River levels are rising at the Bewdley, Worcester, Diglis, Kempsey and Saxons Lode river gauges as a result of heavy rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is possible from this morning Thursday, 28/03/2024. We expect flooding to affect low lying land and roads adjacent the river from Highley to Tewkesbury. Locations affected are Stourport, Holt Fleet, Worcester, Kempsey, Severn Stoke and Upton upon Severn.Install Property level protection if required.
Predicted peaks expected Friday afternoon, 29/03/2024:-
Bewdley 2.8 to 3.1m, Worcester 3.8 to 4.1m, Diglis 3.5 to 3.8m, Kempsey Yacht Club 5.8 to 6.1m, Saxons Lode 4.1 to 4.4m.
Further rainfall is forecast over the next 48 hours, and we expect river levels to remain high for the next few days.
Flood gates at Waterside and New Street in Upton were closed this afternoon.
Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and avoid contact with flood water.
This message will be updated by 10:00 on 29/03/24, or as the situation changes.
