Flood alert for Lincoln Watercourses

Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

River levels remain high following recent rainfall. Flooding is possible on 10th January 2026. We expect the river to remain high throughout the next few days and flooding to gardens, driveways or external garages is possible close to the river. Our forecasts indicate that flooding to properties isn't likely and therefore flood warnings are not expected to be issued. We are closely monitoring the situation. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Avoid low lying roads, near rivers which may be flooded. This message will be updated by 19:00 on 11th January 2026 or as the situation changes.

Flood alert area: Witham, Sincil Dyke, Great Gowts Drain, Fossdyke Canal, Boultham Drain, Brayford Pool.
