Groundwater levels have risen in response to recent rainfall. Levels are expected to continue to rise and flooding of fields and roads is possible. Levels are reactive to further rainfall. Further rainfall is expected over the next few days with upto 20mm expected to fall over the next few days, which could see levels continue to rise.
Flooding of roads and fields is possible. Where groundwater is near the surface, intense rainfall will lead to surface water flooding.
Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
