River levels are high but falling falling slowly at the Eathorpe gauge. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is expected today, 28/03/24.
We expect flooding to affect low-lying land and roads adjacent to the River Leam between Grandborough and Leamington including Kites Hardwick, Birdingbury, Marton, Eathorpe, Hunningham and Offchurch and the River Itchen between Southam and Marton including Long Itchington.
Further rainfall is forecast this afternoon and evening.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively checking river levels and the weather forecast.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths and bridges near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
Stay aware in case further warnings are issued.
This message will be updated on 29/03/24, or as the situation changes.
