Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Forecast high river levels over the next two days may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible from the afternoon of 14 December 2025 until the morning of Tuesday 16 December 2025.
Land around the River Colne and Fenay Beck and its tributaries including Crowhill, Slaithwaite and Wessenden. Locations most affected will be low lying land and roads near rivers. We are expecting a heavier burst of rain between midday and 2pm which is likely to generate surface water flooding. From 6pm we will see more persistent rain which will continue until the early hours of Tuesday morning and this will likely impact rivers.
We are closely monitoring the situation
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water .
This message will be updated by 11:00PM on 14 December 2025 or as the situation changes.
