Flooding expected. Take action now.
Levels at West Holme Washlands have risen throughout the day as a result of the persistent, heavy, rainfall from Sunday (20/2/2022) passing down the River Aire. Property flooding is possible from around 8:30pm this evening, 21/02/22. Water levels are increasing steadily and we expect them to rise to a level where there is an increased risk of property flooding to locations nearest the washlands, and to remain there throughout the night.
No further significant rainfall is forecast in the next 24 hours and we expect the Lower River Aire to be able to start slowly falling sometime tomorrow, 22/02/22, which will allow the washlands to start to drain over the coming days.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and please put your flood plan into action.
This message will be updated by 10:35 tomorrow morning, 21/02/2022, or as the situation changes.
