The official level of terrorist threats to the UK has been made public on the websites of MI5 and the Home Office.
The launch of a new system follows criticism by a parliamentary committee of alert levels before last year's 7 July bombings in London.
Levels of alert have been reduced from seven to five - low, moderate, substantial, severe and critical.
On Tuesday morning the MI5 website said the threat was "severe", which meant an attack was "highly likely".
