Space weather forecast: Overnight, the Earth's magnetic field strongly has connected to the southward component of the interplanetary magnetic field , that has been negative for around 14 hours, resulting in sustained levels of geomagnetic activity averaging storm G1 and up-to storm G3 levels. It is thought that a co-rotating interactive region , ahead of a coronal hole high speed stream, combined with the 8-Jun coronal mass ejection is responsible for this prolonged and enhanced level of activity. The high speed stream from the large re-current southern coronal hole is expected to start influencing geomagnetic conditions from the 2nd period onward. Further storm periods are likely throughout the weekend. The CMEs mentioned in yesterday forecasts have been reviewed and are now discounted. | ||

The actual water level in the Ouseburn at The Malings is dependent upon many additional factors including River Tyne flowrate, Ouseburn flowrate, Ouseburn Barrage gate position and weir level, air pressure, wind-driven storm surges, silt scouring, and any storm drain surcharge. For more information see the Environment Agency's Tyne Catchment Flood Management Plan (2009)/ (2012) and Ouseburn Surface Water Management Plan (2015), and Newcastle City Council's Local Flood Risk Management Plan (2016).
Reservoirs often help reduce flooding. Gateshead City Council have also published Inundation Map (Kielder) which illustrates the largest area that might be flooded if a reservoir like Kielder Reservior were to fail and release the water it holds (explanation and more). See also online flood risk map.

The Lower Ouseburn Valley Conservation Area is defined in the Character Statement and Conservation Area Management Plan. It spans both Ouseburn and Byker wards. The area has a medium-term the Regeneration Plan, and an Urban Design Framework which sets out generic design principles and general land-use planning and transportation issues for the redevelopment of the valley.
The Ouseburn Trust aims to achieve a vibrant, diverse and sustainable future for the Ouseburn Valley, delivering the objectives of the Regeneration Plan.
Three organisations particularly active with matters relating to the river, surface water run-off and flooding are:
The Malings, a housing development by Carillion-Igloo, is situated on the east bank of the Lower Ouseburn (in ONS output area E00042114), between Ouseburn Bridge (Byker Bank) and Glasshouse Bridge (Walker Road) near the Tyne. It is part of Byker Ward in the City of Newcastle, located on the site of the former Malings Ford A Pottery. It is within the Lower Ouseburn Valley Conservation Area.
Homes at The Malings lie between Hume Street/Maling Street and Riverside Walk, and include the postal addresses of:
The homes are inhabited by diverse people whom you can listen to at peopleofthemalings, a web project by the architects of The Malings Ash Sakula.
