Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels over the next two days may lead to flooding. Flooding is possible on 23/02/2026, following a very wet January and February. Flooding is affecting Golf Links Road and Moreton Common Road. Ditches around Fort Holiday Park will struggle to drain while river levels are high. Flooding may affect low lying land, roads, cycle tracks and footpaths close to the river. At Sandown, the river remains high and will begin to slowly fall over the next 48 hours. At Langbridge and Alverstone, no flooding impacts are expected. Over the next 3 days, virtually no rain is forecast, giving the river a chance to recover. Further rainfall is forecast on Thursday & Friday (26/02/2026 & 27/02/2026), if this affects the river, the river may rise again. We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and will ensure the river is kept free of reported blockages. This message will be updated by 18:00 on 25/02/2026 .
