Flood alert for River Yeo and Parrett, Upper Reaches
Get flood warnings by phone, text or email
Considerable floodwater remains on the Somerset Levels and Moors. Upstream catchments are saturated and are very responsive to rainfall, and consequently the risk of flooding continues.
Areas most at risk include locations near the River Yeo, River Parrett and River Cary, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected particularly around the Ilchester to Yeovilton road at the end of runway.
Further bands of rainfall are expected during Tuesday 10th February and through Wednesday. The outlook remains unsettled with further rain over the coming days, turning cooler and potentially drier on Friday and Saturday.
We continue to monitor 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 11th February 2026, or as the situation changes.
Flood alert area: River Yeo and Parrett from Yeovil to Limington and North Barrow to Somerton.
