River levels are slowly receding but remain high on the River Piddle due to high groundwater levels. Flooding is forecast to affect locations near the River Piddle, with low lying land expected to be most affected, particularly around tributaries between Alton Pancras and Wareham. The Forecast is dry for the next few days. We will continue to monitor the forecast and re-issue this alert if necessary. Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses and do not attempt to walk, cycle or drive through flood water. This message will be updated by 5:00 PM on 21/04/2024, or as the situation changes.
