High river levels on Thursday may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on 11 December 2025 as a lot of rain fell in the past week.
Flooding is affecting low lying land, roads, cycle tracks and footpaths close to the river. At Langbridge and Alverstone, river levels are continuing to fall. At Sandown river levels are stable. There is flooding of Golf Links Road and Moreton Common Road. Ditches around Fort Holiday Park will struggle to drain while river levels are high. River levels and flood risk should reduce tomorrow but the river will be responsive to further rainfall over the next few days.
We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and will ensure the river is kept free of reported blockages.
Consider activating any flood protection products you may have.
