Property flooding is not expected.
River levels on the Lambourn and its tributaries are high due to high groundwater levels and recent rainfall. Flooding of low lying land and roads is expected to continue today and in the days to come, especially in areas closest to the River Lambourn in Newbury and on the Winterbourne in the Bagnor area. Today and overnight, 17/04/2024, are forecast to be mainly dry with a few scattered showers. River levels are expected to begin slowly falling over the coming days, but will remain high and sensitive to further rainfall.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. Go to the 'River and Sea levels in England' webpage for current river levels. This message will be updated tomorrow morning, 18/04/2024, or as the situation changes.
