Considerable water remains on the Somerset Levels and Moors and rivers remain high. Upstream catchments are saturated and very responsive to rainfall. As such the risk of flooding continues.
Areas most at risk include locations near the River Yeo and River Parrett, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around the A37 south and A303 south west of Ilchester, the Ilchester to Limington road, and the road to Ilchester Meads. There is also a risk of flooding at Hainbury Mill, Ilchester.
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 are closely monitoring the situation. Field Teams are out clearing debris screens and checking rivers for blockages. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. 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 from Yeovilton to Huish Episcopi including Ilchester and Long Load.
