Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Groundwater levels in Bramdean and Cheriton are high but slowly falling. Flooding is affecting cellars of a small number of properties in Cheriton. Septic tanks will be struggling to operate effectively. Only a small amount of rain (between 10 and 20mm) is forecast to affect Hampshire between Monday 09/03/2026 and Friday 13/03/2026. Over the weekend and into next week, further unsettled weather is possible. Groundwater levels in Bramdean and Cheriton will continue falling this week, but could rise during the second half of March if further heavy rain affects the area. We are closely monitoring the situation. Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed. This message will be updated by 18:00 16/03/2026.
