Flooding possible. Be prepared.
This is a Flood Alert update. River levels remain high in the River Avon due to the high groundwater. Locations most affected will be low lying land and roads near rivers around the tributaries between Salisbury and Ringwood. The forecast is for some dry weather through the week. We will continue to monitor the situation. Please avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses, and do not attempt to walk, cycle or drive through flood water. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car. Check local authority websites for road closures. This message will be updated by 11:00 AM on Tuesday 3rd March 2026 or as the situation changes.
