Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Groundwater levels in the Meon Valley are high but slowly falling.
At the borehole at Pound Lane, Meonstoke, the level has fallen by 83cm in the last week. Water is expected to be flowing across Rectory Lane, affecting the electricity sub-station, and behind the Buck's Head pub in Meonstoke. Mostly dry weather is forecast from Tuesday 03/03/2026 to Saturday 07/03/2026. Groundwater levels are expected to continue slowly falling across the next week. If dry weather continues to be forecast, this Flood Alert will be removed next week.
We are closely monitoring the situation.
Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working, in case groundwater levels rise once more.
This message will be updated by 18:00 10/03/2026.
