Using historic weather data, Online Marketing Surgery and MG Timber have ranked the Red Rose areas on the amount of rainfall they had last year, revealing the flooding hotspots in the county.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, given its inland location and well-draining soils, Ormskirk is said to be the town least likely to flood in Lancashire, with an average yearly rainfall of 960mm.
There’s a big difference between that and the wettest area of the county - just 55 miles away.
