Flooding is possible - be prepared

Flood alert for Groundwater flooding in the Salisbury Plain area

Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

Groundwater levels have slowly started to recede. Levels are very reactive to further rainfall. There is rain forecast for 1st Jan 2025.

After New Year's Day the forecast is for high pressure to build over the next 3-5 days which should see groundwater levels continue to fall.

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.

This message will be updated by 3 PM on 7/1/2025, or as the situation changes.
