Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Over the last few days we have seen heavy rainfall in the Fossdyke Canal area. This means that the Fossdyke Canal has risen, leading to flooding of low-lying land and roads close to the river. We expect the river to remain high throughout the next few days and flooding to gardens, driveways or outhouses is possible close to the river. No further significant rainfall is expected for the next few days. Our forecasts indicate that flooding inside properties isn't likely and therefore flood warnings are not currently expected to be issued. We are constantly monitoring river levels and have staff in the field checking for blockages and clearing weedscreens. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated online and on FloodLine by 16:00 on 9th January, or before if the situation changes.
