Flood alert for Lower Avon and tributaries

Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

River levels remain high but are slowly falling on the Lower River Avon and its tributaries. High ground water will keep river levels high for at least the next 5 days.

Flooding is forecast to affect locations near the Middle and Lower Hampshire Avon, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around tributaries between Ringwood and Christchurch.

The forecast is for more settled conditions to build over the next 3 days.

We will continue to monitor rainfall and river levels.

Please consider activating any property flood protection products and start acting on your flood plan if you have one. Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.

This message will be updated by 4:00 PM on 25/12/2024, or as the situation changes.

Flood alert area: Tributaries between Ringwood and Christchurch.
