High river levels today, 21st February 2026 may lead to flooding. This information is correct as of 15:00 on Saturday 21st February. The causeway at Sutton Gault has approximately 66cm of water on the road. The causeway at Welney has up to 81cm of water on the road. The causeway at Earith has approximately 16cm of water on the road. Due to the uneven surface of the roads, water may be deeper in places. The Environment Agency are liaising with Norfolk Highways who will decide whether to close the Welney road. For more information about the causeway at Welney, please visit the 'Welney Flood Watch' Facebook group. Please note that the content of this group does not represent the views of the Environment Agency. We are not expecting the situation to escalate, or to issue any further warning messages at this time. Further light rainfall is forecast today. We are monitoring rainfall and river levels.
