Flood alert for River Thames and tributaries from Buscot Wick down to Kings Lock

Property flooding is not currently expected. River levels are rising on the River Thames as a result of recent rainfall. Therefore, flooding of low lying land and roads is expected this morning, 28/03/2024, especially in the areas near Rushey Lock. Further rainfall is forecast throughout today, which has the potential to be heavy at times. Further showers are forecast overnight and tomorrow. We expect river levels to continue to rise today and will remain high over the coming days.

We are monitoring the situation. 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, 29/03/2024, or as the situation changes.
