Flood alert for River Thames for the Abingdon area

Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

Property flooding is not currently expected.

River levels continue to rise slowly on the River Thames. Flooding of roads and low lying land is expected to continue today (31/01/25), particularly in the Abingdon and Culham areas. Some rain is forecast for this morning (31/01/25), but clearing by this afternoon, and the forecast for the coming days is currently dry.

We expect river levels to continue to rise steadily over the coming 24 hours as water makes its way downstream. Levels remain sensitive to further rainfall. We are monitoring the situation and operating weirs on the Thames to manage 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, 01/02/25, or as the situation changes.

Flood alert area: River Thames for the Abingdon, including areas between Abingdon down to and including Little Wittenham.
