Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels on Friday may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on 13 February 2026 as a lot of rain is forecast (20mm).
River levels remain high from the rainfall experienced over the last few weeks. If the rainfall falls as forecast tomorrow (Friday 13/02/2026), flooding is likely to affect low lying land, roads, cycle tracks and footpaths close to the river. At Langbridge and Alverstone, levels are likely to reach close to bank full. If thresholds at Sandown are reached, flooding of Golf Links Road and Moreton Common Road may occur. Ditches around Fort Holiday Park will struggle to drain while river levels are high. More rain on Sunday (15/02/2026) could increase flood risk again.
We are monitoring rainfall and river levels , checking rivers for blockages and operating Bembridge sluices.
Consider activating any flood protection products you may have , including in Alverstone.
This message will be updated by 6:00PM on 13 February 2026 or as the situation changes.
