Flooding expected. Take action now.
High river levels may cause flooding today. Flooding is possible on 12 February 2026. River levels on the Avon at Great Somerford are below Flood Warning levels and falling. Rainfall today is forecast to increase levels again so this Flood Warning remains in force. Areas most at risk include properties at Reybridge. Flooding is forecast to affect locations near the Bristol Avon, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around properties at Reybridge. Further rain is forecast for tomorrow and through the weekend. We are closely monitoring the situation and will issue further alerts and warnings if necessary. Activate any flood protection products you may have. This message will be updated by 10:00AM on 13 February 2026 or as the situation changes.
