This is an archived message. The status has changed more recently.
The heavy rain from yesterday cleared the area in the early hours of the morning and no further rain is forecast today, 21/09/2025. River levels are falling and are expected to continue to fall throughout the day. No further flooding to fields and roads is expected, but there may still be some areas where flood water is present until it can naturally drain away. Continue to take care on riverside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger.
