Localised flood water remains in the low-lying areas near the River Parrett estuary between Bridgwater and the coast. Low lying land and roads may be affected, particularly in areas west of the M5 to the coast, including near Chilton Trinity, Combwich and Steart.
A band of persistent rain, at times heavy, is forecast through the afternoon and evening of today, Monday 9th February. Tuesday sees further bands of rainfall arriving from the southwest, although totals are expected to be lower than on Monday. Catchments remain saturated and rivers are very responsive to further rain.
We are closely monitoring the situation and Field Teams are out clearing debris screens and checking rivers for blockages. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Remain aware of local water levels and weather conditions and don’t put yourself or others at risk.
This message will be updated by 1PM on 10th February 2026, or as the situation changes.
