Flooding expected. Take action now.
High river levels are expected to cause flooding over the next two days.
Flooding is expected on 18 February 2026 because of the combination of rain and high tide.
High tide is forecast at 23:45 on 18/02/2026 and 02:00 on 19/02/2026. The water level is expected to be 5.04 metres Chart Datum (2.30 mAOD). Flooding may affect the access road and car parking areas near the White Swan Pub and the car garage at Mansbridge. Parts of Riverside Park will also be flooded. The next high tide, at 12:00 on 19/02/2026, will be similar. Today's rainfall is forecast to continue through to Thursday morning 19/02/2026, with up to 25mm predicted. If this affects the river, then flood risk and impacts will increase. Some water may be forced up through the floor of the pub.
We are checking rivers for blockages and liaising with Southampton City Council on operation of Woodmill.
Activate any flood protection products you may have , including defences around the White Swan pub.
This message will be updated by 6:00PM on 19 February 2026 or as the situation changes.
