It may work, but I also agree with Yves that it may be a bit too
complicated?

A couple of thoughts though:

to say "When https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/8373389773 says 2.7m,
flooded here",

Would that be better being linked directly to the URL of the measuring
station ie https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/station/8235,
rather than to another OSM node which is then linked to that URL?

I also notice that that station gives a possible flood level as 2.2m, but
you've said 2.7m? Aren't you taking a bit of a risk with overriding the
Weather Bureau, or whoever runs the Flood Warning Service?

Thanks
