Further rainfall is forecast over the next 24 hours.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff have been checking defences, clearing screens and actively checking river levels and the weather forecast.
Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and stay aware in case further warnings are issued.
