Groundwater levels in the villages surrounding Andover are high but slowly falling. During the last week, 15mm of rain has been recorded at Andover. We expect cellar flooding may be ongoing in Appleshaw, Hatherden, Penton Grafton and Penton Mewsey. Road flooding is occurring to the main road into Penton Grafton and the road from Biddesden to Redenham. Sewerage network and septic tank impacts are expected to be ongoing. From today 15/05/2024 to Sunday 19/05/2024, spells of rain and showers, some of which may be heavy, are forecast to affect Hampshire with between 5 and 45mm of rain predicted. Groundwater levels are expected to continue falling and the situation will slowly improve in the coming weeks, but any heavy rain recorded will prolong impacts. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. If you have pumps to help reduce water levels, please ensure that they are operational. This Flood Alert will be updated by 18:00 on Wednesday 22/05/2024.
