Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Groundwater is high, close to the surface, but slowly rising again at the Houndean Bottom borehole. Springs will continue to appear, water could affect fields, the recreation ground, and a small number of cellars in Denton. Only small amounts of rain are forecast over the five days to 06/03/2026, and groundwater at Houndean Bottom borehole will continue to slowly fall over the coming week. There is a suggestion that high pressure, settled conditions, and only small amounts of rain could continue in the south east of England through the first half of March 2026. Which would allow groundwater to fall for longer. However, with groundwater being as high as it is, groundwater flood impacts could still continue through the first week of March. Take care on roads that flood (Denton Road). Ensure pumps work. We will monitor, and update this message by 18:00 06/03/2026.
