Frequently asked questions

Which listed sources support Catchment rainfall data UK?

Start with NRFA API, Met Office Climate Data Portal, EA Rainfall API (flood-monitoring). Compare catchment rainfall summaries, gridded climate and gauge observations for a basin.

What should I check before using these sources for catchment rainfall data uk?

A point gauge cannot represent catchment rainfall without spatial analysis and an appropriate averaging method.

How do I inspect NRFA API through MCP?

Connect an MCP client to https://terramcp.earth/mcp and call get_source with slug nrfa-api. Review its provenance, access requirements and limitations before contacting the upstream service. Discovery does not make every listed source directly executable through the router.

Are these sources free and independently verified?

Access and licence terms belong to each upstream provider; some products require registration or payment. Open each listing for evidence, health status and enrichment provenance. A wrapper and its underlying API can refer to the same dataset and are not independent observations.
