Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

Rising river levels throughout the evening may lead to flooding.

Flooding is possible from 6:00 PM on 23/11/2024.

Flooding is forecast to affect locations near the River Lim, River Char, River Winniford, Simene River, River Brit, River Asker, River Mangerton, River Bride, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around the Rivers Lim, Char, Winniford, Simene, Brit, Asker, Mangerton and Bride.

Further flooding is possible tomorrow morning as river levels are forecast to rise due to overnight heavy rainfall.

We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and clearing debris from weed screens.

Start acting on your flood plan if you have one.

Monitor local water levels and weather conditions.

Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car.
