Lower Itchen

Flood alert

Flows and water levels in the lower River Itchen remain high. This follows months of prolonged wet weather and high groundwater levels. The river will remain out of bank affecting Bishopstoke Road Playing Fields, the top of Duttons Lane and Withy Meadows, Eastleigh. The forecast for the coming week is mainly dry, with some light rain showers but no significant rainfall totals. If it remains dry river levels should start to fall slowly in the coming week. Flood impacts to low lying land are continuing. There is no current risk of property flooding. Our operational staff are out keeping the river free of reported blockages. This Flood Alert will be updated by 15:00 on 19/03/24.
