High river levels today may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on Sunday 1 February and overnight into Monday 2 February. River levels have stayed high as water flows down the river system but are expected to drop overnight into Monday 2 February. The Roding catchment has avoided the worst of the rain today so this should not impact river levels.
Locations most affected will be low lying land and roads near the river around Abridge and Loughton.
We are closely monitoring the situation.
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.
This message will be updated by 11:00 on Monday 2 February 2026 or as the situation changes.
