Rising river levels overnight may lead to flooding.
Flooding of roads and low lying land is possible, property flooding is not expected.
Flooding is possible from 5:30 PM on 23/01/2025.
Flooding is forecast to affect locations near the Middle and Lower Hampshire Avon, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around tributaries between Ringwood and Christchurch.
Further rainfall is forecast over the weekend and further river response is expected.
We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and liaising with emergency services and local authorities.
Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses.
Please do not drive through floodwater as bow waves may affect adjacent properties.
Stay away from floodwater - it contains hidden dangers such as open manhole covers, sewage and chemicals.
Don't put yourself or others at risk.
This message will be updated by 3:00 PM on 23/01/2025, or as the situation changes.
