Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels over the next three days may lead to flooding. Flooding is possible on 19/02/2026 because of above average rainfall in January and February. Minor flood impacts may continue at 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 over the next 5 days but river levels will remain higher than normal throughout February and into March. We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and managing sluices at Bishopstoke and Stoke Lock. Consider activating any flood protection products you may have. This message will be updated by 21/02/2026 18:00.
