Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels on Thursday may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on 22 January 2026 from 10:30, as a lot of rain (22mm) fell on Wednesday.
Flooding could affect Golf Links Road and Moreton Common Road. Ditches around Fort Holiday Park will struggle to drain while river levels are high. Light rain is forecast to continue throughout today (22/01/2026). River levels and flood risk should begin to reduce in Sandown by 01:00 AM on 23/01/2026.
We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and operating Bembridge sluices.
Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car .
This message will be updated by 11:00AM on 23 January 2026 or as the situation changes.
