Hmm, It's going to require programming really, so it's not possible for you to do unless you are a programmer I'm afraid.

If you just want to have that 'page' on your site you can include it with an iframe like:

-- Edit:

Update to include auto-refresh.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var MINS = 1;

function my_autoReloadFrame ()
{
    floodFrame.src = "http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/31618.aspx";
    setTimeout("my_autoReloadFrame()", MINS * 60 * 1000);
}

function my_setupReload ()
{
    setTimeout("my_autoReloadFrame()", MINS * 60 * 1000);
}
</script>

<iframe onload="my_setupReload();" id="floodFrame" src="http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/31618.aspx" width="100%" height="600" border="0"></iframe>
