Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels may lead to flooding in some places.
River levels are high on the River Dun in Hungerford. Flooding of low lying land and roads remains possible today, 27 March 2026. The weather forecast today is for light rain and drizzle, which we do not expect rivers to respond to. River levels are stable but they could respond to rainfall.
We are monitoring rainfall and river levels. Avoid low lying footpaths and roads near rivers, which may be flooded. Go to River Levels Online for updates on current river levels.
This message will be updated by 10:00 on 28 March 2026, or as the situation changes.
