Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels today may lead to flooding. Flooding is possible on 11 February 2026 and throughout this week. River levels on the Semington Brook at Semington and the Mid Bristol Avon at Bradford-on-Avon remain high but are currently falling. Rainfall today may cause levels to increase again. Flooding of roads and low lying land is possible, particularly between Melksham and Bathford. The flood gates at Holt Road may be closed. Further rainfall is forecast tomorrow and through the weekend so river levels may rise again in response. We are closely monitoring the situation and will issue further alerts and warnings if required. Please avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses. This message will be updated by 12:00PM on 13 February 2026 or as the situation changes.
