Groundwater levels in Hambledon are high, but continue to slowly fall. At our borehole at Whitedale Farm, the level has fallen by 2.01m in the last week. Groundwater levels have now fallen below the level we would expect cellar flooding to be ongoing, although some residual water may still be present. Rain is forecast to affect Hampshire from today (25/04/2024) to Monday 29/04/2024, with some heavy spells possible over the weekend. It is possible that between 20 and 50mm of rain could be recorded during this time. Groundwater levels are expected to continue slowly falling initially, but could stabilise and even rise slightly if heavy rain affects Hambledon. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. Please remain prepared for further flooding impacts as groundwater levels will be responsive to heavy rainfall. This Flood Alert will be updated by 18:00 on Thursday 02/05/2024.
