Severe flood warning

This Severe Flood Warning has been issued because of flooding in Derby City Centre as a result of Storm BABET.
Flooding continues.
Areas most at risk are Little Chester, particularly the Eastgate, and Cattle Market Areas.
Further light rainfall is forecast over the next 36 hours, however river levels continue to rise due to rainfall traveling from the upper Derwent. We expect river levels to remain high until 23/10/23.
