River levels are rising at the Bewdley river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is possible. We expect flooding to affect low lying land and roads adjacent the river from Highley to Tewkesbury. Locations affected are Stourport, Holt Fleet, Worcester, Kempsey, Severn Stoke and Upton upon Severn. Floodplain starts to fill. Install property level protection if required.
Predicted peaks:- Bewdley 4.2m to 4.7m Tuesday PM, 10/12/24; Worcester 4.7m to 5.1m overnight Tuesday, 10/12/24; Diglis 4.2m to 4.5m overnight Tuesday, 10/12/24; Kempsey Yacht Club 6.3m to 6.7m, Tuesday night, 10/12/24; Saxons Lode 4.6m to 5.1m on Tuesday night 10/12/24.
No significant rainfall is due over the next 48 hours. We expect river levels to remain high over the next few days. We are closely monitoring the situation. Please avoid low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
This message will be updated by 11:00 Tuesday, 10/12/2024, or as the situation changes.
