PulseDeck
Live conditions, river levels, air quality, tide gauges and severe warnings — all in one place, pulled from public data, no sign-up needed. Drop a pin anywhere in the UK and know exactly what you're heading into before you leave.
Rain scope
RainViewer tiles + OpenStreetMapTip: zoom out for context, zoom in for “should I still go?”. RainViewer radar only supports zoom levels up to 7 — PulseDeck clamps zoom so you don’t get broken tiles. Radar is imperfect — treat it as a nudge, not a promise.

Open‑Meteo · local clockRiver watch
EA flood monitoringShows the nearest river level stations with live readings (where published). If a station is “down”, it disappears from the feed — that’s normal.
Micro‑quakes
USGS (global feed, UK‑filtered)Most days are quiet — that’s good. When something pops, PulseDeck lights up.
Moon & darkness
Open‑Meteo astronomyUseful for night photography, winter nav, and that “we’ll be off the hill before dark… right?” feeling.
⚠️ Severe warnings

🌊 Tide watch
EA flood monitoring · tidal stationsNearest tidal gauge stations from the EA network. Only coastal pins will show meaningful results — inland pins may return nothing.
💨 Air quality
Open‑Meteo air qualityEuropean AQI: 0–20 Good · 20–40 Fair · 40–60 Moderate · 60–80 Poor · 80+ Very Poor. Useful for asthma, campfire sensitivity and long upland days.
