Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Forecast high river levels tomorrow may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on 13 February 2026 as a lot of rain is forecast (20mm).
River levels remain high after the rainfall of the last few weeks. If the rainfall falls as forecast tomorrow (Friday 13/02/2026), flooding is likely to affect land and roads, including Burley Road, Brockenhurst. The river will also likely be bank full as it flows through Martin’s Road and Balmer Lawn Road, and may cause garden flooding at Balmer Lawn Road. In Lymington itself, river levels will rise, but we do not expect impacts to property. More rain on Sunday (15/02/2026) could increase flood risk again. River levels and flood risk will remain high into next week.
We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and will ensure the river is kept free of reported blockages.
Consider activating any flood protection products you may have . Avoid driving through watersplash areas in Brockenhurst.
This message will be updated by 6:00PM on 13 February 2026 or as the situation changes.
