River levels are high but steady on the Middle and Lower Hampshire Avon due to raised groundwater levels.
Areas most at risk include tributaries between Ringwood and Christchurch.
Further rainfall is forecast this afternoon.
No further flooding to fields and roads is expected, however there may be standing water seen for several days.
We will continue to monitor the forecast and re-issue this alert if necessary.
Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses and do not attempt to walk or drive through flood water.
This message will be updated by 11:00 AM on 29/11/2023, or as the situation changes.
