Following the period of heavy rainfall, groundwater levels are likely to respond rapidly across the West of Dorset Area.
Flooding is possible in this area.
Check pumps and deploy any flood protection measures that you have.
Avoid driving through flood water as the bow wave from your car may cause flooding to nearby homes.
Do not lift manhole covers to drain surface water as this can cause toilets further downhill to surcharge.
This message will be updated as the situation changes.
