Groundwater levels in Hambledon are high and continue to fall slowly. The level at our borehole in Whitedale Farm has fallen by 2.36m in the last 7 days. We expect properties on East and West Street to be experiencing cellar flooding. Sewerage system impacts are expected throughout the village, and Fareham Road is currently closed. From today 28/03/2024 to Saturday 30/03/2024, further rain is forecast in Hampshire, with between 15 and 30mm of rain expected in these 3 days. Sunday 31/03/2024 is expected to be dry, but further unsettled weather bringing up to 12mm of rain is forecast on Monday 01/04/2024. The rate at which groundwater levels are falling could begin to slow down this week, but overall flooding impacts should decrease slowly. Flooding impacts in Hambledon are expected to continue for at least another 10 days. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. Please remain prepared for further flooding impacts in the coming weeks. This Flood Alert will be updated by 18:00 on Thursday 04/04/2024.
