Flooding expected. Take action now.
The water level in the Eastern Yar at Alverstone is high and rising. In the last 13 hours, 34mm of rain has been recorded at Wroxall. This is a significant amount in a short time. Golf Links Road, the access track at Horringford, cycle tracks, and footpaths across the Upper Yar Valley will become impassable. From 16:00 this afternoon (27/11/24) in Alverstone, the main road will flood near the main road bridge. Water will begin to surround property in Alverstone and Langbridge, flooding a small number of properties. Garden flooding is expected at Whitwell High Street. Rain will shortly clear the area. At Alverstone, the river will rise until at least 21:00 this evening (27/11/24). Dry weather is expected until Sunday 01/12/24. This will give the river a chance to return to normal levels. We will ensure the river is kept free of reported blockages. Please install flood protection now and leave it in place until Friday 29/11/24. This Warning will be updated by 21:00 on Thursday 27/11/24.
