Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels on Wednesday may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on 18 February 2026 as a lot of rain is forecast (25mm).
If heavy rain affects the Lymington River, flooding may affect land and roads, including Burley Road, Brockenhurst. The river will 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, the river will be higher than normal on Wednesday evening (18/02/2026) and on Thursday (19/02/2026). Only a small amount of rain is forecast from Thursday (19/02/2026) to Saturday (21/02/2026). River levels and flood risk should begin to reduce in Brockenhurst and Lymington from Thursday 19/02/2026.
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.
