Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels may lead to flooding. Flood Warnings are in force on the River Ray from the Heath Bridge area up to and including the Otmoor Basin and also for the Islip area.
River levels are high on parts of the River Ray. Flooding of low lying land and roads is expected to continue today, 12 February 2026, in the Islip area. Further rain is forecast over the next 24 hours, which has the potential to be heavy at times. River levels are falling, however we expect levels to remain high over the coming days and responsive to further 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 12:00PM on the 13 February 2026, or as the situation changes.
