Flooding expected. Take action now.

Flood Warning

River levels at Beal rose slightly due to last night’s rain, 29/02/20, but did not cause further water to enter washlands. River levels are now beginning to slowly fall. Washland levels at Hensall Ings and Roall Ings are also beginning to slowly fall, but remain high, so flood risk to properties remains.
Scattered showers are forecast for the next few days, but we do not expect this to cause more water to enter the washlands from the river. High tides are falling until Thursday. Whilst they will not significantly add to river levels, they will continue to slow the draining of the Aire, so river and washland levels will remain elevated into next week. Significant draining of washlands will only occur once river levels drop enough to allow them to drain.
Please remain vigilant and put your flood plan into action. We are closely monitoring the situation from our incident room. This message will be updated by 19:45, 01/03/20, or if the situation changes.
