Further heavy rainfall is forecast over the next few hours. We expect river levels to continue to rise and peak at a level of 2.1m between 18:00 and 18:30.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are closely monitoring weather forecasts and river levels and will issue (further) flood warnings if necessary.
