Groundwater flooding south of the Humber Estuary Flood alert 1:13pm, Friday 12th January 2024

Flooding possible. Be prepared.

Flood alert

Over the past few weeks we have seen heavy and prolonged rainfall across North Lincolnshire. This means that the groundwater levels in Barrow upon Humber have risen. Groundwater levels appear to have peaked, however levels remain high. No further significant rainfall is expected for the next few days and we do not currently expect properties to be affected. Groundwater flooding can be distinguished from river flooding as it will often be clear and is unlikely to flow. This message will be updated online and on Floodline by 16:00 on 13th January 2024, or before if the situation changes.
