Researchers at the University of Bristol have developed an AI-based tool that predicts flood risks in real time, offering a breakthrough for UK emergency services.
Using machine learning and satellite data, the tool analyzes weather patterns, river levels, and terrain to forecast flooding with 90% accuracy up to 48 hours in advance.
Unveiled on September 12, 2025, it aims to support local councils and response teams in mitigating damage, especially with Storm Francine approaching.
The system, tested in flood-prone areas like Somerset, integrates with existing warning systems.
Lead researcher Dr.
Emily Carter highlights its potential to save lives and reduce economic losses, with plans to expand coverage across Europe.
