Flood alert for South East Somerset Rivers, Upper Reaches
The river level remains high at the Sherborne Lake gauge. Property flooding is not expected, however flooding of low lying land is possible near this location.
The Stoford and Barwick streams, and Rivers Yeo, Cam and Wriggle have all returned to their usual level for the time of year, following the rainfall over the weekend.
Weather conditions are expected to remain largely dry for the next few days. We are closely monitoring rainfall and river levels, and staff have been clearing debris from weed screens and checking rivers for blockages.
Please monitor local water levels and weather conditions, and be careful using low lying footpaths near local watercourses.
This message will be updated by 2:00 PM on 22/10/2024, or as the situation changes.
