Due to recent rainfall and to further rain expected from this evening into tomorrow Friday 19/09/2025, river levels are forecast to rise and may lead to flooding of low-lying land. Further rainfall is expected throughout the weekend. River levels remain high near the Lower River Eden, with low-lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around the River Eden and its tributaries from its confluence with the River Irthing through Crosby-on-Eden and Carlisle to the Solway Firth at Rockcliffe.
