get". Source: Environment Agency real-time flood-monitoring API (tipping-bucket gauges). It measures one point, not your exact location, and is not a forecast. (cost: 1 credit)
