The Water Regulations 2008 separate water information into 2 types – historical information, and new or ongoing information.

New or ongoing information comes into a person's possession after the grace period has expired.

New information is the information that comes into your possession after the grace period. You give new information at various specified timeframes on an ongoing/continuing basis.

Low or middle-level thick dark cloud with more or less continuously falling rain, snow or sleet. In aviation forecasts and reports it is coded as NS.

Most abundant gas in air, comprising 78% by volume. It is colourless and odourless.

Small adjustments to the amplitudes and phases of harmonic constituents to allow for modulations over the 18.61-year nodal period. See regression of lunar nodes.

Tides produced in shallow water or by frictional effects in general, which have periods equivalent to 4, 6, 8 or more cycles per day.

Description of current weather conditions or those in the immediate future.
