Property flooding is not currently expected.
River levels are rising on the River Thames as a result of recent rainfall. Therefore, flooding of low lying land and roads is expected today, 29/03/2024, especially in the Abingdon area. Further heavy showers are forecast today which have the potential to be heavy at times. Overnight is forecast to be mainly dry. We expect river levels to continue today and levels will remain high over the coming days as water moves downstream.
We are monitoring the situation. Our staff are managing weirs on the River Thames to reduce flood risk. 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, 30/03/2024, or as the situation changes.
