Property flooding is not expected.
River levels remain high on the River Kennet following recent rainfall and high groundwater levels but are now starting to fall slowly. Therefore, no further flooding of low lying land and roads is expected.
The forecast today, 18/04/2024, is mainly dry with a few scattered showers possible this evening and into tomorrow. River levels are expected to remain high over the coming days and sensitive to further rainfall.
We are monitoring the situation. Avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. Go to the 'River and Sea levels in England' webpage for current river levels.
This message will be updated tomorrow morning, 19/04/2024, or as the situation changes.
