Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels on Wednesday may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on 11 February 2026 as a lot of rain is forecast (20mm).
River levels remain high from rainfall experienced over the last few weeks, and due to high and rising groundwater levels. More rain is forecast tomorrow Wednesday 11 February, until the early hours of Thursday morning. Flooding is affecting Bishopstoke Road Playing Fields and possibly some gardens in Bishopstoke. Water may also affect the top of Duttons Lane and Withy Meadows, Eastleigh. Only a small amount of rain is forecast later this week and into the weekend, but weather conditions remain unsettled. River levels and flood risk will remain high.
We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and managing sluices at Bishopstoke and Stoke Lock.
Consider activating any flood protection products you may have .
