Groundwater levels continue to remain high in response to recent and rainfall. Levels are expected to receed later this week, however flooding of fields and roads is still possible. Levels are reactive to further rainfall. No significant rainfall is forecast in the next few days.
Flooding of roads and fields is possible. Where groundwater is near the surface, intense rainfall will lead to surface water flooding.
Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
