Daily Risk Forecast Maps
Forecast issued by the Met Office at 3:00pm, Wednesday 13th November
River flooding is expected to continue in the Lower River Don washland area of South Yorkshire through to at least Sunday, where properties will continue to flood and there will be continued travel disruption. Ongoing river flooding is also expected to continue in parts of Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire today (Wednesday) as a result of rain that has already fallen. From this evening and on Thursday, heavy rain will move across much of England and Wales. Across parts of north and east England, including south Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, this could exacerbate flooding impacts on Thursday and into Friday. The south of England and Wales could also see flooding from rivers and surface water from tonight (Wednesday) and on Thursday. Land, roads and properties could flood and travel disruption is possible. Local flooding is also possible across other parts of England and Wales on Thursday and across the far south-east and east of England later Friday and over the weekend. Ongoing local river flooding may also continue in parts of South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire over the weekend. Land, roads and some properties may flood and there may be travel disruption.
Looking ahead
Successive bands of rain and showers next week may lead to further significant inland flooding impacts if they fall over saturated catchments.
The overall river flood risk is MEDIUM.
Ongoing significant impacts are expected in South Yorkshire around the Lower River Don throughout this period. On-going minor impacts from river flooding continue in Notts and Lincs today. Significant impacts from river flooding are possible from Thursday to Sunday in other parts of South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and in parts of the north and east Midlands on Thursday into Friday.
